Plants feeding naturally only take up what they need so even a super hot soil usually doesn’t hurt much. I’ve never seen N burn in all the years I’ve grown in living soil but I have gotten clawed plants from too “hot” a soil. The fix is to simply water as normal. Plants recover very quickly. The reason people get nutrient burn in the first place is because soluble npk is absorbed directly; also why you need to ph adjust a nute solution for proper absorption.
Most of the problem people have with ph is a lack of understanding of what ph actually means. Numbers on a meter do not mean much of anything unless the growing medium is sterile. In a living soil the ph can fluctuate within the range of absorption from one sector of a container to another depending upon what organic materials, minerals, etc are present in that particular area. The microbes and mycorrhizae fungi do all the work. No need to adjust anything unless the soil has become sterile. Many people in this forum are using their soil as a hydroponic medium mostly because they do not know better. Check out meowt ...
Here’s to new beginnings! Restarting a perpetual grow from jump street so was thinking of doing something as an collective: I will post an updated pic weekly or bi-weekly to monitor our progress and show how these plants develop through veg into bloom and full maturity. Feel free to post pics of...
