Left over nutrients in the media are acidic, so when you feed, they get left in the media and then this dries in the media. When you water again, it re-solubles the nutrients , lowers the PH of the water and your runoff, while redepositing more nutrients into the media to start the process all over again. A solid flush will remove the dried nutrients and allow you to place more nutrients into the system at the proper PH.

Yellow lower leaves on 8-9 week old plants - Deficiency or age of plant?Lower leaves are starting to yellow on some of the plants. I think I have corrected my cal/mag issues but now these yellow leaves. Going into week 9 of flower. Is this normal because of the age of the mature plant or a deficiency?
Or is it still cal/mag deficiency?

Deficiencies while in late flowering during flushing periodThere is deficiency going on (looks like cal) she is an auto flowering strain in her 9th week and been flushed for a week now. Should I give her cal/mag and stop the flushing or is it too late to deal with that? She looks like she will be ready to chop in a week or so.

Help needed - harvest time?Hi, I'm now in week 12 and I feel that after the flush my 2 vertigo stopped developing. They also have a lot of leaves with some mag issues. Not all the pistols are amber (70%). Also, the trichomes are not all cloudy. I'm not sure but I think I don't see changes anymore.

Hey, anyone got any idea or clue what's going on?I thought it was a manganese or iron deficiency from an early watering with high pH.
Though I've fed/watered my other 2 plants pretty much the same stuff but she seems to be reacting really poorly.
She seems to be getting better slowly.. I think.
Thanks for taking the time. :)
