Default Re: How to balance NPK, Ca, Mg and micros - new experiments

Quote:
As you suggested: Ca = 32, Mg = 8, Na = max. 5, NO3 = 5, PO4 = 0.2..0.5, K approx. 30 ppm, Cl = 5,
Do you keep these paramers in your tank now or do you use tap water with 67 ppm Ca and 20 ppm Mg ?

Some old leaves died off ( turn yellow, with brown spot)
This may be a sign of K or manganese deficieny. If you haven't dosed enough potassium so far (less than 10 ppm a week), you shoud do it now. Wrinkled leaves can also be caused by lack of K.
