Plant Magic Flush

[Shredder]

I'm about to chop in 2 weeks and was wondering if Plant Magic Flush was suitable for soil as I have some left over from one of my hydro crops.

I have looked on Plant Magics website but cant see anything that says yes or no?

If Plant Magic Flush isn't suitable for soil can anyone recommend a good flush/clearing solution?

Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Your growing in organic soil, right? If so, no you don't need to flush at all. Some just use plain water the last two weeks, some feed up to the chop, but few organic growers flush, it's just not needed, unless you have a build up of salts for some reason...........shredder

just cut some myself in a TLO grow, ive always used plain water for last week or 2 but DONT "flush" them or they will be strugglin by 2 weeks just nice slow watering for a week or 2 and light not heavy with plain water you want the humidity low like 30% before you harvest so light watering for last week or two and youll be doin it

These guys are funny!

Our Organic Growth Stimulant has been extracted from prehistoric plants and animal remains that have decomposed naturally over millions of years. As well as improved quality, flavours and aromas from flowers, fruit and vegetables an increase in yield are also achieved with this unique formula.

Is that a fancy way of saying "humic acid?" I had a guy at a tradeshow talk to me about how his stuff is from back when "dinosaurs ruled the Earth" like it was some magic ingredient. I was like, you mean "leonardite?" and he shut up really fast.... I hate when people use smoke and mirrors in their advertising.

Oh, and to the OP, if you have chemical salts, then flush. Or, you might try some humates/humic acid to chelate the salts. I think that would work as well, though I've never experimented with it, as I don't personally use any chems.

This is the soil I'm using http://www.plant-magic.co.uk/products/supreme.html
I have used a couple of non organic additives, namely liquid gold and Plant Magic PK Bloom.

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to soil but I'm planning on ditching hydro as I think soil gives better results and less hassle.

I have never seen or heard of your soil, I'm curious, what does it look like? Foam chunks in the soil is new to me, are they soft or hard? Big or small?

Where I live I get resources mostly from farm stores. I amend the soil at the start, then feed mostly ewc or compost teas. I'm pretty much off bottled nutrients, for both ease of use and quality of buds. Then I have a worm bin for worm castings, and I make my own compost. Both castings and compost work well in an organic soil for both their humic content and the microbes that they harbor plus they add favorable texture to the soil, water retention, ect. If possible you may want to try it yourself, if not maybe you could source some good organic ingredients in your area......good luck.......shredder

nice lookin ladies there Persion! sounds like good stuff especially if it gives the soil good airation thats what is a little tricky for some newbs including myself is achieving really good soil structure for more air eqauls better root development and more active microlife i found this out the hard way,when mixing Foxfarm ocean forest with my own compost it just wast chunky enough and didnt drain very well at all and my plants all began to lose their vigor and began to have to process its nutes on its own! they were never the same the rest of the way till harvest.

There's compost and there's compost. If your compost turns to mud when wet, it is probably not too good, at least by itself. If it is fluffy, smells like the earth, swells when wet, then you can squeeze out the water and it fluffs back up, it is probably good......shredder

The other things is, you can add pumice/perlite/rice hulls/vermiculite. At a 20-25% rate with your compost, you should avoid those drainage issues.
