Thank you Mr. GDB. More than happy if Im actually able to help a brother out.
At least one easy to explain would be that when excess salts from your fertilizers builds up in your medium,in this case soil.
Bottled concentrated mixes tends to have low pH usually between 3.5-6 and slowly acid excessive salts lower your medium pH value. We know that soil buffers it itself but when pH gets too low that makes roots unanble to absorb certain macro nutrients. Potassium (K) is for example one of them. And this chart below presents ideal soil pH value ranges and when something gets locked out:
(see how this chart presents that Potassium availability starts to decrease 6pH and lower)
pH fluctuations aint maybe the correct one to describe it. I’d say it could be acid soil which causes nutrient lockouts.
Yup thats definitely worth of a try since youve flipped them! When buds starts to form thats usually good point to start feeding PK boosters.
And for your current situation it might help, but can’t tell with this information is a lockout due the acid soil or just generally lacking Potassium.
If the case is that plants just lacking for it and showing deficiency symptoms then it would be easy to fix with that.
….But I doubt it since your plants do have a nice shape and generally healthy looking expect fried leave edges.
Yes, if youve a soil pH test strips, soil pH meter or w.e you can use to measure your soil pH - that would be great knowledge!
After if we do get the confirmation that your soil pH is too low we can first try to flush the soil and get back to normal feeding schedule with a little Potassium boost, or using your PK booster.
And so on back to the start, if your soil pH is too low due the built up salts adding more salt based fertilizers wont fix the problem. Could make worse if heavy feeding.
HMU if I can otherwise help!
