Just one plant only, strange. On the first Purple Haze I grew I was giving her a 20% run off but when I eventually checked the ppm of the runoff it was about 3000. Since then I give all my pyramids at least 100% run off usually more. Lately I've been dipping the plugs into the bucket because it is easier, but even then I'll still hold her over a bucket and pour a few more jugs through to flush any salt build up. Is this necessary, I do not know. I started out letting the pyramids get fairly but not so much now, the only thing I can come up with is maybe there's some pH imbalance deep in the plug that perhaps flushing will help. That is the good think about this plug you can take it in the bath and put a hose on her.
