-so i did like you said i checked the run off and it was 1200 -1400 ppm in the soil wich i don't fuckin understand when the highest i have ever put it was 700ppm usually 300-450ppm is what i put.??
-i checked the ph in the run off the first reading i took was 6.0 ph then i put a second dose of water in the same pot just to double check and it drop to 5.8ph and so on and so on down to 5.3 ph .so i continued to flush this plant till the run off was the same as the water i was putting in witch 6.3 ph.well i can tell ya i spent all fuckin night doin this to 14 of them 4 hours and over 85 gallons of water another what the fuck??why did it take soo long to flush these right ? I probably wouldn't have to flush them that much if i was using gas as my nutes.anyways i am yet to see a difference
in the plants it's been 2 day and pots are still soaked about how long till i see a change in the plants???and will they take a shock from the over flushing?????and how can i get the nutes back into to them without running into the same prob i just had??
Don't know how much 'run-off' you are aiming for, I'm not in soil. I would try it out... First let them get dry again, they will be fine without nutes until then. I think a lot of soil guys switch up every other watering with just water, but in the end, if you want to be sure, you do what you did, check the 'run off' frequently and adjust accordingly.
Now, for the more important lesson here for you. Let's say you pour a 500ppm solution in a shot glass, then you wait until the water evaporates, what do you have left in the glass?
You have 500 ppm of solids left sticking to the glass.
Now, let's say we add another solution with 700 ppm to the same glass, once it has dried up and we measure the ppms again, then we would get 1200 ppm. Are you starting to understand how this works?!
The unused nutes will accumulate in the medium if not flushed regularly i.e some with each watering.
There are established guidelines for this, just go by them and most important off all, check your 'run-off' regularly, like you are doing, in order to catch problems before they turn into catastrophes
Good luck,
