Flush necessary in flowering stage?

WulfBludstarted grow question 4 years ago

I have yet to flush my plants in the beginning of week 5. Is this a necessary step once flowering starts? My runoff tests pretty good even though I know that isn’t a super precise test. What are your thoughts? Should I flush with normal water or something specific?

No need to "flush" just for the sake of it, I would only ever flush if there was a MAJOR problem, otherwise flushing unnecessarily will just kill all the healthy microbes that your plant needs for effective nutrient assimilation. Just give plain water for the last 10-14 days before harvest, this is all that is really required. Hope this helps,...... Organoman.

Maybe water with Nutes twice and then reg water once and keep that sequence til you are ready for the final flush with reg cold water for 2 weeks. Keeps the nutes in the soil while letting them eat up everything in it without wasting nutes or over nute.

The tips of my leaves are hanging down. I looked it up and it could be a lack of nutes. In my description more about that. What do you guys think? Also my plant stems are getting a bit purple. This could be the PH level? Thanks for answering!

the red stems on this is good and the purple stems are good too but if they aint all the same color you should definitely check the new fish in sea and check out the soil the pH everything to make sure what is going on

I noticed some leaves and stems getting red/purple (see latest photo Week #10) so I'm a bit afraid of Phosphorous deficiency but otherwise the plant look healthy so not sure. Don't want to use redundant fertilizers as I would expect her to finish soon - ideas would be welcomed!

I ovawatad, and possibly ova nuted my plants which led to all sorts of deficiencies (cal/mag/iron). The 24/7 light cycle didn't help. I've reduced the cycle to 18/6 and waited enough to start watering again which my plants appreciated.thinking of using cal sulfur sup: thoughts?
