HELP! Nutrient lockout? Or underfed?

lOlympuslstarted grow question 4y ago

I can’t figure out if my plants have nutrient lockout or am I not feeding them enough? I Always ph the water, ppm around 275. Giving them a tiny bit of nutrients burned the leaf tips. They turn yellow in a few days in flower. Runoff was 1400 so I flushed making it worse overnight

You don't have a diary going for this grow so it's pretty hard for us to know what's going on... Off the top of my head, I'd tell you it looks like severe nitrogen toxicity which the flush should help with.... it will take some days to see if it's helped or not, though... you'll not get the green back into those leaves so watch the new growth... it should respond. Get a diary going, tell us what nutes you're giving in what amounts, how far away are your lights, all that good stuff - then we'll have a shot at helping! I'll check back to see if you've got one going and try to help...

Cual es la frecuencia de riego? Tienes temperaturas alta? Porque lo que pudo pasar es que estes regando muy seguido, y mucha cantidad de agua, y por el calor y poca humedad, el agua del riego se está evaporando y los nutrientes quedan en el sustrato y vuelves a regar con fertilizantes, y comienza un ciclo de nunca acabar y te quedan todos los nutrientes en el sustrato y ocurre un bloqueo, y eso podría explicar porque el agua de la escorrentía fue de 1400. Así podría ser un bloqueo de nutrientes. Sorry es lo máximo que puedo hacer por ti, espero darle solución a tu pregunta! Buenos humos!👌

Liquid Oxygen Would you all use this in your water when trying to give oxygen to the roots? I’m noticing some really dense, not drying up that quickly soil so it’s making me think that they can’t breath. I don’t know, just making sure every part of the plant is happy & healthy.

PH measuring for Organic Growers If I’m growing organically, do I measure my PH still? I heard that the PH up & down liquid isn’t organic & that organic growers should throw away there PH meter because the soil will adjust to what ever PH level I water them with. Is this true? I’m having a cal/mag deficiency.
