Hi RIU uses a little question here for anyone who wants to explain leaching to me, it is just the same flushing or is it? and when would you leach your plants and why? This might sound a stupid question but when the only garden i have ever owned, is a window box, then youll understand, anyway time to build a :joint::joint: or two lol

Leaching is when you water to run off. Flushing is overdone leaching.

You should water to run off with every watering. Nute the same way, to run off.

Of course it's simple. LOL

Stoners love to complicate the simple.

Gardeners/farmers just sorta scratch their heads at all this convoluted shit growing a simple flowering annual.

Just when you water them let some water drible from the bottom of the pots: this is only done in soil mediums.

ffof should have more perlite added to it, otherwise it will compact regardless. Still water to run off, but probably longer between waterings.

Call it a learning experience.
