Run off ph issues coco

SierraKilo1313started grow question 2h ago

What if the PH of my run off is at 7.4 in my coco perlite medium ? How am I supposed to fix it? What if I am trying to clear the media of excess residual salts due to nutrient burn as well at the same time. Ho wam I supposed to approach this situation point by point.

I’d suggest doing a full flush with pH-balanced water (aim for 5.5–5.8). Pour it through until you get about 30% runoff to wash out the excess salts. This will fix your pH levels, too. Let it dry out for a couple of days before feeding again. Just remember to always pH (5.5-6.5) your water and check your runoff numbers!
