Also when I did my 1st trial run a while back I had 3 in like 12L POTS 70% coco 30% perlite however I was watering them around 1L EACH TIME AND NOT GETING ANY RUN OFF I ran into ph problems as I didn’t have my blue lab truncheon or my ph meter but any reasons why I wasn’t getting any runoff if any at all? Should I be using some rocks at the bottom of the pots

You need to feed more than 1L in a 12L pot.
Make up a bigger mix. Keep pouring until you get run off. Same again day after. The second mount is roughly how much you need daiky. Aim for 15-20% run off
Repeat every week or so or if you see the media look dryer / wetter

Yeah, be prepared to mix up to 4 litres per plant by the end

What do you mean by that sorry newby as fuck so pour untill get runoff around 20% of the amount I’m giving it and then do the same the next day and then add those 2 amounts up and that what’s the plant needs next time in one feed rather than actross the 2 days ?

Also I’m really RE THINKING the whole ro water then as I love top floor flats don’t fancy getting seen carrying water containers up stairs constantly lol, is there a good way of using tap water as I can only imagine that even if you use ph down and get it to say 0ph like RO water the tap water would still have a shit load of bad chemicals in for the plant or am I wrong?

Yeah, you need the run off, otherwise you can get salt build ups which, in turn, cause nute lockout

I use tap water. Leave it in its jug with the cap off for 12 to 24 hours before using. Think it allows some of those chemicals to then evaporate

Ok so what I don’t understand is if I use tap water then and let it settle for 24hours , what will the ec be of the tap water after let it sit over night as RO WATER WILL BE 0 ec so I just wondered how I will go about ec levels and ppm using tap water
