Hello, I’ve got some clones in some purple cow super soil mix. They are burning pretty bad “nute burn” I’m wondering how I can fix this in the future. Should I some how water the super soil to flush out some nutes before planting my clones into them ? Or is it normal for clones to experience some issues during the first few weeks of veg. Thanks

Pictures always help. Do not try flushing super soil. Just water but use the proper amount. 25% minimum of the container volume. If actual soil do not worry about pH.

Usually nitrogen excess is what you are seeing. Nitrogen quickly depletes from medium. It's the element that's taken up the fastest as well. Keep going.

I'm seeing potassium deficiency and not burn. Yes overwatering is the #1 cause of plants kept by humans. Too much fertilizer the main cause of plants being damaged. I'd transplant those into 3 gallon bags.
Gotcha thanks bro. So for further reference transplant earlier in their life ? Or start them in a bigger pot

Lots of arguments around that but start small. Transplant into the larger container once well rooted. Solo cups rock there. Turn it upside down and let the plug slide out. You'll see exactly how roots look. Leave a few inches of perlite in the bottoms of your final container even if bags. If you have a lot of roots in the plug transplant into the big unit. Have it premoistened. Leave it alone for a few days.
