sulfur burn
So I come home today from work and the water solution STINKS of sulfur and the ppm went UP by 200-300 ppm. Because of this I assume I burnt her with too much sulfur, which probably stems from the fact that she gets epsom salt at every cleaning and nutrient refill, on top of the sulfur in the big bud nutrient, on top of the sulfur in another nutrient. Immediately I drained out the bad sulfur ridden water solution and mixed a fresh batch with just tap water pH balanced to 5.4. This new batch has a ppm reading of 84, so I know she cant get burnt from it. Did the ppm go up and stunk of sulfur because she was somehow kicking the sulfur back into the solution due to being burnt by it? How long should I keep her in the nutrient-less solution? She is about to begin week 5 of flowering and I planned on stopping nutrients around week 6 or 7, so will it decrease my yield if I just keep her in pH balanced plain water for the rest of the grow? What should I do now besides keep a close eye and hope for the best? I feel like I am slowly killing her and it would suck if I wasted 13 weeks to have her die on me right before the end because of my own ignorance. Mostly I am wondering when, if ever, I should give her nutrients again. How long will it take before I notice if it is getting worse or getting better? Obviously the leaves that are already burnt wont survive, and she wont be making any more new leaves, so she has to get the nutrients to produce the buds from somewhere. Anyways thanks for all the advice and I really hope she makes it through this.
