hey guys ive been doing alot of research im a bit confused im using coco and an iguana juice and bloom boosters with some calmag every watering when feels light and looks like it needs to be watered, every watering i allow an ok amount of run off. Now my problem is ive searched riu and couldnt find any thing about this i did a google search but i dont trust other sites like i trust this one my problem is i feed at about 500+/- ppm and my run off is around 1000! From what im understanding this means im having salt build ups and i should flush oh yea let me add that i am mid flower week 5ish with lots of sugary bud sites what do you guys think thank you

FLush that bitch! YOur in Nutrient Lockout.... Your not letting the pot sit in its own runoff water are you?? The runoff is WASTE... Thats all the salts and stuff you want out... You need to Flush Flush Flush until your ph going in is around the same as when it comes out.... Meaning if its 5.8 on the way in, and 7.8 on the way out... you need to flush it until it is 5.8 on the way in, and no more than 6.2 on the way out..... Same with ppms.....

my ph run off is at 5.8 do i flush with just RO water phed to 5.8? no nutes ? my ro water ppm is 25 where do i want my ppm at? i dont let it sit i prop it up over a trash can and let it drip dry before i put it back in the room with lights usually let it sit propped up for 30-50 mins probably around 10-15 maybe 20 % run off
