I'm using 5 gallon fabric pots with HP Pro-mix medium, how much water/fluid are you all using per watering? For ease, I water/feed 1 gallon per plant and I'm thinkin I'm getting nute build up cuz I'm not quite getting 10% run-off, my final flush run-off was 3200 PPM.

Hi, Using 5 gallon fabric pots with HP Pro-mix medium, it's recommended to water/feed around 1.67 gallons per plant to achieve the desired 10% runoff. This is based on the assumption that you're currently getting around 6% runoff with 1 gallon of water per plant. A high final flush runoff PPM of 3200 indicates potential nutrient buildup. To prevent this, consider the following: Increase watering volume: As calculated above, increasing the watering volume to 1.67 gallons per plant should help achieve the target 10% runoff. Monitor runoff PPM: Regularly check the PPM of your runoff water to track nutrient levels. Flush regularly: Flush your plants with plain water periodically to remove excess salts and prevent nutrient lockout. 1 The frequency of flushing depends on various factors, including the type of nutrients used, water quality, and plant stage.   Consider a lighter feeding schedule: If you're using concentrated nutrients, reducing the feeding strength or frequency might help prevent nutrient buildup. By adjusting your watering practices and monitoring nutrient levels, you can optimize your feeding regimen and ensure healthy plant growth. Merry Christmas buddy.
