hey bud! Indeed, it could be pH, but without a reading, and full info on the soil and amendments, it's hard to make a call,.... Ah! nute'#'s... this is a pretty mild conc., as you'd expect from organics... are you dead-set on using just organic nutes'? I admit, I'm not well versed in the nute' dept. with this, but poop teas are one way to get more conc. N-P-K in there, when she's ready,... (LOL! more research to do for you! look up Swampy, in that forum; for my part there, I'm more of a pest control guy).... Good, you diluted it some! ... burning symptoms will vary, depending on severity, and what's doing the burning... sometimes, you get decent looking plants that are stunted, and nothing else, or severe curling and yes, tip necrosis, spots,... Foliar is a nice option for many nute problems: it's the fastest way into the plant; it bypasses the soil/roots, if there's an issue there; can be used with fert's and supplements of most any kind. Simple process, just make sure to dilute the conc., usually @1/2 str,., cover top and bottom of leaves (do this for pest spraying as well, BTW), and get yourself some wetting agent, or water spreader, as it's called... this stuff is essential for proper foliar spraying; it's job is to take the surface tension out of the water or soln. you're spraying, which makes it coat and stick evenly, instead of beading up, and rolling off; basically, it comes down to more surface area covered = more absorbed by the plant! Stuff goes in through the stomas, small ports in the leaf that allows liquids and gasses to pass in and out; the rest of the leaf is sealed, and so stays on the surface, unabsorbed... after application, let it dry away from direct light and breezes, to avoid burning and drying too fast, as nutes only get in when in liquid state,... a fine misting of water again later, to redissolve things, will allow even more stuff to get in,... look for wetting agents in your Hydro-store, or online,... several choices, most are about $10-15... follow directions on how much to use, not too much or little, or it lessens the effectiveness! meantime, watch how it reacts to the nutes you gave, and try a more conc. dose next round if it looks to be taking this one okay.... :thumbs:
