do you check the ppm of your run off?

so iv started checking my coco's run off and im seeing 3.4 EC which is ofc very high, i started looking all over rollitup about checking your run off and the majority are sayin they dont and if theres no problems then dont change anything

surely this is wrong... how could having your coco at around 2.5+ EC be good, wont this cause a nute burn and then a lock out? or will it only nute burn? (im not seeing nute burn on my plants but there are yellow leaves so there must be a lockout - as like i mentioned there are plenty of nutes in the coco runoff - canna A and B mostly)

just curious on peoples opinions but im going to start trying to keep my run off at 1.6ish EC for flower and 1EC for veg.... probs going to have to do a 1 nute feed then 2 plain water feeds pattern to achieve this thou, anyone else do the same?

measuring your runoff tells you whats in your soil for amount of salts...so I personally wouldn't do it unless I noticed something gone eyrie

the reason i started to check my run off is because when i first started i used only 1 basic veg nute and 1 basic flower nute, i had no PPM or PH meter yet my plants seemed to be more green than all my recent ones, with all my recent ones i invest more into different kinds of nutes and stopped feeding plain water.... which i can clearly see is a bad idea as im getting aloud of nute build up

:O.... by salts do you mean the remaining bits the used nutrients have left behind?

:O any one else?
