    potasium def or nitrogen toxicity

    All growth is stopped and a lot of leaves and DEAD. Confession time. I only flushed with equal amounts of water to soil. Not 2 to 3 times like I was advised. Is 300 pmm still too high? Does it sound like my ph is still too low. I'm just testing my water drainage with an aquarium water tester...

    potasium def or nitrogen toxicity

    The tds of the rainage went down to 300 ppm. What level is bad? I've heard 1.5 is the most you can tolerate but that doesn't sound fiesable. Is that in ppm? Plus i think the flush flushed my nutes out and im seeing n def. i mixed in some new mg soil to supplement it (I have 2 cb ft left), I'm...

    I was afraidthe flush had compacted the soil by displacing the air. So I started mixing it and I found mold. It's drying out and dyign now. Any big deal?

    Ok I have a tds meter. The distilled water goes in 2ppm and comes out over 900 pmm with a ph 6.0. Commencing flush on 1 plant.

    I got some distilled water and put in a 1/2 gal before it came out the bottom 6.0 ph. I'll see if the indoor garden store will test the ec until I can a meter.

    I can bend the branches 90 deg. without it breaking. So I have all the symptoms of k def but brittle branches, sounds like a ph problem more? or less?

    Not the branches. They are soft. They would be brittle with k def wouldn't they? Leaves are crispy though.

    potasium def or nitrogen toxicity

    Thanks I've seen this. Great chart. It's what lead me to think potasium def. I think rollitup moble doesn't give the option to post pics. Thank you all for your knowledge. Does ph problems look like potasium def and nitrogen tox?

    potasium def or nitrogen toxicity

    Ok thank you. I'll try to get pictures soon. I might have to go to work with thumb drive with pictures of pot plants and use the computer in final inspection to post them. I've been researching all def and abundaces. It looks like potasium def, but the sympoms are the same as nitrogen toxicity...

    potasium def or nitrogen toxicity

    Thank you very much. I have ph test. I'll test water coming out the bottom of the pot. Question, should I flush the soil now, or if i need to adjust the ec or ph. Looks like ec meters go for 50 or so right? How about distilled water? Maybe after flush with di or ro water? I was worried about...

    potasium def or nitrogen toxicity

    I know. But all I'm really asking is if red stems can indicate nitrogen toxcity. I've never heard of that before but its most likely. The only enternet I have is my phone. Not savy.

    potasium def or nitrogen toxicity

    My tallest plant and my newest both look sick. I used mericle grow potting mix, I've heard the stigma about it. My tap water is 6.8 ph I. Just use a brita filter and let the filter water for 24 hrs. I use a vick voparizer to keep the air moist. My 1st grew 13" tall and stopped. My 2nd is...
