basically a plant will suberise to a certain extent. if the plant's salinity tolerance is broken, then it is fucked. osmotic pressure is reversed and the water is pulled from the plant.
some plants have a low suberisation ability and therefore will not be able to take much salt. Raspberries for example can only handle an EC of 2.0.
tomatoes and broccoli have a moderate salt tolerance of 6.0... cannabis is around there too... with sativas coming in at the low end of the scale and indicas coming at the higher end, possibly as high as 8.0EC. it is also worth noting that salinity tolerance is directly related to drought tolerance.... in that a salinity tolerant plant will also have excellent drought tolerance.
