Defficiency? 1st grow

My brother looked at your plant... And said "chelation effect". He didn't know your plant was flushed. What do you think that says about what flushing does? Chelation means, clearing....so, the flushing depleted a lot of nutrients the plant needed, even if it potentially lowered another excess. Trading 1 excess for 10 deficiencies is a shit idea. Which is why I often bitch about people saying "flush" so easily. It is often better to firstly consider ratios, balance, and/or counter effects, but a lot of that takes a while to learn (I mean I'm a noob). Healthy plants and soil don't need flushing. Shit, they practically are flush. Most plants growing tend to be mostly healthy, with a minor problem here and there, perhaps one specific problem that kept on being magnified for whatever reason. Your plant was generally doing okay, right? So then, when you "attack" that one problem, by doing something that affects EVERY OTHER aspect of the plant, that's fucking stupid, most often. And I don't mean to say that to be rude, I mean to say, people often give and repeat terrible advice. Coz in the case of soil, the soil would be such that you almost only water. But I understand, that is very tricky to achieve, and people use their commercial mixes and mediums which are very "light", so are easily depleted, changes are magnified, etc. I mean, if you throw a little bit of acid at a wall, it's not gonna do much, throw it at a sponge though... So if you know how to address specific issues and identify or know some about it before it is a significant issue, rather than reverting to general things like flushing, you'll do better.
