Yeah. At two weeks I start leaching/flusing.

I leached the soil last feeding by soaking them in a tub of fresh water and flushing the water through them, just pour a cup of water over them a bunch of times, really soak the soil. Then I do it again the next feeding and then give them a half strength fertilizer feeding with half the amount of water I would normally give them. This bath tub watering flushes out all the salt, or a lot of it, from the mix I use. I then feed them half nutrients for the next 7 days then pure water for the last 7 days. Those two deep flushed really soaks the soil so you need to watch your watering, don't over water, and for the last 7 days you want to schedule it so you would have normally feed them the day before you harvest them (but don't feed them, you want them drying out).

At least that's how I do it. Others do it different and do it just as well and better.

I also only use organic, never use anything without a carbon atom attached to it. Otherwise your pot will taste like shit and won't be dense, but bushy.

i start my flush when i got about 85% milky. in soil so when i flush its about 4 to 5 days between flushes. i try to get 3 flushes before harvest.
the harvest window is longer for sativas and shorter for indicas so it depends on strain also when to start flush.

MIlky ness is almost clear?
Now i'm confused cuz i was told they would go clear, milky, amber.
But you say milky to clear? Could you explain a little better? Thanks man, It's the first harvest coming soon, so you know i'm stressed over it, Don't it go wrong
when the mushroom heads begin to swell they're cloudy, then you can watch them clear up daily until they look like they're gonna' pop...then they cloud over again and go to a coca cola color...I don't care for couchlock, so I like indica just a tad immature.

Thats what i want from this one, a up high no couch lock. Is this what i watch for for a energetic up high?

looking very nice mostly cloudy with some amber. have you started flush yet if not better start.
i see in a couple a pics you got some hair or fibers of something sticking to them tops. gotta keep the op as clean as possible cause that sweet stickyness will catch everything then you smoke it. you know what i mean.
now you gotta decide what kind of high you want and harvest accordingly.

well, i had some probs, with a bunch of them two weeks ago after i watered. Then i wateredm, when dry enough with clean water(flush, but just gave half dose FF trio. to the one pictured above, and rest the same age.
Watering is on Wednesday, so i'll be flushing again.
Should i do just this plant or all the same age even though they all have different stages of trichs?
Sorry, it's a bagseed mix grow this round. Got White widow, PPP, Northern Lights, and Violator Kush for the next rounds!:-P
