Been feeding organically but believe I have some nute burn. PH was a little low(6.0) and I thought some lockout was occurring. So I flushed and ph is back to 6.5, which is good. I thought I had ph'd the water and maybe I had but it was still low. But, the leaf tips are showing some signs of nute burn also. But now that I flushed enough to get ph back to 6.5 shouldn't that also be enough to flush out the excess nutes that might have been burning? I flushed about 2 gallons water per gallon soil. It's extremely difficult to get a lot of water to my site cause it's a few miles from my house so 2 gallons water per gallon soil was an accomplishment. I haven't fed for about 5 days and was going to feed again- will go easier this time. I also have a couple of those growth tips that are crumpled, twisted and stuck together like they are glued... any idea what that is a sign of? I might try putting water/nutes in at 6.8-7.0 if the soil is pulling ph down. I'm pretty sure I was putting nutes in at around 6.5 and did a run off only to find it was definitely 6.0, maybe a tad lower but definitely not above 6.0.
Another contribution to the city? Leaves stuck together and sticky? Sounds like a bug trying to make home? What you got them in? Pellitized dolomite lime sprinkled on top soil will raise your ph. about a cup. spread it out and water w/o nutes. You got nute burn already, so no need for more . gl alex
