The animosity I was referring too doesn't really concern the topics but the manner in which you approach them. Whatever though, perhaps I have an overly sensitive animosity detector.
I guess I misspoke. I used "salt build up" where I probably should have said nutrient imbalance or incorrect ratio of nutrients in the reservoir. Is my mistake using the word "salt" instead of something more encompassing?
I don't know. Thought I made that clear.
Most of your post seem like some kind of quiz so you can berate me when I answer unsatisfactorily, but what the hey I'm game. By lock-up (should have said lock-out) I meant nonavailability of a particular element due to incorrect pH. By toxicity I meant an overabundance of a particular element or compound that would have an adverse effect on the plants health.
I've encountered some spotting and necrosis, early leaf drop in flower with some strains when I or the grower did not feed to runoff.
I'd imagine yes approximately.
I've looked at a bit of that thread a few months back, very interesting design and LOTS of info in there. I will definitely do some re-reading/catching up on it. Especially now that I feel like an idiot for not being able to answer your specific questions about retention/flushing of particular compounds. I hope you don't get the impression that I don't appreciate and encourage input. I think I mentioned that just a few posts in.
The intent of the original post was not to educate you, delta9 or any other experienced grower. The intent was not to start a lively discussion about rhizospheric interactions. That wouldn't be a bad thing at all, there is definitely a place for it and I enjoy reading those types of conversations very much, even if I don't always retain 100%. I don't participate in that type of conversation because I'm not yet qualified to.
What I am qualified to do is help people grow cannabis. That was the point of this thread, to provide a novice with a place to start. I was going for clear and concise, not comprehensive.
