for those of you who measure your runoff EC hydro coco

this is by far the longest thread if conversated on, from what i recall and had time to read through, you were suggesting temps and humidity and

if you mean that in the sense that its going wrong, all i saw is to raise EC and good temps and humidity from your advice and some suggested to ignore runoff and keep it as is until visual signs. i have no flowering expirience and would need help if issues arise and theres tons that can go wrong. its why im here, with many plants to use for practice. if you have brief key phrases to advise for me to look into i will but i actually heard from one here saying high ec going into flower will bite me. otherwise when i work my way there il be reading tons of matirial on it.
You already lost me man. @xtsho made it clear. Set your ec. Then set your ph. Then water. That’s EXACTLY what I do. And I haven ran into any problems. I’m running pure floraflex coir. And 80/20 mix with perlite. The pure coir is better imo. I’m done with the perlite in coco. Advanced nutrients sensi coco. Ph perfect. And enhancement. Bud candy. Big bud. And terpinator. Ec atm is 3.3.

i can take one or more aside from here to try out no calmg suppliment and another one with different NER and one for dryback tactics which i need much more info on and see how they turn out. i can try one with much lower calmg to see which seems to work best. high EC, lower EC, i can try out all these tips but i need time as they will need seperate solutions. everyones advice was heard, noted and appreciated thanks.

They shouldn look like that in coco. That’s why I switched to coco. My plants in soil kept looking like that

well im new and heard low ec and this is a tally to how many times a expirienced grower recommended 3.3 which i havent heard yet in coco. youtube is only starting to just now have more grow content but not much on coco. so these sites have alot of content i can learn from but cool thanks for your input i appreciate it

i heard its ok in early stages of veg from coco taking calmg and then the plants look better later when they adjust its part of why i didnt follow removing all calimagic from solution. the two mother plants in this thread, the one looking all messed up was more from heat stress but overall are happy and dont have these issues but the seedlings also have algae so i bought hydrogaurs thanks to a tip on last thread post. im going to test most advice here just need a few days as they need tranplanting and relocating then i can organize things better and see how things go for myself and eventually go off of feel or however everyone else does, maybe a few different ways.

What @xtsho said isn't good advice though if he gets by with no checking that's one thing but promoting not having to check it isn't good advice.

it helps to know he has coco expirience for long time and that its never been an issue, it kind of helps to make the next call which could be nothing at all. i think hes the one who said to just treat it like a plant that it is lol it helps with being indesicive and the other tips help with know my boundries that most havent had dead plants following. like upping ec to 3.3 and them being fine.

No no no. I’m not saying no run off. You mis read me. 20% run off is outrageous imo. I drizzle out around 5-10%. All your doing is resetting your ph and feeding solution levels.

I know you know that star. But I’m just putting it in text.

I got a decade+ of experience with coco but I didn't get the best from it until I got the nutrient sorted out, to sort out the nutrient I had to check the run off.

Eta... Its the ultimate guide to what you're plants ate using, it tells you when to raise it when to lower it without having to see issues 1st.

3.3 in mid flower with all my enhancements at once. But. I’m actually following Rasta Jeff on hitting them with my base a and b in morning. And then my enhancements at the end of the day. And I’m seeing productive results.

the new growth looks fine since i raised lights and aimed fan at light and have more fans coming but the other had always been fine and the seedlings il post again from the side view, they look good too lets see what a few changes and time does for them. just a few though until i get clones and autos.

I check my run off based upon problems and switching to bloom. But that’s it. If my plants not asking for it. I don’t check it. I know what I’m putting in. But maybe it is bad practice to preach

New growth does look fine.

But is it still feeding off it self from the lower growth? Or has that stopped?

New plants do not look like that in coco. If your feeding correctly. And I feed twice a day.
You’ll have green positive results. These are fed 2.0 believe it or not.
those look nice looks like u got a veriety of mediums going on. these last threads lately have me thinking of trying a couple soil pots. try some of the formulas people have going on from here and such

one of them it went up a node on the fan leaf not the inner growth but the rest look like theyre growing out of it but can algae cause issues? just now gave it hydrogaud a min ago.

As you said, you can choose one plant and provide different treatment to see what happens. Untill you really do that, nothing gonna change. Your plants are expresing multiple deficiency symptoms but magnesium and calcium. I think you are so much afraid of deficiency of those two and forget about the base ones. Take your tap, your base nutrients 1,3/6,0 and feed to big runoff. Your pH might be off as well.

Apparently his keyboard doesn't have a shift key or punctuation..........I stopped reading (or should I say trying to read) his posts yesterday.
Everything he writes is nonsensical.
I type it in a hurry but will try to just let posts build up and respond more concise and legible, I’m used to computers and my keyboard has minimal settings on. Sorry about that. im also settling in and starting to understand things better and make things less complicated. Hard to keep up with posts this fast, the last ones were shorter.
