Thank you. I don't see any salt or ph problems. I don't want to add any more irrigation lines. I did start adding some Raw Yucca powder to my rez, a wetting agent that I heard might help disperse the water evenly. Ok, so running more thru the halos will help if there's too much salt. I see. I still feel hesitant about pouring plain water around the dry edges.If you're putting enough through with the halos to get run off the edges will wick moisture from the rest of the pot. It's never a terrible idea to run some plain ph water through but you shouldn't have to unless you're getting heavy salt buildup.
And if you're getting heavy salt buildup, you should run more through the halos.
That's what I'm concerned about, cation exchange. They can only take up so much nutrients because we're are in control of that root zone and what they are getting. That E.C and PPms need to be in the right range at all times from what I heard when feeding in coco, every time theyre fed. Apparently, Ph'd water with-out any nutes can throw off that exchange and roots. All hear say. I wish I can hear more thought. Thanks for the return. Much appreciated gro!I've read numerous times not to use plain water in coco something to do with cation exchange
I thought I should mention it's allegedly not a good idea idk how accurate that is you might want to check it out.
Are you using the hydro halos as a constant drip or a cycle on and off?Thank you. I don't see any salt or ph problems. I don't want to add any more irrigation lines.

Cycle on and off. 2x a day till 10-20% run-off each time. I've tried a few schedules and right now it's working @week5 just right. Took time to dial in. I'm sure they're going to need more to drink soon too. I tried more frequent @4-5 times with 35 sec interval. I couldn't get my rez to last more than I days. Now, 2x a day at a slow drip of 4minutes each is working. What are you thinking about the halos? Thank youAre you using the hydro halos as a constant drip or a cycle on and off?
Rez would last 2-3 days. Now 5-7 daysThank you. I don't see any salt or ph problems. I don't want to add any more irrigation lines.

I've been using them for years and I love them. I use them exactly like you do. You only have to get to the 20% runoff by the last watering of the day so if you do two cycles get 10% and 10%. Or if the one in the morning gives you zero runoff (which in my opinion is totally fine) make sure the second one gives you 20%Thank you. I don't see any salt or ph problems.

Thank you. You've been very informative. I will try what you said and tinker with the run-off. Happy Growing!I've been using them for years and I love them. I use them exactly like you do.

I grew a 13oz dry weight plant in a 1 gallon container fertigating 16x a day. They are the secret sauce in drain to waste coco.
Good luck and keep us posted on the results.
