Did you read what you wrote before you posted it?
I remember reading something about that concept in this book:
.l
In a perfect world your method might apply, but in this particular instance the OP has 1 plant that is showing signs of deficiency, not an entire room.
Learning exactly what the deficiency is for that 1 plant and exactly what is required to resolve and correct it may very likely save the entire crop, if that 1 plant is merely showing the indications ahead of the other plants.
Any experienced grower knows that if everything else in the room is constant and 1 plant deviates, it is usually an early indication that something is likely effecting the other plants as well. They just aren't showing it yet.
Now I won't argue with your assessment further. But I will say that I have diagnosed hundreds of plant problems, many for members here and nobody has ever came back and said my recommendations failed to resolve the problems. Given my track record and the sheer idiocy of your contributions, I will stick with my experience for now.
exactly what i have found, my old stinky pinky x ecsd did this and so does the crosses i made from her, doesent effect the buds at all in my case, all grown in canna coco with canna nutes, ph 5.8 to 6.2If its only one plant showing symptoms i would suggest it may be a genetic trait. It may be a little more sensitive to the nutes being a little hot.
What a load of bullshit.
In "most cases" it DOES matter...
Identifying the exact deficiency and cause of lockout are imperative to resolving the issue. To say that it's a stupid way of doing it may provoke some colorful replies.
In fact Runoff, or RO Ph will tell nothing about a plant that is locked out or having uptake issues as the soil is out of balance and nutrients aren't being used properly.
Overall temperature is somewhat relevant since the issue is localized on one plant. Which indicates room location, lighting, spot temperature, or poor ventilation/circulation in spots.
