Here's a stupid question from a stupid person.
Im growing hydro. bubbleponics. PH kept close to 6.
So I got a couple grows under my belt. The plants have all survived but there have been some low points. One major low point I consistently run into is nutrient burn. It seems like no matter how slowly I add nutes, it burns my plants which in turn pisses me off.
I have been using CalMag, Hygrozyme, and GH nutes. Right now, Im thinking that if I switch to Fox Farm, the buds are obviously going to taste better, but Im more concerned with reducing nute burn.
I have been easing into the nutes. Usually I go from around 200 with just CalMag and Hygrozyme for a week. Then add the GH nutes and up to 400-500. And then theres nute burn. Its not devastating burn, but any nute burn is bad news. Maybe this is too high of a jump in PPM?
Im stongly considering not using GH nutes anymore. Organic is really the way to go, or so Ive heard. Is it harder to burn your plants with organic nutes like fox farm? Is going organic going to solve the nute burn nightmare. Or is it me?
Thanks in advance
