nope never. i water from the top and just a bit every other day as they use it and dry out some will drink more than others but usually the strains will drink the same amount or rather the same pheno's will drink about the same.

i know i should be watering from the bottom up but i just dont have the room for the saucers under each pot i've got a couple of big garland trays and im wary of filling them up with feed it will just lead to problems.

never had a salt build up that i know of ( i dont even flush half way through the grow) i guess im kinda doing my own thing but so far so good . if it aint broke n all that.

man i love that afghan hashy smell deep and thick hmmmm i never did germ the straight afghan i bought a while back. ive been thinking and next round after xmas when the dq clones are done im going to do a proper mix up clear my seed stock out and stat afresh with keeper mums.

Every one to their own method mate, I top water just give it untill it comes out the bottom this way I water about every 3 or 4 days.
I dont flush untill the last few days unless the run off hits over 1800ppm.

wow really full strength was less than 500?!?!? thats pretty low man even 800 isnt exactly breaking the bank. i bet that shoots right up when you chuck a bit of pk into the mix tho

No the old lower fan leaves are dying off at 8 weeks but the bud growth is very healthy, and all sweet leaves are a jucy green I have noticed what I think is a bit of hermi going on in the middle of the top bud.

Im kinda doing the same as u regarding run off and that with the 11ltrs pots. I got a ppm meter off ebay and it didnt last 5 days b4 it stopped working altogether. I did in the time i had it manage to get readings of full feds of mine and it was approx 1500 with canna boost and pk and a+b in the amounts i get. I stoped filtering my water tho, didnt see any difrence so wewnt back to tap water lol.

yeah man i hear ya id be mixing bathfull's of nutes to get run off out of 12 11 litre pots and with the recent mouldgate scandal less water is good news :lol:

whats the crack with the canna boost i looked at it n it seemed an expensive organic version of pk right?!

i've been thinking about using the water that collects in my dehumidifier but i'm a bit dolly dimple, n i'm not sure if that water will have no oxygen content after being sucked through he dehumidifier?!?!

Its the haze thats got what I think is herm.

Im in 18l pots takes about 3½ lits to achive run off, coco drys out so much faster than any soil Iv used.

Dehumidifier water will be high in copper mate.

3 days on the coco 4/5 on the soil Iv also left 2 cheese in the same pots as they vegged in, be interesting to see if they do go root bound and what effects it has.

man i doubt they'll suffer for being in the same pot. root bound to the point where the plant actually suffers is quite hard to achieve

Hope to find that out lol.

A question for you,
the bit Iv out linned is that hermi? It looks the same as what Iv got on haze.
