Dealing with Nutrient Burn and Salt Build-Up

Cyborg420started grow question 2y 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

Leave tips brightening Hi, I noticed the tips of leaves on younger parts are turning brighter, one tip already turned brownish. Is it because of nutrient burn? Issue can be seen in the video in my diary "26 Day - 22.1.2023": https://growdiaries.com/diaries/160969-grow-journal-by-gunigugu Thank you!

Plant getting lighter — deficiency or excess?Plant getting lighter overall. Thought it was N deficiency. Since N is mobile, expect older leaves to fade first. But its more the top/whole plant. Using Floragard Grow Mix w/ Greenhouse Feeding Bio Grow (1/3 dose due to pre-fertilized soil). Bloom fertilizer was added yesterday.
