alternatively :- 20 ml KNO3 and 10 ml KHPO4 on day 1 ,3 and 5
micro nutrients on days 2,4,6

problems :- for past 3 weeks the results have been fantastic the new growth in my plants have been larger than the plants acquired
Recently I noted the leaves on my indicator plants ie: Temple and polysperma turing crispy like wafers and the new leaves of Polysperma cupping up. I added a small amount of Argonte sand for extra calcium. Still the problem persists. Kindly help.
