Default runoff with organics
I have a question about runoff and drainage

I grow with LC'soilless mix #1 ( i use 20%worm casts,10% peatmoss ,70% coco mix with 2 tablespoon dolomite lime for per gal.) , but is it possible to just water without any runoff and just moistening the medium? Or do I have to have 20-30% runoff like in coco and canna nutes?

If I go with coir in LCs mix, would I run into problems without running it off? I have a fear that I will be flushing nutes away if I let it runoff 30% every watering.

thanks.

CharlesWeedMore..... Let is run off. It's the only way to truly ensure, you moisten the entire medium and provide nutes/water to all the roots.

Hope this helps....
Keep it Real...Organic.....

coco like runoff and heavy watering, i have ruffly the same mix with maybe some more perlite and vermiculite but i water once a day with 20-30 percent runoff and they love it, u just need a little more nutes than soil and a little less than a plain hydro medium
