I know runoff numbers in coco, especially pH, are generally erroneous, but my experience shows that my plants are at their best when those numbers are at least relatively close. For instance, 5.6-6.0 pH & 600-1600 ppm.
Perhaps my problem is letting the coco get too dry from time to time. I used to have problems with the coco getting too wet - fungus gnats, root rot, etc., but maybe I've gone too far the other direction. Build up a good root mass in veg, and then let the blumats continually replenish the nutes instead of the drip and dry down system I use now.
With blumats and drip clean you just don't have build up problems from your old nute regime?
