Very quick background some of us here believe we may have been running in to micronutrient toxicities whilst targeting a specific iron (Fe) level with certain trace mixes.
For the main literature please see these threads.
Toxicity of CSM+B - The Planted Tank Forum
CSM+B Toxicity Experiment - The Planted Tank Forum
The symptoms speculated by the causal of micro nutrient toxicities are
Twisting of leaves
Stunting (no or slow growth)
Undulated leaf tips
Small deformed growth
Chlorosis
Shrivelling
Melting/necrosis
Algae
I took these from the links above for a quick breakdown. **Accuracy not validated by me**
We also want to talk about deficiencies too and so this thread is for reporting issues that are believed to be from nutrient toxicity AND deficiencies.
You can start hopefully by putting a small breakdown of your dosing and your observations.
There are at least four people here now that are experiencing issues with plant nutrition and so documented experiences should help us work things out together.
Please add to this thread your findings and observations.
