Thread a bit old BUT, there's some erroneous/left-out info...
...Brick Top gave some interesting info but left out a thing called transpiration pull --- which just happens to be how most of the water/fluid enters a plant --- evaporation is part of that process but imbalanced pressures creating a pull is what makes it work.
While it's true that plants will not over-feed themselves thereby causing something referred to as nutrient burn a high EC will damage the plants but most people think it's because the plant is taking in too much --- not so --- it's reverse osmosis that damages the plant and what we see in the the leaves is actually nutrient deficiency. When solutes of differing strengths are separated by a permeable membrane the weaker solute will flow through the membrane in an attempt to equalized the two solutes....sooooo, the plant is bleeding itself to make things equal.
The only way you can nutrient burn a plant is to inject the stem or spill/pour high strength solutions on the leaves...
...and as the man said, that's all I have to say 'bout that.
