If I burn my plants a little in coco should I feed light or flush?

[phattybudz]

So I'm using H&G nutrients (fed them at 7ml/gallon and they're at various stages of veg,) and I've got some nutrient burn showing on my tips as yellow/charred brown... and now they need water. Do I give them lighter food or just ph'd water?

yeah that's a bit high as i run them 4-6ml depending + adds (i appx at 1ml/gal = 120ppm). veg i'm shooting for 700-800 & guessing your 7ml will be 840, not counting the water & any add's...

i never flush plane water until final weeks as this will throw your chemistry off with just one application. would recommend going a 450ppm solution until your run-off falls back into the range you desire, then as normal.

Peace.

Guess I"m unfamiliar with the throw of the chemistry deal..

I would say yes... ph at around 5.5-5.8 and give em a clear dose.... Or even put in 1 mil per gallon..

I don't use House n Garden.. I'm a canna user.. but have used it for half a dozen years now and never had a problem giving plain water feedings in the middle of my growing and budding cycle..

Good luck

yea 1ml per gall with phed water will be good

your plants are burnt, their already thrown off, id flush heavy once, water only the next day and the third day feed very lightly.

I just went thru that here. t

give it a nice enzime rinse, they will eat up the non used nutrients in the coco, so they dont build up.

Feed light until runoff, this should displace the hot solution, essentially a flush without "wiping the slate clean" as it were.

this is good to read

I feed every 3rd or 4th watering plain ph'd water. Never had any problems with chemistry. I do it to help prevent salt build up in the coco, and i feel it works well.

Absolutely!
They guys at Canna clued me to that.
I think they still have some research papers on the subject at their web site.

Sick thanks all... I just fed light once then back to "normal" as H&G recommend and the burning tips ceased.
