I do not get any runoff and the coco is pretty dry.
If you're letting the coco dry out completely between feedings/waterings, and you're not feeding/watering to the point of run-off, my guess, based on very limited experience, is that you've got a build-up of nutrients in the media. Personally, I would recommend a flush with RO water one day, then start feeding again with lower dosing rates (for instance, if you use 5ml/1tsp of Canna A, then cut it down to 2.5ml/1/2tsp.
No worries, CJ, I'm not one to get my panties in a bunch when something I write is being examined. Keeps me on my toes, and hell, I might learn something in the bargain! That said, I'm not sure I'm picking up what you're putting down here with regards to the difference between "left over nutrients and more about nutrient salt build up upon complete dehydration." Some may holler, "SEMANTICS!" but that was the one English course I almost failed for just not getting it.Not trying to be nitpicky, and maybe I dunno what the fuck I am talking about 'cause I am a multiple time college dropout, but it is less about left over nutrients and more about nutrient salt build up upon complete dehydration.
That is why I suggest using Clearex and not just RO water. Clearex will flush out nutrient salt buildups. I also don't have a problem nuting full strength after a flush. I don't know why that idea is around, I think Botanicare was behind it, but I don't run partial strength after a Clearex flush in pure hydro or with mums in peat/per/ver mixes.
Great advice though Seamaiden, not rying to pick apart our post.

I ended up buying some FloraKleen (sorry, the Botanicare product is a lower usage rate and was better priced!)
