Shamus! That is your problem right there! I'm so glad you added that part where yousay the water gets sucked back up! All the crap in the saucer is stuff the plant didn't use, and honestly doesn't want. When you go out for BBQ, do you save the pile of bones for your next meal? Nope! They're extra, and you don't need them, and eating all the bones would give you kidney stones anyway! Your plants also don't use everything in their food, and it just runs out the bottom of the pot every time you water heavily- which is GOOD by the way to do on a schedule like RT says, especially with a fert that can be a bit on the 'salty' side- so now we can get you fixed up right.

Put something else under your plants, like broken pieces of brick or scrap wood, in the saucers and put the pots ON that. Never let the plant suck up its own waste water. Keep them up out of the waste and you will see that you have no problems with salting any more.

As for that last post by wayward in regards to a subject with is SOLELY between Rusty Trichome and his physician, unless he CHOOSES to discuss it with the COMPASSIONATE membership- buddy, you just went from a 3 month ban for the insult to the community at large to a permanent one for your profound lack of respect for the well-being of others. This community is obviously not a home for you. Go find another one. I'm disgusted by your insensitivity, not to mention mildly amused by your stupid advice.
