Thank god that one post made it. What kills me is that I know the entire page I typed is floating around somewhere.....but I can't access it......:wtf: C'est la vie....:stoned:

SO......here are the things I watch for in my plants that warn me my ppms are too high and I am burning them with too many nutes.

1. A quickly rising ph in a previously stable system. I find it will take more ph down than usual to get the ph in the solution back to normal and the number will rise again quickly over and over.

2. Leaf edges and tips curled down It pays to make sure your room temps etc are ok and then immediately check your ph....is it rising, etc? This is the stage that I like to solve the problem before it gets any worse.

3. The ppms in your solution will start rising very quickly......as the plant leaves the nutes behind and sucks up water like mad to try and compensate. It also pays to check your ppms daily since you WILL be checking your ph all the time just to get an idea of your daily trends. Then when something changes it will get you wondering whats up.

Luckily all an easy fix in hydro....just add water to drop your ppms back about 100-150. (check ph....always check ph!! ) It takes a few days for plants to get back on track from nuteburn so watch ph carefully and keep checking and diluting the solution as needed until the plant stabilizes.
