Run Off Or No Run Off? - Lesson 9

[@nathanquiter7273]

You absolutely opened a door for me. I've never heard it described like this before. Thank you!

[@dirigoelectric]

Well shit, then I should start growing them in swimming pools! I’ll have giant plants then! Thanks for telling me

[@stevero2581]

What commercial soil do you recommend for weed?

[@LorenzoRM85]

one of the best explained and short videos about how to water plants, thank you

[@tabularasa7775]

Indeed , over watering is frequency not amount you give but at the same time you don't ever want coco to go completely dry . Soil is ok for that but coco isn't. Coco is pretty much hydroponics

[@dirigoelectric]

Took me 3 grows to learn big pots were stupid, even though everyone told me that’s what I needed. They can’t dry out if the pot is too big. It also allows ec buildup.

[@johnjohson5360]

Could you elaborate on this?

[@dirigoelectric]

@@johnjohson5360 yes. The size of pot should be in proportion to the size plant you’re going to grow. Using 20 gallon pots on plants you only veg for a month is a waste.there are some charts out there. For us we veg about 40 days from rooted clone, so we use 5 gallon pots. Works very well. We feed daily.

[@EnriqueCruz-zs4zq]

U dumd they are the best plants get bigger but you need organics

[@jimmypage1969]

Underrated series.

[@sonnyman8746]

Ur the man. I love ur vids. Thanks for the help brother. I’m a old school grower back at it again with the new world technology

[@thedude5599]

This is outdated look up Athena feed schedules they do crop steering way more advanced then this. this is outdated information.

[@hipgroove68]

Great video's. How do I get my mesh pot to run off? Poke holes in them?

[@Your-Not-Him-1]

I planted strawberry cough in a gallon pot, she’s in week 4 of flower, I’ve been feeding her 1 bottle of pilot spring water everytime I see her get fully dry, she’s responds well to it, I don’t see no run off tho, but she’s still thriving

[@belindos91]

thanks for the videos can tell you have a passion for growing and teaching to grow plants!

[@magnumopus9631]

your 100% i let all plants to slight droop,i dont get dead roots,or rot,cuz of it,i top,so i get huge side roots cuz i let them dry,its not to desert,but a slight droop,you will get more roots,and longer,i had to after 40 days in veg take out of promix,and put into 20 gallon fabrics,just too much dense roots,so wet,and dry method is great,just run hands along edge,to fill in soil gaps so ya get a good watering

[@dominicariceaga4914]

Exactly what I needed to hear buddy!!thank you for the info.

[@NautilusNews]

I'm gonna grow a 100 foot plant. So.. 100 gallons right?

[@jeremytalbot177]

Very much. Always water to run off use 30% perlite.

[@patrey6797]

I like to think of growing the plant like a drag race. If you've ever seen a dragster standing at the line with ten thousand horsepower they can't apply the full amount of fuel but if you see it half track they're dumping so much fuel on it there's flame coming out the exhaust. So think of the plant is drinking like a baby when it's a seedling and eating like a 35 year old guy doing concrete work in flower You can do the wet-dry thing if you need enhance your root system in the media that you're using but I believe in weeks 4 5 and 6 to give it as much water as it'll take

[@agremen2294]

When you feed to drain ...You can feed less but feed every time! The plant get more and give you more yield! Btw she can stay total dry 4 days ...with out drooping :)

[@keithbrown9887]

Agremen when I say feed less do that mean nutes , if u feed less how would you hit target ppm stage goals

[@thcxlowlife9043]

I need help I have 5gal fabric pots been feeding a half gallon of water but not seeing any runoff?? I water every 3-4days when the pot feels light and looks dry.

[@sirgrim3905]

Ah now I get it thank you.

[@mikeaivaliotis4546]

I could understand that videao alot better than the other ones.Thanks for the info dude!😜👍

[@Crazyman1212]

If the top 2 inches of the soil is dry and the pot is light I water it. seems to work. I pH my runoff also but how important is this PPM measurement?

[@moparman7367]

What PPM's you put in is no indicator of whats going to come out but could help if you think overfeeding is an issue.Hope that helps a litlle.

[@riverdoe7669]

Ppm is very useful in coco say you feeding a 600 ppm your runoff 1400 ppm 500 scale per day that means it’s not eating all the food and salts left in the media you flush with light mix of food til you get in a area of your ppm your feeding matches the output it’s that simple keep it in the ranges and it’ll flourish

[@Crazyman1212]

@@riverdoe7669 I started feeding my plants every watering with flora liquid 2 part nutrients. 300ppm - 500ppm for veg and 600ppm - 1100ppm for flower( those measurements are not including the ppm of my tap water) . The only time I had an issue was when I went to above 1200ppm and got nutrient burns.

[@gl0be174]

i like this video straight to the point

[@magnumopus9631]

im using 20 gallon fabric i use big blue jug 12 plants should i go to runoff ?

[@Alan_Edwards]

So what do you do with the run off? I am using 2 gallon bags right now going to 5 gallon at some point. When I water and get runoff do I just leave it to be soaked up by the roots or dump it or recirculate it. I did not put any medium at the bottom of the bags and am using a 75/25 ration of coco coir to perlite. Thanks

[@lowery06]

dump it, pots left in the runoff usually causes lockout or roots dying! bugs too! i use the same rations u use 75/25 coco perlite...good shit!!!!!

[@Alan_Edwards]

I was thinking the same thing. I wish I would have purchased stiffer pans. The ones I have a flimsy plastic and a pain to dump. I'm ordering better ones tonight. Thanks for the reply man....appreciate it.

[@lowery06]

NO PROBLEM! wish you nothing but the best!!! #growerslove!

[@matthewyeazel2288]

CAN YOU PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION - VERY IMPORTANT: is it okay to leave a small amount of water in the run off tray? I am using 5 gallon fabric pots, which I tested my run off and it is about 6.2PH

[@michaelgreer8659]

I have my pots on stands and shop vac it out. Excessive moisture can cause high humidity and mold.

[@tabularasa7775]

I wouldn't let it sit for the pathogen/pest aspect and also it may re absorb back into the medium/roots . I use a mini £12 water pump for a standard drill connection with 2 hoses on each end . Push the drill trigger and it sucks it out into a bottle 👍

[@professorfarms9518]

good info in your vids ! keep up the good work

THANK U... PHEW.. TIRED OF THINKIN... 🤔😥😤 ANYBODY KNOWLEDGABLE PLEASE REPLY SOON.

[@riverdoe7669]

No man over thinking get some coco general hydroponics or Athena or something mix follow the chart test runoff from input to output in the media if your input is 600 ppm output 1200 water more with runoff til you get desired range soil is even easier lol except let if fully dry and feed water water feed simple stuf don’t over think to much

[@shanefoster5305]

Not for coco grows. Drying out causes salt build up and will damage roots because coco shrinks when it dries out.

[@mancavetheater1240]

I can dig it because coco should be watered once a day or every other day because it soaks up nutrients and has no nutrients already like soil does.

[@MidgarZoloms]

When you have run off and you let it do it's thing how fast should the soil be drying out? I'm having low humidity 30% with lights and 40% @ night and my soil is pretty dry next day

[@thedude5599]

your VPD is wacked

[@tabularasa7775]

30 - 40% rh is too low for any stage , including flower . Lower your temps or humidify . Plus 1 on the above VPD reference .

[@fromthe6kid943]

Yea but what about in coco ? Some people let it dry out most people dont letthe coco dry out.what the difference for roots

[@keithbrown9887]

Right, because I was thinking not to get run off on one feed, but now I understand about the salt build up but if I feed feed water why worry about build up

[@firehawk346]

Sounds like nutrient lock to me. I learned the have way with coco. I ruined 2 harvest. Coco needs to be watered everyday.

[@keithbrown9887]

Jayson Smith so I feed feed water without any dry days. Repeat my days

[@rmanuel555]

I'd flush the plant really good to get all the salts out high ppm in run off is a bad sigh it ppm is lower then when it goes in then the plant is doing as it should

[@deathymckill9707]

Great video man, thanks!

[@SetTheCurve]

What we really want is to over feed so we need to wash out excess fertilizer. Roots reach for water? What about hydro? Hmm

[@poultryboy1984]

If your watering a soiless medium only once a day with run off you might as well be growing in dirt.

[@choppayoung4119]

are you Polish my friend

[@thedude5599]

He is right and wrong, modern techniques use crop steering nowadays. We now use terminology such as vegative steering and generative steering. Veg steering we want smaller dry downs and generative steeering bigger dry downs. Look Athena feed charts they can explain this better. This is outdated info modern growers now have vey strick dry back ratios.

[@marcusblackfellow2850]

Bro science alert.

[@serginho2535]

I feed my plants every 24hrs and I run off every time. I grow in 45% coco, 45% soil and 10% pearlite
