So i recently just got a bluelab truncheon to measure the EC of my runoff.

Im currently running coco hempys in the 5th week of flower. They are getting fed once a day with quite a bit of overflow runoff. When i checked my EC of the runoff the other day is was nearly 3 so i whipped up some 1/4 strenght nutes and flushed until my EC was similar to what was going in.

Now, a week later with 1.2 EC feedings its slowly crept back up to around 2 as of yesterday. Are they just not eating what im giving them or what? H&G recommends base nutes EC of 1.2 before adding their hardener.....im only going to .8EC before adding.

Not really sure whats going on or what i should do to solve this. Next run I will be using drip clean for sure.

thanks

Personally I don't pay attention to runoff... I run straight coco in pots n I feed every day. I just make sure that everything that's goin in is ph'd n that the ppm is right. I've never checked my runoff n my plants are super healthy. Do ur plants have any noticeable problems? If everythin looks good I wouldn't worry and just keep doin wat ur doing. Got any pics?
