I do have to ask, what do you mean by flushing? There seem to be different thoughts on flushing. In your 15L pots, how many liters do you run through it?

By flushing i mean i did not use nuts.
They got between 3 & 4 liter per pot when i meant flushing.

When i water normally it's always 2 liter per pot.

I still haven't fed them after that tho, still hesitating

For some reason the link won't work but look at (a few things I learned growing coco dtw) in the coco section. H3ad goes coco is a good one too.
Then continue in some of the other coco threads the coco trees one is good also. After that you should have a firm grasp on coco. Also look at the coco chemistry one which will talk about the cat ion exchange of coco and how to charge and keep your coco with consistent nutrient delivery to your plants. You are growing Hydro so you need to think about it like that. Good luck.

I think it may be overwatering. The curled up leaves look like it. Your pots should feel really light before you water.

As far as those EC's being higher in runoff... you need less ferts as everybody has mentioned.

And also always calibrate your meters often. I do mine once a week.

Lastly if you store nutrient put an air stone in it.

Flushing is when you dump 2-3x pot size. That's why nothing is really changing. You are trying to flush out all the excess. 15L pot needs 30-45L of water to flush properly. Also don't ever do straight water, you will throw off your caution banks. Cut nutes down to a quarter of what you have been currently feeding them. Once you get ec and ph coming out the same as what's going in then try a Ec of maybe 1.0 or so

Over watering young plants in coco will cause nitrogen lockout, and cause the plant to have a very wimpy root system. I let the surface get a little dry before watering. By the time they go into flower they will need to be watered twice a day, and almost impossible to over water at that point, unless you have been over watering throughout veg. That is why air pots and smart pots are prefered. They help it dry out quicker and prevent root circling, by air pruning the roots.

I've already read a lot through that forum, but you're right, i need to get back to it.
The hardest thing for me is to learn/understand something new in english which isn't my native language, typing it and learning something new in the language is an entire different story.

when i read how many times people water their plants i'd say it's impossible, it's more likely i didn't water them enough :(

the pots are always light when i feed them, maybe a bit too light..

I fed them before bedtime yesterday @ 1.0ec.

The pens are working well so far, whenever i have a doubt i just test them in tapwater which in know is always 6.7ph.
I always thouroughly clean them after use, even if i need them again 2min later

I never store nuts since they don't last more than 24h after touching water.
