hi all,
i have signs of a potassium deficiency in my fast growing stems, rotala, hygro difformis and ludwiga reopens. (old leaves have pin holes and small amount of green spot algae)
however i refuse to believe it can actually be a K deficiency, i use EI and add extra K as well as whats present in the KNO3.
as for flow, i'm also pretty certain this isn't a cause, as the plants affected are spread throughout the tank and i have at least 10x flow in my 240l (ehiem 2028, 2126 and korolia 2 along the back wall all circulating in the same direction)
so..... co2??
could having low co2 cause the symptoms of K deficiency?
i however have no other low/fluctuating co2 symptoms!
or is there anything that is in excess could "block" the uptake of K?
or is there something else i should maybe be looking for??
thanks guys!
