I check the runoff quite a bit, with salt based nutes checking the runoff can give you a good idea of how the plants respond to your feed schedules, for instance; say your input is 1.2EC and your runoff is between 0 to 0.6EC it means the plants are eating well and you can increase the feed EC if needed.Do you check your ppm run off after every feed
My feed schedule is feed feed feed water
Normally that's my problem but lately it's been the complete opposite. Fed autos 6.0 pH 1.2 EC the other day and measured runoff on one and it was way over 7. Don't have these issues with the Ortega on the drippers. Not the biggest fan of CocoI had that problem with coco acid runoff high EC . Not with sand as feeding from the bottom plants only take up what they need . No runoff so nothing to check . Just watch the plants for change.![]()
I do like clay ball basket in a dwc bucket...definitely some of my better performancesNormally that's my problem but lately it's been the complete opposite.

Not the biggest fan of Cococan't wait to go back to clayballs
The only bad thing I've experienced with them is the plants fall over in late flower from being so top heavyI do like clay ball basket in a dwc bucket...definitely some of my better performances
Technically you don't have run off.I had that problem with coco acid runoff high EC . Not with sand as feeding from the bottom plants only take up what they need . No runoff so nothing to check . Just watch the plants for change.![]()
