Identifying Nutrient Burn

Nutrient burn is characterized by brown or black leaf tips and edges. It can be caused by overwatering, using the wrong type of nutrients, or improper pH levels. If you notice these symptoms, it's time to take action.

Recovery Steps

1. Adjust pH levels: Use a pH meter to check the pH of your water and adjust it to the recommended range for your specific nutrient solution. 2. Flush the system: Remove all nutrients from the soil or hydroponic system and flush thoroughly with pH-neutral water. 3. Reduce watering: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering. 4. Monitor nutrient levels: Use a nutrient test kit to ensure your plants are receiving the right balance of nutrients.

Prevention Tips

1. Use the right nutrients: Choose a high-quality nutrient solution that is specifically formulated for cannabis. 2. Monitor pH and EC: Regularly check the pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of your water and soil to ensure they are within the optimal range. 3. Avoid overwatering: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent nutrient burn.
