Cal mag or nutrient Burn

I have 3 Automatics. I made the mistake of planting the into BioBizz Allmix, which is pretty strong for Autos. Strawberry Gorilla and Aplle Strudel seem to be fine. My Orange sherbet not so much. Is this Cal/ Mag defficiency or nutrient burn?

HI bud. Fading of the leaves, oldest leaves affected heaviest. Tips clawed downwards. Nitrogen toxicity. Most likely brought on by watering habits. Watered too much, too often. Neglected PH and EC values. Salt builds up and the roots stop drinking. It's good you let the soil dry out. It's time to balance out the issue with a full watering, including 20% runoff. Dechlorinated water ph to 6.0-6.2. The natural ph of AllMix is 6.2 so best to have the runoff around there. Once you have the ph regulated she should bounce back in no longer than 7 days. Mind you, what is already damaged stays damaged. Next, your watering habits. You gotta learn to get this down asap. Water SLOWLY and thoroughly. If it takes 5L to completely moisten your soil, water her 2x 3L and wait 10minutes before giving the second 3L. You should have about 1L of runoff to test. Do NOT water again until the top 1.5-2cm of soil is dry. (3cm would be even better but it's debatable) Even if it takes 5 days for the soil to get to that point, wait. Your soil will be dry because your plant is drinking. Let your plant show you when she is thirsty. Hope this helps, even a little.

Certainly showing deficiency, whether that's from lack of nutrients or a pH/lockout issue that's for you to find out. If numbers are in range bump EC. If it happened fast that usually means it's a pH/uptake issue. Slower progression usually means actual lack of nute in feed

magnesium mostly, but i think you get all this mess, because you underwater. rethink how you water soil grows. your style brings salt build ups. i grew in even spice up all mix with worm castings, epsom salt, bacterial feeds and so on, still never had any issues ...

Hello Akira79, To me, it doesn't look like a nutrient burn. But I'm also not sure about a Cal/Mag deficiency. I can see that the leaves are curling down. How are you currently watering? Best regards Eggie420

might be ph issues. If the mix is strong and has a lot of feed in it its not likely deficient in it. Could also just be the plant. some are more senative.
