GreenBeard Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Evening all, I need some assistance please. Hope I remember everything. The leaves on my plants are changing, tips are gong yellow, some curl down, only one plants so far, then the edges start to die. Im using nutriplex Feeding with ph6.2 water Nutes is added to water then ph correction is done. Soil mix ph is 6.2 - 6.5 Tested with soil meter. Moistre of all pots differ. They all receive about 1l feedding every 4 to every 5th day. I use about 8-10ml per litre of water. It is bore hole water. As im typing this im thinking maybe nutrient burn? Please let me know if you guys can help. Thank u very much... Ps. My first grow Sent from my ALE-L21 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Your plants look hungry to me. Definitely not nute burn. Magnesium def more like likely. Lower the PH you feed with to 5.8... also make sure your ph meter is calibrated... I reckon its PH Are you getting runoff when you water and are you drenching your whole medium when you feed? Its important to have runoff so excess salts get "washed" out of the medium. Build up of salts will also cause big PH problems. If you have a ppm meter check the ppm of your runoff. If the runoff ppm is way higher than the ppm you feed with then you have a build up of salts and you'll need to flush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ALE-L21 using Tapatalk Think ill start with the flush with just 5.8 ph water and only feed nutes again with next feeding when soil is tad more dry.

GreenBeard Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hi,just want to make sure do i flush with clean water, then add nutes after or just clean water and only add nutes with next feeding?

grunterfish Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 @green beard what medium are you using ? From what you wrote u using a soil mix ? Nutriplex is for hydo or an inert medium like cocopeat. Sent from my E5303 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
