Why skip ph’ing the water? I always ph feed water especially in coco with certain nutrients. I don’t see any good that would come from it besides the extra minute it would take to ph.

he's referring specifically to straight water, even pH'ed. i've been talking with him about this, and I personally have never ran straight water through coco unless flushing at the very end, always have some level of EC in the solution as to not fuck up the cation exchange that's established in the media through proper fertigation practices.

his goal is to prevent salt build up, though the real way to prevent that is with proper fertigation practices (ie, water till at least 10% runoff, every time, and don't let the media dry out).

You really want to make sure and PH your water every single time with inert media. The PH of the water affects the up take of nutrients. Not PH every single time is a really stupid idea!

I usually give 20 percent runoff but my pots do be drying out ALOT hopefully I fix that with larger pots going from 1 gallons in flower this time to 5-7 gallons next time should help.

I tried this before with Coco. I was only flushing about once a week with minimal run off. It helped so if you are doing it every other time it might be too much. Especially once you get into flower when they are really feeding. IMO I would still go with a lower EC every other water events. Ultimately Coco should never really get to dry out for best results.

So your growing in 1 gallon pots? In flower? You would be much better off just keeping that pot 90% saturated with nutrient water no skipping.

Agreed here’s my 2 favorite strains of the 4 . the pic with the whole plant that one specifically never bulked up much, but it also stayed short and stocky the whole time so I think it’s a strain quality hopefully bigger pot will make it thicker. I didn’t have the light intensity up much until halfway into flower also
