Nutrientburn?

Terp_Djinystarted grow question 2 years ago
I think one of the rootdiscs was very salty from the last grow. So that the plants have a little nutrientburn. The new growth is without any brown leaftips. The rinseout ph was about 6.3 and ec 0.6... can i do something more than rinse them with 10l pH-regulated water?

chlorosis with rusty tip buns ... looks more like a K-deficiency. 5.9pH shouldn't be an issue, but make sure it hasn't leaked lower. 6.3 is fine, though indicates potential of being higher if this is the runoff.. 400tds.. if on 500scale that is only .8ec. This is a very light feed. so, toxicity becomes less likely. i'd up it to 600-750 ppm ("500 scale" TDS equipment)... 120-140 N / 50 P / 200 K / 100+ CA / 80+ Mg / 100+ S -- the last three will vary a bit due to tap water too. you can see my basic ppm breakdown in any week of most of my diaries... i use a 720ppm at full strength. or 1.44 EC religiously get 10% runoff and toss it down drain or outside.. you should never have to flush a soilless grow if you are consistent at this. you will never have any buildup.. you won't have any pH issue unrelated to some odd microbial infestation etc etc... you may need slight adjustments at various stages of life cycle, but you should fertilize with every single irrigation.. this is the primary beneift of soilless grows... ondemand feeding and readily available nutes for fast growth and limited effort from plant. if not from north america, and possibly in NA too, --- https://www.perfectgrower.com/knowledge/knowledge-base/ec-to-ppm-conversion-chart/

@Djiny ph is too high should ideally be between 5.8-6.2 bring it down to get the best nutrient uptake availability

High bro, This is 100% nutrientburn! You can only solve this now by flushing. You can do this flushing by slowly pour water onto the top of the soil, allowing it to drain freely from the bottom of the pot. Pour slowly, so the water doesn't overflow from the top of the pot. Use approximately four times the pot's volume in water to flush the soil. For example, use 1 gallon of water for a 1 quart pot. After the flushing you need to let the soil (almost) dry out completely. And from there just start giving the nutrituens the same as the others because they are looking GOOOOD!!! 😋
