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

Yellow spots and singed edgesI’m using a 600w digital ballast and I’ve only had it on 250w but I upped it to 400w then 600w for about 18 hours but I’ve put it back to 250w after noticing these yellow spots and burnt edges :( I think it could be heat stress but from what I’ve been reading and seeing it doesn’6y ago

Leaves tips look burnedAny suggestion of how could make her look healthier? Tips look burnt and leave color is not great. Also my plant is very short, 25cm. I didn't feed her any nutrients so far, only water pH6.5. The soil (atami kilomix) was heavy fertilized with bat guano. Is she needing something?4y ago

All of my plants have started to burn yellow in colour when they switched to flower, they have also lost they lovely green colour and started to go lime. Too much nitrogren still in the soil? Or Just a deficiency? They have recently been fed 1ML fishmix and 2ML Bloom.Week 5

What could this be?What could this be? It's NL auto with a hydro set up in the transition phase. I believe it had nitrogen lock prior due to over feeding nutrients. I cut all the old leaves that had this and it keeps happening to leaves that we're healthy. Was much darker green and looks better nowLeaves. Tips - Burnt
