I Think it probably is potassium overdosing but what I cant figure out is that even the white tips have great polyp extension, I thought any tip burning would have no polyps at all

If you're looking to buy another Potassium test kit, I've used the Elos recently
I don't like the lack of range between 3-400ppm
It's hard to know what your results are
Look at how small the range is



If you can get your hands on one, the Salifert is supposed to be easier to use, and has a more defined range as it uses the titration technique
Count the drops and there's your reading
