The reason why people run veg nutes into the first week or two is because the plant has no flowers yet. I have found some strains that dont like flowering nutes at the beginning in my experience it will kill the sretch and adversly affect yield. Personally I dont get the starving of a plant for a day would help esp. on a fast growing, hungry strain. I have not tried the flushing for a day but probably wont make that much difference.
hey bud. I understand the concept. Typically, in the UC, people have been insisting all these nutrient companies have to much nitrogen in bloom.
Sure, the plant is growing, and growing fast at that, during flip/stretch... But that makes me wonder, WHY, does the plant stretch during flip??
Is it the sudden change of nutrients?? do you think nitrogen will increase the stretch or decrease it..maybe the stretch comes from being introduced into a higher p-k value??
I would say its pretty strain dependent, but even on these nitrogen/
calmag whores like OG, greencrack, etc... it seems nobody is running into issues of leaves getting pale yellow before its time to chop...more so, it seems people are having issues getting all those high levels of nitrogen OUT of there plants by flush...
Typically, on the strain i'm running, (greencrack), which is a nitrogen whore, I like to keep the nitrogen up throughout stretch, while still introducing bloom nutes the day of flip.
This time around, I just left about 1/3 veg nutes in the bottom of my buckets and refilled with bloom nutes. The Dutch Master Gold seems to have plenty of nitrogen in the bloom line, and i'm thinking she's gonna keep me nice and green until im ready for something different.
Just my .02
and it probably didnt even make sense. LOL
