Your grow looks good man. Wait till morning till someone else chimes in.

I’d try to raise temps to get them to drink/transpire more and raise EC. That’s just me. And I could be wrong for your situation, but upping the heat won’t hurt.

We all learn. I was always burning my plants last 4 weeks or so of flower. Was running too hot. Difference between 600 and 450-500 ppm.

Mine was coming out 750-800. Drop to 500 and it comes out about 600. I do a lite flush with 60% strength once a week.

I only check run off because I use it for my vege room, and I find it comes out around 6-6.4. Lil ph down and onto the tomatoes and clones it goes.

I was always under the impression run off ph was generally non relevant.

I’m using megacrop. How about yourself?

I’m useing sensi grow a and b coco formula and cal mag plus with 3ppm ro water as base ppm to 250 with cal mag then 375 a and b I ran into this last time to the point I would flush to run off ppm 20s feed a few days then my runoff ph would drop to low 4s and my ppm runoff was always always way over than in flux like I was throwing 300ppm in at week 6 flower just to kee her alive I had no clue what to do

Coco holds oxygen very well. As long as it’s not a little plant in a large pot it’s almost impossible to overwater coco. And in coco you want to almost root bound your plants.

I’m leaning towards upping that temperature to at least 78 to get those girls drinking and keep your nutes consistent.

150 ppm calmag (0.3 EC)
Top up to total 500-600 ppm. (1-1.2 EC) nutes.
Feed to run through every day.
Ph 5.8

Ideally those girls should be drinking and transpiring soo much, pots filled out with roots and hungry so you can feed multiple times a day


If your EC climbs in run off drop nutes. Runoff ec drops add a little nutes. Don’t worry about ph.

If you missed a day watering would your pots get real light and the coco get that brown dry colour on top? I’m wondering home much they’re drinking.

I veg for eight weeks and flower for 10+ in three gallon pots. I check the root ball of every plant after harvest, just to monitor health. I've never come close to the point where I felt I needed to up size my pots. (400W MH for veg, 1000W HPS for flower). I'm in peat though, but that shouldn't make much different I wouldn't think.

Peat is about the same as coco as far as density goes so I’d assume your correct.....if also heard from a lot of die hard coco growers that 3 gal is the butter zone and they veg 10 flower 10 some o Them.....one thing I forgot to mention was I make 5gal of feed at a time and it sits out for 3 days at a time I cover it and keep it out of the light but it starts to smel like skunky pond water after the first 24hrs could this be messing up my root zone?

Haha, just noticed the cat taking a sip from your run off saucer! I bet kitty likes the chewing on the leafs. My cats did.

One also liked to piss in one of the pots I was growing in promix with. Damn, I tried to flush that to no avail. Total cat piss bud.
