How long of a flush is recommended? I’m thinking...
Captain_7started grow question 6 years ago
How long of a flush is recommended? I’m thinking ph’d water starting at the beg. of 9 for one or two weeks. Is the aim to reduce nutes in the media (coco/perlite) or to filter the nutes from the buds? Any suggestions / tips as this is the first time using regular chem nutes

Hi Captain, I just finished harvesting my Northern in coco/perlite with the same nutes as you and it was a very nice grow. I started flushing at end of week 8 for 1 week with the initial flush of 6 gallons of pHed RO water, went from 1400ppm down to 190 and then 2 gallons of pHed RO water every 2 days. Went from 190 down to 50ppm at the end. I should have went one more week because she was still a healthy green when I chopped. But Trichomes were milky with some ambers. Take your time my friend. Happy harvest 😎

Nute burn other symptoms. Is this a case of overwatering?Hey peeps,
One of my plants (start of week 5) Started with burnt tips due to nute burn which I've taken steps to halt. Lower leaves started yellowing and drooping, but now a few newer leaves started showing yellowing as well.
Is this overwatering + nute burn or is there more?Leaves. Dropping off

Struggling with deficiencies (nutrient lockout?)Hello everyone, I need your help. I've been growing 2 Green Gelato Auto from RQS but I've had some deficiencies for a while now. It's my second grow and it's the first time that I adjust the pH. They are in soil and I'm feeding them with Biobizz liquid nutes at a pH between 6-7.Leaves. Curl up

Nearing the end of this grow and had a few issues. Didn't flower as it was meant to so flowering started almost 4 weeks late -I triggered using 12/12Autoflower plant now shedding leaves in abundance, but buds don't seem ready...growth of buds has slowed (hard to tell if it has stopped completely tbh). At this point the plant has been alive about 4-5 weeks longer than its internal clock intended. Do I harvest now or persist?3 years ago

Droopy leavesWhy are the top of the leaves droopy? Is it because of stress because I broke two brances by accident and lsting, or is it over/underwatering?
I stop watering the second i see runoff. My medium has atleast 10% perlite so its really airy. Leaf tips look normal, no yellowing.Leaves. Dropping off

Why are my leaves starting to turn down or droop?Nothing is really any different. Watering about every 4th day when the soil is dry. I check the PH and adjust it, room temp on the water. This started just after the watering I did last Wednesday. Watered again today and it looks worse. Everything I see says over watering.Week 3

Trimming rusted leavesShould I trim the rusted leaves and small sprouts? On other plants I would get rid of them to keep the plant healthy, is that normal on weed plants??
