Hey everyone - I just switched from soil to Gold Label coco. I wanted to test the medium, so I poured some plain water through a 1-gal pot filled with brand new coco. The runoff was 200 PPM higher than the water that was poured in. This is BRAND NEW coco. Is that normal? Thanks!

Yes, that would be the buffer used by the company who made it. Unless you got the brick form, you may have to leach until the ppms drop and then buffer the medium with calmag your self.

thanks all for the good answers!! =]]

so after all the reading i believe i need to flush that girl with 1/4 strength feed till she`s going back
to 1.2-15 EC, and do it fast cuz right now my ec runoff show 4!!! seems to be way high!
i think im doing too much mistakes here....i never had 15% runoff (only few drops), im watering every
3 days (seems to be big mistake!!!)...again, thank you all! ill be glad to hear some input about coco
here cuz i just understand im still a noob =/

It happens brotha , coco just a bit difrent then soil main thing is don’t let it get more then 40/50% dry. You can’t over water so it’s best to do once a day with sufficient run off I like to get enough in the suacers that I can test my ph an ppm runoff right in the saucer with out lifting the plants and then vacuum it out these have been a huge time saver for me best investment I’ve made especially if ur ganna scrog and pack ur room full and can’t move plants around
