    Default Answered: quick coco question

    is it common for the return water to be clearer than it was before i fed.
    i know it sounds silly but maybe i need to mix a little stronger .
    i dont know this is only my second coco grow. the frist one didnt end so well.

    Always did that for me. I wouldn't bother checking run off, just make sure you have 10-20% waste.

    I guess the coco could act as a "filter" of sorts and hold on to the nutes resulting in a more clear solution. I've never noticed that since my runoff goes into a dirty container.. hmmm

    Yeah I'd check the runoff numbers and see what story it's telling you.

    Hey Tommy.
    You will probably find that you are cleaning your coco of all the dust and crap with every watering you do.
    Now its had a few feeds it will be clearer as all the crap has washed out in the runoff in the first week or so.
