The key with coco is to have run off and not feeding it with a high PPM. Try runing 6/9
and PH at 5.8 and dont trip on your ph run off. If your plant are happy then your on point. And run drip clean at 0.4 mils and water with 15 to 20 % run off. Less is more with growing KISS. How are you feeding your plants and with what?

When the writer says
"At the right point in decomposition, the coco peat can be used as a stand-alone medium with no need to add perlite or other persistent amendments"
is he implying that there is a need for some brands of coco to use something like perlite to augment the coco?
Its a good read(canna ad not withstanding).
i use 100% coco, have for yrs, i use drip clean and never have run off, just 2 gallons of 1000ppm solution everyday(in flower)
Hey all! Newbie here...had one crop. Was pretty good, but can be much better. Just doing Sour D and first stint at Colorado Cough. Using Coco as the soil. Using Old Age as the Nuts. They are doing well, however, I am getting some burning on all edges of the older leaves in the veg stage. Whats going on there? I have also just been watering with about one gallon of nut solution to the five gallon pots and have not been getting any runoff. I am seeing that you all like to see some runoff. What do you do with that? Let it sit or suck it out?
I have never checked my run off no point if they look healthy dont worry about itI am flushing in coco. My PH going in is 5.9-6.0. EC is .4-.45. When I checked what was draining out I was getting a PH of 7.2-7.4, and an EC of 2.5-2.8.
I know that the EC is draining, and going down(why it was so high I'm not sure..EC was never over 1.75, and I did a low level(ec of .4-.6 w/ ro water phed at 6.0) flush once every 2 weeks. With drip clean every other watering/feeding.), but I am conffusing about the PH levels. Should I be more concerned about it going in or coming out? Should I adjust the water/flush so that the PH levels coming out are in the 5.8-6.2 range(by lowering the ph to about 5.0. which has the draining water coming out at around 6.5-6.7)) or is it better to have the ph water going in being in the 6.0 range, and not dealing with the draining water's PH levels?
