If you don't have access to ro water go to Woolworths and buy refresh brand water in a 5 litre bottles ..or purea in a 5 or 10 litre cask...Best weater available on market free from all impurities ,, clorine and bacteria and its about $4 for 5litre or$7-8 for 10

I don't check run off cause i make sure a minimum of 10% of what i feed each plant / pot runs out at the bottom and hence i have no need to flush till end of veg and then end of flower..The 10-20% run off ensures a flushing each time i feed..

i have to run an ec of 1-1.2 and 10% runnoff if i go higher 1.4-1.6 the ec in the medium rises inflower 1.4 so there drinking water and food at a same level i use flair form tryed what ec do you run and products i used to run higher but had to flush ec would climb in 3days like 1.6 it will go to 2.2 at the end of the day this bugs are realy fucking shit up as well cheers .

How are you ripening your buds in the last 2 weeks ? Which additive are you using ie Liquid Lead or Canna Boost... Have you tried using a 10k Uva blue light for the ripening?

Couldnt tell you ec as i dont really check it now ... Been using same methods for so long its just in my brain. I started using cannas nute schedule as per instructions for Coco A + B and you cant really go wrong.. As my water is pure the ec stays what i make it up to ... If your ec in the medium is changing you must not be getting it
flushed right or your medium isnt right from the start ....Go to canna australias website and use the calculator and u shouldnt have a drama...Your ec will change as the plants take up nutrients but i hand water daily at 2 hours after lights come on and 2 hours before they go off and this keeps your medium at optimum health ... try using a little nutriboost or superthrive in your feeding to help with the health issues and also prevents them..


I also used to use perlite mix with the coco but in my trails i found it not so benifical when using canna coco nutrients ...

Im currently using superthrive i used use straight coco in 1 gallon pots veg 1 week flower for 8 feed every second day but found to many under one light so went 4 14l under one light veg 4week but took longer to dry out on the top layer so when i mix perlite feeding twice a day bringing more oxygen to the root zone what size pots and veg time are you guys running.
i met a guy like your self he was runniing coco a&b with no ec no ph just reading the instructions on back of the bottle for ten years no dramers i think your right keep it simple.

I use a variety but if u look at my pics in thread (link at bottom )
They are 8 litre pots .. Sometimes i go up to 15 or higher.Veg varies on strain but roughly 6-8 weeks ..sometimes strain dependent less .. I do ph though. not sure if i read it right in your post but i do ph at 5.8 veg 6.0 for flowering

Good medium and the right preping of the medium negates me needing it..
I use canna coco a b , cannazym, rhizo, and liquid lead instead of boost..

not a worry we try to help
