Nute burn in organics

[Gucc1M3ng]

So i am growing 4 plants(2x blood orange and 2x lemon og kush)in an organic mix(super coco and m3) recommended by my local hydro shop. My lemon ogs are loving life but it seems like the blood oranges are getting nutrient burns. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I wish I knew. I had the same issue with the blood orange that I tried to grow. I grew Blue Dream, Sea Warp, C99, and Afghani at the same time in the same soil, and they all performed well. The blood orange turned out to be male, and I was almost thankful. I will be interested to see what others will say. I still have a couple of seeds.

IMHO, Lay off the nutes for the Blood Orange & just use plain water. Then when you need to use later, use half what you used before you burned them.

Im using an organic mix(nutrients are already present in the soil) so i am not adding nutrients

Right.
I had that problem about 2 years ago with my own soil mix. Was far too 'hot' with N.
Killed a promising crop. Have been careful since. Been reading on those BO. Very nice looking genetics
Hope you sort it out & good luck.

When building a hot soil mix its best to cook your soil for atleast a few weeks prior to planting. Get that microbial food web going......youll be good next time.

That was probably my problem too. I think my mix was too rich for the tangie. I'm recycling my soil on the third round and I'm not adding much this time.

yeh u can still over do it organically .

Is there a way to flush the soil out? or am i gonna have to repot into a less hot soil

Flush it with distilled water and then ph water only for a week or two. Reintroduce 1/4 strength notes and slowly work them up! Good luck

Not adding nutes, its an organic mix. I wasnt sure if you could flush nutes out of an organic soil or not

You do not have mycos in your soill yet. Ph your water to 6.4 and water it into your soil. After about 2-3 weeks mycos will establish and will PH the water for you.
