"Run Off" is when you over water and it drains out the bottom of the pot... or it can also just be drain to waste hydro... many times one must check the PH/PPM of the "run off" water to get a more accurate reading...

peace, free

It's called drip dick around here...

thanks for the prompt reply

I was sure thats what it meant - but couldnt get a straight answer when I asked in other peoples threadds.. thats what I get for hijacking


so a 10% run off is 1/10th of the water I put in the pot I was watering? (10 ltr pot = 1 litre run off = 10% runoff?)


thanks again

Yeah man. You don't gotta like sit there and measure it though. If it runs out slow and drips that's probably like 5% runoff.

Hang on sloopy, sloopy hang on...
