Run-off Results to high?
CommanderCannabisstarted grow question 4 years ago
My first reading (after pouring 6 quarts of water thru the coco medium) was over 4900 PPM. After another 6 qts it read 1995 and after a third round it read 908 PPM. This is my first time doing a run-off test, should the PPM be lower?

Are you flushing with water or nuets?
If water there is something in those pots you have to keep at IF these reading are correct.
Runoff should be within a few hundred PPM in to out. Tap Water would be oh 100ppm-ish so your run off will be very low flushing with water.
THe coco itself will give you 100ppm, so a water only flush would finish when the ppm hit about 200-ish.
If you are using nuets to flush, actually that is a better way to do it unless there are problems, 900ppm going in having 1300 out would not be out of line.
But 4900 is yeah thats really dangerous IF the reading is correct, they do get a little odd at high readings still it was high.
900 in 900 out is pretty much flushed. You should be ok BUT
How did it get so high?
Do you go to runoff each time?

I don't know the PPM values but in ec I had a 4.03 runoff this afternoon on my grapefruit almost ready to harvest and she is doing good , some tips are burning since a week or 10 days but that's it.
Nutrients values of the runoff are crazy , it's pretty much the same for everybody , you can even find some forum thread named "my coco runoff is crazy"

EC measurements rangeI've got an EC Meter now and measurements are confusing me. Using a milwaukee instruments CD611, so supposed to multiply measurement by 100 for EC. My plants runoff are 16, 17, 20 and 30 each. EC of water going in is 15-16, same feed mix for all. Best EC range runoff to be? ThankFeeding. Other

Determining the ideal watering schedule for my plant in coco coir/perliteI remarked that my plant grows much faster when I leave a day in between feeds, but that's not applicable to every plant, and I want a sure way of knowing exactly when my plant needs water(using coco coir/perlite, I'll answer more in replies as there's a limit of chars here)

High ppm in drainageI flushed coco two times with 8-10 litres with CalMag (200 ppm) and it does not help. You can see in my comments to the last weeks of the diary that it doesn't matter how much ppm I water the plant, it is always 2-3 times more ppm in drainage.What should I do?6 months ago

Flushing or feedingIm already flushing the plant for 2 weeks but as the Trichomes are not changing much it will need some more time to fully develop. I want to see some (10%) amber trichomes.What should I do now? Continue flushing or give some organic nutrients again? Probably need 2 weeks more.

First harvestWelcome to the members. It will be my first harvest. How much time do you think you have left? I asked this question a week ago, but the flowers swelled up a lot in a week. Can you leave 2 more weeks? In such a case, should I start washing with only clean water with a pH?

Nutrient LockoutI'm guessing this is nutrient lockout. Yesterday they were thirsty, so I watered by usual two gallons of aquarium water, but added no other nutrients. It only seems like one plant is being affected. How long should I withhold any nutrients; should I dial back when I do resume?
