What light do you have ? You say you have watered 3 times in 7 days,do you water/feed til you get some runoff?
Water I get like 10 liters run off from 30 liter watering. Lots of run off I make sure it's going crazy overflowing. Hand watering for now, but it drains through some pipe into a waste bucket and I tip that out. Over ten liters per water I only mix up 30 liters.What light do you have ?

Imo,you need more light and also to make sure your entire medium is being saturated each time.You can use a wetting agent like Yucca in your water or even a drop of dish soap .Ensure that it's legit runoff and not running around the rootball .I'm an outdoor grower but most water coco at least daily to help avoid dry spots in the mediaWater I get like 10 liters run off from 30 liter watering.

That was freshly transplanted, they are getting bigger and more roots now they need watering at least once a day. Can't wait till I set up a auto watering system this week lol
I got 4 x 25 watt LEDs down bottom half of tent and up top got a 250watt cfl.
They have been in the pots for 16 days post transplant, the first 7 or so days, they water drenched, and 30 percent run off, more then what people recommend.Imo,you need more light and also to make sure your entire medium is being saturated each time.You can use a wetting agent like Yucca in your water or even a drop of dish soap .Ensure that it's legit runoff and not running around the rootball .I'm an outdoor grower but most water coco at least daily to help avoid dry spots in the media
Haha hilarious, thanks for the inputJust overall starvation.
I'm watering 2 or 3 times a day currently, but thank you for the suggestion and information.You don’t want to let coco dry out ever. Water with feed daily
Ok, thanks for the information and suggestion, I can surely give this a go, expect I'll find and link the article, from a cannabis growing forum, some guy going into great detail saying that is way too much, that 0.7 is really hard and I should target like 1.2 Max ecIf your water comes out of the tap at .7 ec you should consider that 0. So your target ec is 1, 1.7 is what you should be mixing.
You are starving your plants.
Buy an ec meter... .7 ec from the tap isnt .7 nutrient solution.Ok, thanks for the information and suggestion, I can surely give this a go, expect I'll find and link the article, from a cannabis growing forum, some guy going into great detail saying that is way too much, that 0.7 is really hard and I should target like 1.2 Max ec
All a ppm meter does is convert ec to ppm. Plenty of charts online to help you reverse the math thereCan anyone share with me their methods of calculating ec ?
I use ppm x 2 ÷ 1000 = ec
I've just watched more videos on cannabis growing on YouTube, hydroponically.Buy an ec meter... .7 ec from the tap isnt .7 nutrient solution.
You should call that 0 and add to it accordingly.
It measures ec. In uS. Micro siemensAll a ppm meter does is convert ec to ppm. Plenty of charts online to help you reverse the math there
