ok so make you get run off, no being stingy with watering it will require more effort, I have a battery powered liquid transfer pump to deal with run off as it usually is unavoidable
This is one of the smaller ones i have. Well i’ll start doing what u guys suggested hopefully for the better

well the tips indicate minor burn which means the water is salty , reducing your feed ec might make it easier to drink, I mean you wouldn't want to chug salt all day either ?Thank you sir!! For your time and help. Appreciate it. I hope they’ll start drinking again otherwise i’ll be sad
I’ll lower it and see what happens and i flush once a week maybe i’ll do that more often.

what is the flush you do?
Just tap water... is there anything i should use?

never flush coco with plain tap. mild ec+ always at least calmag and proper ph range. plain tap will reset the buffer and you will lose it

if you want to get really technical id start measuring run off like halfway thru the stream, get your run off and compare to input if there is a gap of 400-500ppm between them your accumulating salts

you want your in to be your out , ideally

100-200 is nothing to obsess over, so if your putting 1000 in and get 1400 id flush til 1000 out again
I know that to flush i kinda need to put in water triple the size of the pot but i dont do that, i just water it just as usual daily but with just tap water.

forget all that , only flush when its a necessity, again its good to track your in/out. if you keep the salt levels low to medium you will reduce the risk of buildup, heavy feed heavier build up

also when your not feeding calmag the coco will start to consume it and push out high levels of P and this aswell could lead to lockout, never plain tap
Man i should have gotten 2 puppies instead of plants.
