JJ.chronic.clones,
Thanks for the moral booster,yeah plants look realy good,and I am gonna roll with them,and hope they continue to thrive,had my tent open this morn,and came into room they definetly starting to get a nice aroma,only 2wks old,I think my problem might be that sand I put on top and bottom of pots.Did you read my post this morn about soaking sand and coco,then checking ph. maybe I should carefully scrape that crap off the top,not messing with bottum.Only put sand in that one pot,the others are in smart pots,and dodnt think gnats would get through fabric,and only had a small bag of it so the plant in coco was only one with sand. Does anyone agree sand might be problem with runoff?

Well,after soaking coco,and that sand used came to conclusion the sand is the reason for the high runoff.Soaked over night coco 6.45ph,and sand 7.3ph,so I scraped sand off top best I could,and runoff is down 6.3to6.5,still hogh but sand is still on the bottom so going to live with that,and hope plant does to.Thanks to all of you!And LiveGrowandLearn

Knew it had to be something throwing it off,the lable on that sand said use for soil cover,so it went in basket,so you mill your own lumber,thats sweet,myself am getting ready to cut down a few pine trees,trying to thin them out to give more light,and damn things are a pain to pick up after,would be happy to let you have them!

Thank You,

Look up coco for cannibis. He says to ignore run off ph, it will drive you mad. I went through the same thing with some blue cheese. Was feeding them 800ppm at 6.3 ph and the run off ppm would never come up past 600 and the ph claimed to 7.4 on the run off. Just make sure your inflow ph and ppm are right and monitor your run off ppm or ec whatever measurement you use. Stop flushimg your plant you are stressing it out. Only time you should have to flush your plant in coco is is your ec is plus 300 on runoff and lowering the intake ec with frequent feeding hasn’t fixed it. Hope this helps and good luck buddy.
