Grow Mediums Coco issue?

[BigD1128]

Happy holidays everyone! I am new to growing and using coco. I have a short stuff Blue Himalaya that is 2 weeks old. I have been feeding her small amounts of nutes since day 1. Right now she is being fed maxigrow at 275ppm and ph 5.8 she seems to be very healthy and growing strong. My issue is I tested the run off today and it was 6.8ph and 375ppm I am afraid this is very high for coco. Idk if this will be an issue or is it normal for coco? Should I lower ph even more so the runoff is lower? Any help would be really appreciated. I would like to correct this issue before it causes any problems. Thanks for everyone's help!

Merry Christmas Mr Big D. I have never checked the ph of the runoff, I always adjust the ph going in and don't worry about what comes out. Maybe I should be checking runoff too?

Merry Xmas to you as well! I never worried about run off either. I recently read something about checking your run off. Apparently if you check what goes in and compare to the run off you should be able to dial in exactly what your plants need. I will see if I can post what I found and will post back here

There is a way to test runoff a little more accurately it is in the infirmary. I would link it but I am on my phone. You just don't check your everyday waste it is not accurate.
