too much nutes, nute burn, its the same thing, just an earlier stage. if it progressed i would have suggested a flush, if you just kept watering your plant would continue to get burned.
as for leaving your plants with constant slight tip burn like most these commercial growers try, i believe it effects taste, as do salt based nutes when they cause buildup, some organic nutes can also burn plants and it seems to have the same effect on taste/smoke however not to the extent that salt based nutes do, from experience trying to keep them right on the edge of burn has yielded better quality bud, but this is all opinionated because some people cant tell the dif between chemically grown shit thats been burnt to hell(probably pops like fireworks in the bowl, see shit like that down here in FL way too much) and organic shit that wasnt overfed for the last 8 weeks.
never had pH problems with a flush, though i only flush with rainwater or 6.5pH water, and id make you have pretty good drainage. but yes, you could cause deficiency if you dont feed after the flush, never had this problem really, my medium is packed with nutes along with rich compost that i throw on the top soil every few weeks.
Not the same thing....this leaf tip "burn" as you call it does not progress,,,,UNLESS you keep upping your nutrient ratio.....My Organic grows express this "yellow" tip (just the very ends) from the style of soil I build.....I see this in hydro and soil and Coco all the time from other growers....I have NEVER seen it progress up the leaf and through out the plant with out them getting an INCREASE in nutrient feeding.....This is so common it has become the new normal.....Like I said.....Nutrient makers listed schedules are hot....H&G does list it in normal and "aggressive" styles,,,,,,The normal STILL gets just the very ends of the leaf yellow. If yours do not, at all.....good for you.....your doing what works for you!
If you cure properly,,,,,it will not pop like fireworks......I say I final flush,,,,and say others should to.....But you know what.....all I do is use straight water for the last week and keep the pot a bit more damp during that time. I don't run crap loads of water through my pots to remove nutrients,,,,like I said,,it doesn't matter. If you trim and CURE properly, It will not pop like fireworks (even if it was nutrient burnt at one point)......
The only way you can tell the dif between my DWC and my soil grows are the flavors I can express from the soil ones....With a little creative supplementation in the Hydro, it can get real hard to tell the difference.
"Chemically grown shit" is an pretty broad statement....If it works for them,,,,then it's good....
Glad you haven't,,,really! It does happen.....Most think a "flush" is a gallon of water for every gallon of pot size....Not a good idea and really not a good idea for organic. I have said on here to give a quick "flush" and run water for a period of time....This is to be done by watering just until you get flow through......More like a cup of water to a gallon of pot size......this is to help remove a salt build up giving a lock out.
Look around the site. Look at the to flush or not to flush questions (final flush).....and see what I mean about the proper cure....Oh hey look it's been 12 days and my Dope is dry....time to sell and smoke = NOT!
I'm having a bad day (Staining a 550+sqft total area of decking in the blazing sun)
and your answer lit me up
.....Sorry, I don't MEAN to offend
.....But I know I'm right on the leaf tip thing.....I've been doing this for far to long.
