Can I flush dry amendments?

enjoimangos · Jul 8, 2023

Hello All,

Curious if anyone has input on the possibility of flushing Gaia green dry amendments? I fed my plants (autos) on day 20 with the recommended dosage for veg, but learning that I'm nearing flower here at day 26. i fear nitrogen toxicity with the nutes I've provided.

I applied 3tbsp of 444 and 284 to my 3.5gal airpots.

They are still looking good, but I'm concerned for my girls.

They will need nitrogen in early flower and less in late flower. Flushing will probably do more damage. If it ain't broke, dont fix it is my opinion.

Short answer is no! It will wash them further into the soil.
Scrape them off the soil surface!!
Although I think your worrying about nothing!

I would say you are ok, that’s an extremely light feed, I have Been feeding at 3tbs per gallon, eg. my 5 gallon pots at flip got 6t bs 2-8-4 and 6 tbs 4-4-4

My mid flower top dress gets 12 tbs 2-8-4 and 3 tbs 4-4-4 (I plan to increase these rates all by 1tbs/gal next run)

I would not worry about adding the 4-4-4 I run SOME all the way through flower, they still need N in flower just not as much by far

Your plants look great atm by the way.

I'm not advising or advocating it, but I know people who run the 4-4-4 the whole cycle, veg and flower. I'd agree with the others and say youre good!

Just make sure you topdress some bloom in the next 2-3 weeks so it will be available as the plant begins to flower and feed more heavily.

Definitely wanna stay ahead of the curve when it comes to dry amendments in flower
