if i could go back and get 1 piece of valuable info at the start when growing its feed your plants to run off i know you may feel its a waste of food but if you keep it up your plants will love you for it also once your pot seems a little light start with the 800 to a 1 litre and just feed as needed after that . and always make sure to keep your ph in checkThanks for the quick reply pal. So with the pot I’m using, I know that from bone dry it can hold 600ml of water. Last week, watering once a day 800ml getting 300ml runoff. At the time I thought I’d better start watering twice a day because it was close to the mark on dryness.
So the last 6 days I’ve been giving her 500ml every 12 hours but I’ve been getting 300 - 350ml runoff. So her water intake has dropped right down and the water takes ages to drain through the pot. I thought with coco, more runoff the better to flush excess salts away, which I’ve been keen to do as I’m feeding at full strength.
I will let her dry out another 12-24 hours then give her a litre and go back to once a day
