You absolutely check and Monitor runoff in Coco no exceptions.
i totaly agree on this but theoretically u can hit the low ppm drop u wanna c by just flushing a bit more....The high ppm run off 8400 was most likely because the sample you took had alot of accumilated salt Build up. Thats why when you let it runoff a bit more you got alot lower ppm
That's a fact but flush with quarter strength nute.Absolutely!
If You see the plants stressed flush it to desired ppm. Thats the great thing about coco.
Prob is it doesn't tell you the truth. Coco actually releases one mineral when it's absorbs Ca. I can't remember exactly , I just know testing run off can drive you insane and nothing like chasing your tail...Well I have never jacked off an alligator or a crocodile lol.
But what I would say until You establish a solid feed routine its a usefull tool. It will help You understand how much and when to feed. Helped Me alot.

@Wisher619 will you explain the cation exchange AGAIN lol..
Brother you ought to just save some of these explanations so when I put you on the spot u can copy and paste lol
We'll you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make em drink it...Thx fellas!
I have heard about it.
Im just not sold that it makes a big enough difference to justify Not checking runoff.
IMO if You manage Your salts with plain water every other feeding and satisfy calmag You will come pretty damn close.
But not to test because the exchange rate might throw it off seems silly to Me and a nonsensical approach to growing in Coco.
Most importantly dont make drastic adjustments based on water runoff. Observe the plants and make adjustments based on that.
