Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9. of flowering.
The flushing has started with harvest in 2 weeks after 2 days of darkness.
Man, These plant have been abused by fungus gnats this cycle. I only saw one or 2 and didn't think too much about it until they exploded. Wow. haven't had a explosion of gnat's like that in a while.
I'll be using diatomaceous earth in everything I put in pots for the next little while.
Other the the gnats everything is going good in here. The plants are still going through a good amount of solution each day.
But I have started flushing now. I add some Hydrogen Peroxide to the flush water. I have added 1 1/2 ounces of 29% HP to 5 gallons of water. The HP adds oxygen to the water but it also kills the friendly fungus and microbes (and fungus Gnats) so the plant has to fight harder to get the last nutrients it can out of the soil and fan leaves. To me this mean better and cleaner taste in the finished buds. I used to use it all the time until I found out about it killing the good fungus. Now I only use it in flush. It also hates root rot and adding it at the end will help to get you through to the harvest without root rot.
Se ya next week Chuck.
@Chucky324, hmm yeah i was aware of its properties actually it was more a personal opinion query really but i think we can all appreciate the extra knowledge provided :) Thanks and GL with the grow!!!
@Sublyme_ness, Hi Buddy. I haven't ever had any problem with copper. I like copper because it doesn't rust. I the hospitals have found that super viruses can't live on it's surface, it kills them. I put copper wire in the soil to hold up my seedlings without problems. Garden tip: slugs and snails won't crawl on it, put it around you outdoor plants. Chuck.
@Chupadeos, Hello. Here in Canada it's the Department of Health that looks after the medical licenses. So I would start there. A internet search would be a good idea. Just ask google. Chuck.
