here is a tip who looks interesting : Checking the nutrient levels within your coir
Coir holds onto nutrients more so than other hydroponic growing media and just checking the run-off does not always give an accurate picture of the nutrient strength in the coir. The procedure below is known as a 1:1.5 extraction, and can be used to give a more accurate representation of what is occurring in the coir:
Take a 250ml measuring jug and fill it with 150ml of de-ionised or reverse osmosis water.
Remove small samples of coir from as many places as possible in the slab/pots.
Add the coir to the water until it reaches the 250ml mark.
Mix and allow it to settle for at least two hours.
