mcflowanswered grow question a year ago Determining whether your plants are experiencing nutrient deficiency or light burn involves considering various factors. Here are a few insights:
Nutrient Deficiency:
A pH level of 6 for both the nutrient solution and runoff is generally within an acceptable range for many plants.
Look for specific signs of nutrient deficiencies, such as yellowing leaves, discoloration, or unusual patterns. Each nutrient deficiency presents distinct symptoms.
Light Burn:
Lowering the lights is a good step, but it may take some time for you to see changes in the plant's condition.
Signs of light burn include bleaching or yellowing of the upper leaves, especially those closest to the light source.
Coco vs. Soil:
Plants in different growing media may exhibit variations in nutrient uptake and requirements. Coco coir tends to require more frequent nutrient applications compared to soil.
Adjustments:
If you've recently made changes to your feeding regimen or light intensity, it might take a bit of time for the plants to respond.
Keep monitoring the plants for any new developments.
