Could anyone discuss this subject ?
The only K I add comes from TMG and little KH2PO4.
Nitrates come from Ca(NO3)2 and Mg(NO3)2...
P and N are stable from week to week but K is raising.

Thanks in advance !

K is most certainly assimilated by plants. Perhaps your tapwater is
relatively high in K and the additional K from the TMG is too high of a
dose.

Thanks to both !

My tap water should be 0.64 mg/l
I add with KH2PO4 about 3 mg/l per week

Add kh2po4 only to fresh water to reach 1-1,5 ppm in water to change .
if you need more PO4 add some fish and do not add kh2po4 daily because K is
cumulating as you write.

I change 1/7 of the water every week

My current concentration is about 55 mg/l
If K+ is assimilated by plants, is it the first ion to leave
when leaves decompose ?

Thanks again !
