hey Amos. When you flush with water only. Do you adjust the ph of the water to the 5.5 - 6.5 range, or is that not necessary? I know the plant should ripen using the nutes that are already in the stems and leaves, but not sure what to do with the water.
Good question, and I honestly don't know. Normally I plan for a 7-10 day all water finish, and will keep the ph adjusted for a few days, guessing that there's still some nutes around the moist roots even after draining the buckets. The last few days water only - another guess, because I don't want the chemical ph adjuster in the last days. [aka = winging it]
Beautiful Amos, looks like a nice yield on that SSDD, also looks like some nub foxtail there! What nutes you running? Little hot? (not criticizing, that looks like a great harvest and pretty bountiful at that) eta what lamp you running?
Thanks, TY. You might recall that I posted pics at around wk 3 or 4 where the plants had turned pale almost overnight. All reports I'd read suggested going easy on the nutes, which had served them well until then. At that point, however, I flushed and upped nutes until they'd regained color, so yeah, no doubt I over corrected somewhat then.
That's why I'm running 3 of BO and SSDD right behind, figuring the 2nd date should go a little smoother. Also....I
hate late foxtails. They started that around 8 weeks....every day after 9, I'm looking for them to finish; instead they keep popping those nubs.
I use Dyna-Gro foliage and bloom, CalMag to top the reservoirs between feedings. I love the simplicity of 2 part nutes - used GH previously - but I'm not married to them should I read or hear of something better that's just as easy. 400 watt MH 4 weeks of 12/12, then HPS to finish.
