Grow QuestionsDealing with Nutrient Burn and Salt Build-Up

Dealing with Nutrient Burn and Salt Build-Up

Cyborg420started grow question a year ago

I've observed salt build-up and nutrient burn in my plants recently. I've taken action by flushing and removing 60% of the affected leaves. Now, I'm considering whether to remove the remaining affected leaves and when to proceed with top dressing. Please advise.

In my view enough removing leaves, she started blooming, she needs the leaves, new leaves wouldn't grow, and is an auto try not to stress her too much. For feeding cut the dose so you won't have nuts burn 🍻

Para darse cuenta cuando volver a fertilizar mida el ec del drenaje de su maceta si le de por debajo de 1.2 ya puede volver a fertilizar, de lo contrario siga regando con agua sola. Su planta se ve saludable no está tan mal

Week 8 (4 weeks into flowering) - Possible Nitrogen / Cal-Mag issue?Plants show signs of what i assume to be a deficiency. Stopped feeding nitrogen Week 7 according to schedule. Symptoms are not on every leaf but some the upper foliage. Yellowing, burnt tips and rusty spots. My guess is lack of Cal-Mag & Nitrogen. Is my guess correct?

First Grow Help And Feedback Hello Grower, OG Kush Flower Day 24: Lollipopped and defoliated 10 days ago. Can/should I defoliate again? The buds seem like they could get more light. Also, I noticed some sprinkles on the top leaves—could this be from too much P/K? Any tips and general feedback are welcome!

Leaves burned after spraying a cocktail To repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects.
