I have the net in now, and of course the plants seemed to slow growing a lot as soon as I put it in. It probably isn't necessary now but is in there in case it is.
I need to change the water on Monday. Monday will be exactly 2 weeks of flowering, and they are supposed to go 9-11 weeks. I am trying to work out a schedule for the next 7-9 weeks. The GH schedule has 3 phases from here on out: Bloom, Aggressive Bloom, and Ripen. I also need to flush for 9-10 days or so.
Bloom is 1:2:3, Agressive Bloom is 0:2:3. Week 1 I used a "Transition" mix, Week 2 I upped that mix to the "Bloom" mix. When should I switch from Bloom (1:2:3) to Agressive Bloom (0:2:3)? That is my biggest question.
Right now I have 7-9 weeks left. I want a later "couch lock" harvest so I am assuming 11 weeks total, 9 weeks left. The last 2 weeks are for the flush, so 7 weeks of nutrients left. The last 2 weeks of nutrient are the "Ripen" mix, so I have 5 weeks to divide between "Bloom" and "Aggressive Bloom". So far I am thinking 2 more weeks of Bloom, then 3 of Agressive Bloom.
So that would make the complete flower schedule...
Week 1 - Transitition
Weeks 2, 3, 4 Bloom
Weeks 5, 6, 7 Agressive Bloom
Weeks 8, 9 Ripen
Week 10 Flush with Flora Kleen (3-4 days)
Week 11 Flush with plain RO water
Does this look good? I am most confused by when to switch from Bloom (1:2:3) to Aggressive Bloom (0:2:3). Also, is my dual flush a good idea? Taste is very important too me, I know that "fish tank" taste and definately don't want it. I've seen a lot of people talk about flushing for 2 weeks so I thought using FloraKleen for a few days, then without for week to to get rid of any taste FloraKleen might leave behind. Am I going to far with the flush?
