Sorry, still don't get it. No matter how many times or when you do it, if at each fertigation you do it to 20% runoff, the whole day will average 20% runoff. I read your post to indicate that you will be fertigating to 10-20% at each fertigation. Is that not the case?:pighug:
Perhaps and this is only a guess he's taking the sum total of his run off in a day. So fir a certain volume pot if he gets 20% run off but 2x a day that's 40% of the pot volume???
 
Little bit of a different take on light schedules for autos for those who have dimmers for their lights. Don't think I've seen this before
 
Fungus gnats are a pain. The larvae will feed on the baby roots. Take care of it before planting the new seed?
Do any of you guys 'cook' your media, the ones that use 'soil', for a period? I do that to fresh media especially. It comes from people saying they got it from new stuff.
I 'cook' my used media to just mainly get the roots eaten up by the microbes. I'll usually re-amend at the same time.

In a normal 18/6 day the goal is to achieve 20% TOTAL run-off from all fertigation by the end of the fertigation period. Not each time the pump turns on. I use 8 - 3 to 7 minute run times to achieve the 20% goal every day.

I have 6 Hugo rock wool cubes that hold ~1 gallon of nutrients so 6 gallons. If I fertigate them to 20% run-off in each Lights on cycle that is .2x6=1.2 gallons I will have 2 lights on cycles in each 24 hour day. Each light cycle will have 1.2 gallons of run-off 1.2+1.2 = 2.4 gallons or 6 divided by 2.4 = .40 or 40% in one 24 hour period. I don't want to have that much waste every day. My yard can only use so much.

In coco I've been watering 'til the runoff is 10-20% of the water used, not of the pot size. So if I feed 1/2 gallon of liquid into a 3-gallon pot, I need 6-12 oz of runoff (128 oz * 10% = 12.8 oz, or a beer-can full). I collect the runoff so I can see how much there is, and increase or decrease the next feed as needed. [DISCLAIMER: I'm still a noob]
