Your EC is a full point above inflow.

Typically the steps to lower runoff EC in high-frequency coco fertigation is like this:

1 - increase the number of fertigation events
2 - keep fertigation events the same but increase the amount of runoff at each event
3 - lower inflow EC

If number 1 doesn't lower the EC (or it isn't practical to increase the number of fertigation events), then number 2 should be applied. If number 2 doesn't lower EC, then number 3 should be applied.

In your case, though, you're a full point above inflow. While a flushing agent will flush out the salts quickly with less work, generally it's best to just flush with your normal feed until the runoff reads the same as the inflow number and then resume your normal fertigating using #2 to keep the issue corrected.

If that is going to take too much feed (usually 3-5x the volume of the pot), then you can do it with half the EC of your normal feed and that will bring it down with far less volume.

Being that your plants don't look terrible, then you can just increase the runoff substantially and it should lower down in a few days. Just be prepared to do a feed flush if it gets worse instead.

Awesome! Thanks for the detailed response, no questions. Yea I remembered your name correctly, ec121 giving ec 101 advice lol. Youve helped a lot, thanks!

I already upped from 4x to 8x a day, matching the rest if the garden in case that still works as its not horribly smaller than one gallon being a one litre pot.

Have you ever grown coco dtw in a solo cup? Its hell lol I think drop that sound was implying it still gets toxic even with low ec like .8 ec. Im at 1.8-1.9ec.

Ive added more runoff too I just didnt care for this tent or clones it was to learn bubble but became more significant than that. Its to find new genetics, I just got porto leche and banana candy krush, Im beyond stoked to run them in this lovely tent!
