Salt build up?

[MM2K6]

It was flushing, guessing salt build up. Flushed each pot with 10L fresh water perked backup, will drop PH also and readjusted watering times.

Should medium be flushed 1 time per month?? if flushing good? nutrients are a mix of powders and water is that why you get salt built up? powder has to dry out once liquid evperatates?

Shit Nutrients?

it's keeps me up and driving me crazy

Add less nutrients..
No need to make things complicated.

The plants will only eat so much, figure out how low you can go and then just work it out from there.

Theres no way you need to feed them 1300ppm / 2.4 ec.
Cut the dosage in half and then work it out from there

How often you need to flush your medium depends on a several different factors. Any mineral nutrient, powdered or liquid can cause salt build up. If you are using more nutrient than the plants require, the excess is going to build up as salts in your medium. Plants also require different levels of nutrients for different stages of growth and you should be aiming for a certain level of nutrient strength to suit the stage of development. Many brands of nutrients have growth schedule charts that will reccomend an ec level for different stages of growth. If you are feeding your plants too much nutrients then they will require flushing more often. If you keep your nutrient strength in a good zone, you should only need to do a flush 2 or 3 times during a cycle. The best way to figure out when you need to flush is to keep an eye on your run off strength. I will generally flush if the ec of the run off has climbed up over 2.5 ec.

I dropped A and B from 100ML to 75ML now it's reading PH 6.2 and EC 1006 PPM this fill, should I drop it more next fill? this tent is in full flower stage?

During heavy flowering an ec of 2.0/1000ppm is right in the reccomended nutrient strength zone for coco

Awesome thanks bro!
