Ok, that makes sense, the plant used all the nutrients so there is nothing left to flush out....gotcha UB your a knowledgeable person in horticulture that's for sure. What about to recycle the medium? Should the medium (coco) be flush to clean it for another use?

Thanks again,

I recycle but only to a veg garden. By the time you're harvesting there's no telling what kind of fungus gnat larvae, eggs, and such are in that soil. I don't do coir. It's not worth the expense as I buy the parts in bulk and mix my own.

So does it matter what nutrients YA use? Sounds like all the main lines just keep adding more stuff so you buy it, thinking it'll make the yeild double or something. I was reading that lumens have nothing to do with growth, it's more about the PAR that matters. Do you grow outside of indoors? Just curious as if you are outdoors, the lights are not really your fortay. Back a few years ago I was on this forum under another name and you were on it, remembered the advise you gave back then and it has helped sinse.

If you have to recycle then be safe, sanitize the soil with heat first.

I only grow outdoors. It's too easy peasy.

That's where the flower belongs! The great outdoors! Full year or just one harvest a year? Must have a green house or something rad to keep YA going, What strains are you going right now?

Yea I read 400 degrees Fahrenheit is the temp that kils anything that could be bad. Want to go veganic, they are calling it, where just water is added to a mix that is custom. I have the correct amendments, going to take some trial and error so I have a 5 gal a 1 gal and a solo clone going now in a medium I made to see if it's good enought for the plant, Want quality. Quality is what it's all about!!!!

UB, for the first time Seeing what looks like P def. Purple spots and twisting. Should flush or go with a guano tea? Thinking flush first then stabilize, if that doesn't work add the guano tea.... Wanna start flower and can't witha P def, Need the P to create the flowers to their ma potential. It's not super bad but bad enough to ask for help!!!

Pce✌

h and G. Used before and never had any problem, seeing what looks like a P def and some burn, have the purple spots and browning around the edges of even newer growth. Very strange......n ver had this issue before, was thinking just water for a bit to stabilize then if need be do a guano tea to get some P in there before 12/12.

Really don't know what's. Up heree.....genetics...... Clones o clones...... Miss the seeds,,,,

What do you think would be the best solution so there is no more damage done?

Thanks UB

Where on the plant are the tips of leafes brown? Top bottom or lower foilage? That would help determine the issue.
