Hi Guys,
I've got many years of growing behind me and I spend a lot of my RUI time helping noobs with plant problems.
One very common problem is overfeeding and nutrient lockout.
I'm seeking a better understanding so that my guidance is based on knowledge.
So assuming soil, coco or soil-less. When overfeeding occurs, nutrient salts accumulate in the medium. And ph drops.
So my question is: Do the nutrient salts themselves cause nutrient malabsorption (lockout)...or is it primarily the lowering of ph (as a result of the salt accumulation)? A two step process.
Thanks for any opinions,
JD
