Always produce drain while using organic fertilizer?
trelornystarted grow question 1y ago
I think I made a big mistake in this very first grow, so here is the question: Should I always water enough to produce some drain? Even when using organic fertilizer?
Until now I did not have a single drain in the whole grow as I water ~10-15% of the pot volume.

I grow all organic in a living soil bed. No drain, never. When I used fabric pots I tried to avoid drain in General.
Keep it moist.
Just make sure to have a good amount of material for airation such as pumice, vermiculite or perlite in your soil.

Burnt tip deficiency?On every grow I see this same deficiency, it doesn’t appear on new growth. It normally appears on older leaves sometimes from the node right before the new one and lower on the plant. I’ve feed cal mag 5ml all the way through. I was thinking it might be sulfur but not sure.

A deficiency, a toxicity and a toxic-deficiency???Here's what I make of it (and PLEASE correct me where I am wrong!) :
The tips yellowing indicates, a nitrogen burn.
The burnt brown tip indicates, nitrogen burned to long 😂
The black spots indicate, a P or K issue (as the leaves are otherwise healthy green in color)
