Any experienced grower that can shine a light on this? If this is a deficiency, of what? I last time irrigated 3 days ago with ph adjusted water and Rhizotonic. The EC runoff is high (4) as the soil holds 20% garden compost. This is week 6 of vegetation. Sister looks fine.

Hi. Not any experienced grower. But I have dealt with very high rich compost and ruined my tangerine dream, have a look. It's still early 2 fix. I have all my fixes I did. Only reason why it looks so bad, is cause u didn't see the early warning signs, or did and tried fixing with lower nutes. When using compost only use root stim and micros to help nute uptake. Then after a few wks my plants can take 2000ppm not a bother without showing signs and any nute burn. Even my ruined tangerine dream has started taking nutes and she was worse than yours, by some ways. Any more questions on how I fixed hit me up with a pm. Oh, start doing flushes now. Flood that girl twice a day with normal distilled PH water, no tap water as too much chlorine is never good. Happy growing

When the tips of the plant bend down like that, it means their is to much nitrogen in the mix. This is the first sign of it, the leaves will also get dark green and become more brittle. Have to lower your nitrogen for a bit and keep it in check with the plants need. Best Of Luck.

Oh, and I've biocanna Rhiz to, if you are just mixing that with water and not any ph perfect nutes it drives the PH up between 10-11.5 says so on the side of the bottle, that and I've checked 4ml/l made my PH go up to 11.3 with not a whole lot of EC change think it was 550 ppm or something.

Benze is right. ec way to high. if your soil is very airy (drains well) I would run some ph water through to lower that ec by about half. If it doesn't drain well, then you may just have to water with no food, and hope for the best.

Nute burn from soil being "too hot" with too much organic matter or compost that is too green still. Id bet its that. And a run of in the 2's to 3's is high...but 4? Cant say ive seen that before. Your gonna need someone more experienced at testing organic run off than I, I make sure i let my compost sit for a few weeks to a month in the soil before I plant just to let it settle a bit more to avoid this. But as long as you dont add any nutes and just use plain water id say you will be ok as the plants use it up. just dont add more for a few weeks ok.
