I am running BCuZZ coco and am looking to deal with salt build up in my medium. I have run several rounds with no runoff watering and have had decent results but can't feed as aggressively as I would like and know that they enjoy the 15 -20 % runoff.
Is there a no runoff solution? Drip Clean? Does this really work?
The next option would be flushing onto the floor and sweeping to the drain once a week or at some interval. Any opinions on that? How often would you flush and at what ratio? I could probably make something to flush individual plants without making such a mess also. I feel flushing is hard on them so it leads me to the best option but most difficult. I also may not be at this location much longer.
It's possible to build a drain system but would need to be very low to the ground. I was considering water heater pans to pvc to some sort of a pump. I am worried that they would need to be lifted off the ground to get the water flowing to the pump. Any info on how to do it with the pans directly on the ground would be great. I worry about air in the pvc without enough pressure from gravity to fill the pvc. Or that hand watering will not fill the pvc either. Is there a pump that will create suction in that circumstance?
I could spare a little height to create gravity to move the runoff but ideally a no build, washable (plastic),cheap, riser could be found.
Thanks, hoping to hear some promising news. I could go on for days with more questions but know if your attention span is like mine I should stop here :)
