FLUSHING IS for removing salt build up not so much other nutrients. the plant needs nutrients all the way up until harvest that’s why organic growers don’t flush or water until runoff and get superb flavors and tastes, It’s those pure nutrients. The salts speed up chlorophyll production and the allow the extra release of potassium and phosphorous which is obviously stuff you don’t want your plant to use up more in its last 2 weeks of growth as the leaves should already be fading naturally, more chlorophyll production now will give a green taste after drying. Potassium and Phosphorous will also affect flavor as excess of these lockout micronutrients your plant needs during its final stages. 2 weeks, no less than that, you should flush your plant before harvest but more often than not the fertilizer manufacture should have a when to flush day if the nutrients are cannabis specific
definitely recommend dropping dosages. week 7 give 3/4 week 8 give 1/2, end week 8 week 9 water only and harvest if or when all goes to planThanks for the additional info @hrtbrk3n and @GreenGalaxyFarm. So based on that, I guess I'm thinking of 3 options:
1. Stop nutrients after THIS Wednesday (6 weeks old) which will give a 2+ week buffer for week 8-9 harvest. I know this option has the chance to really reduce yield.
2. Stop nutrients after NEXT Wednesday (7 weeks old) which might end up being 1-2+ weeks of flushing. I know this option has the chance to have a greener taste if it finishes earlier, but potentially bigger yield with extra week of nutrients.
3. Reduce feeding to maybe 1/2 strength for this week and begin flushing NEXT Wednesday. This option could also still have the potential for a greener taste, and would there be other adverse effects?
Thought? Other options?
Yeah I think I'm gonna kinda go with that blended approach of reducing and then flushing. We'll see how it works out! Honestly I'm just happy she's done as well as she has so far hahadefinitely recommend dropping dosages. week 7 give 3/4 week 8 give 1/2, end week 8 week 9 harvest if all goes to plan
Getting HUGE like FUCCILLO CHEVROLETAlso just a couple pics and a video from this morning. She's still happy and healthy!
They grow up so fastGetting HUGE like FUCCILLO CHEVROLET
nice fat indica might feed herself for 10 days, care of sativa crosses they need feeding till all trichomes are cloudyFlushing, when I was a beginner grower I was really misinformed. I was told I need to drop her in the bathtub and run copius amounts of water over the soil. Within 3 days she was a yellow mess and probably really affected my last 2 weeks of growth. I only water the last 2 to 3 times with 10% runoff now. I go full nutes untill 10 days left of growth then just PH'd water. It seems to be a good ballance.
thanks, I'll remember that. I'm growing a few Hazes now so thats good infonice fat indica might feed herself for 10 days, care of sativa crosses they need feeding till all trichomes are cloudy
Not planning to flush yet. Next feeding will be 9ml/l, followed by 6ml/l followed by 3ml/l and then flush from there. She's been getting water every 2-3 days, so with that logic, she'll be at least receiving partial nutrients up past the end of week 7 and partially into week 8. Which allows for at least a week of flushing the salts. Typical harvest for this strain is 8-9 weeks.this plant is still far from ready to flush brother you are going to run into nutrient issues
In my case the only solution was letting the plant finish and changing my soil recipe so that didn’t happen next time lol…I’ve seen that before on plants of mine in the past. in my case the brown spots were from overwatering/ poor aeration and took effect in mid flower. It could be over feeding too the brown spots would be caused by nutrient lockout. too much calcium and salts can lock out macronutrients
