Hi. I am new to this site, posted a few days ago about physical plant deformities with no replies... am I doing something wrong? Anyway, I figured the problem out I think. Using coco, tested the runoff water and ppms are through the charts. Shark is the strain. Am planning on just flushing with ph’d plain water for a couple waterings... what else can I do? Thanks so much for the help

Flushing at this point is probably a good idea. I know people say you can run coco without runoff, but I'm pretty sure you need to have your nute ratios dialed in. I would make sure you're getting runoff, like 20% to prevent excess salt buildup once you start feeding again.

What he said, plus feed every day. Don't treat it like soil. It's not soil. @MickFoster has a coco guide of sorts written up. If you Google

"Mick's Coco - K.I.S.S. - Scrog Method"

Read that thread. It's very informative.

ok, thanks so much for replies. Turns out I have the problem at two locations. And two different nut lines. Process of elimination whould say its something my “helper” is doing. I have enough experience to know my ppms and ph to water the plants. I have a “helper” who I have instructed how to water- and how to ph, ppm. however could this problem stem from ph too high or low? I know he has been adjusting ph almost everytine he goes to water.

I didnt feed until runoff. I was alternating feeding between nuts and no nuts.

i will now feed to runoff, and feed every time, After i flush for a bit to try and get all this access of nuts out of the medium. May run light on the nuts after flushing?
