While I wait for new pH meter give less liquid ferts (to avoid pH problems) start from 7.3 then don't know where it goes prob somewhere between 6.6/6.

Hi! Lower leaves=N def caused by flush prev week (due to build up), crispy yellow tips=P def? pH pen dead, watering blind, that's the main problem, using pH strips test.... 🤮 EC in 1.5 runout 1.9. Using Solid+liquid ferts (low dosage rn). Still stretching, looks healthy. Agree?

Tips showing osmotic stress, yellowing. High ec. 1.9 is.just over the recommended 1.8. Tip to Remember for flush: ammoniacal nitrogen nh4+ does not readily leech from soil. Whereas nitrogen as no3- and no2- is highly mobile in soil and will leech readily. If you have over 20% of total Nitrogen as ammoniacal then you will have problems in your medium, this can creaye a high proportion of ammoniacal nitrogen (above 20% of total nitrogen) which will lead to uptake problems with other cations, particularly potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+). This is primarily due to the increased release of H+ ions during ammonium (NH4+) uptake, which can lower the pH of the growing medium and inhibit the uptake of other positively charged cations. As long as she is within 6.2 and 7.0 ph and under 1.8 I'd keep plodding on a little sideburns are to be expected when learning. She looks vibrant and healthy just keep those.metrics within range she should even out ok.
