    Default Ec in & ec out

    As per title im noticing a HUGE spike in EC when it runs out the bottom of the pot, the feed in is PH 6.5 and EC 0.6 with PH out 5.5 and EC 3.5-5.5, now the plants look an seems healthy enough and so far have no bad signs, I'm just very curious to why this happens if anyone could enlighten me.

    Your feed is building up in the pot & will cause you issues sooner or later..... or, you are feeding her more than she is eating....

    Likely due to a build up of salts or nutrients in the medium. As u pour even water into it, the concentration in the medium is so high that it makes it come out at a high ec. Give her a good flush, 3x your pot sit with phed water. Then give her a light feeding and adjust from there. Now this assumes ur in coco which I hope is the case. Same for soil, expect don’t ph.

    Possibly feeding more than shes eating although I see no signs of the tips burning at all.. the feed is PM oldtimers supposed to be organic and I've been led to believe you don't need run off due to it being organic.. although I still use the 20% run off rule regardless. Very strange. Will give them a quick flush this week before i get the scrog in an it becomes too hard work.

    Soil & nutes are organic so it's organic out of a bottle rather than organic with the smell & time

    I see.. so no need to worry about the high EC run off at all? Just last time around i flushed about 120 litres through a 20L pot and it only dropped like 1.0 lol crazy stuff

    EC is a poor measurement for organic as it is salt based yet organic nutes aren't salt based...
