Phatesh: Can I ask why you decided to not go coco?? Thank you for your insight and participation!

Rusty: Got it now. Thanks for the disertation. That answered every question I had on feeding. So my thinking with feeding once a week is to completely flush with the watering preceeding the feeding. That way all the old crap is out, if there was any left. Then next watering, add nutes. The one thing I read is that you can't over water coco with correct drainage.

I'll still post some pics later tonight just so everyone can see what's going on.

Well the cloud is lifting and it's all starting to make sense now. Shit, after I got a 1400 PPM runoff after a 600PPM intake...it all started to make sense there. Everything else I've learned from here just lets me know I've been compounding the issue this whole time.

Thanks again Rusty! I've been following yours, Dutch's, and Stinkys posts a lot and usually always refer to you desert growing guide you posted. As I live in the same area, it's been an invaluable tool.
