i'd let it dry out a little first.

i find smaller doses more often is better then bigger doses here and there. my plants get fed a SMALL amount EVERY watering. ;)

That's pretty much what i was doing. Thats why i flushed last night thinking maybe i had a salt build up causing a slight lock out.
Now i have been using molasses every feeding, which according to 1 of the responses can cause a N def.
Ok, now I'm a lil confused. So what i gather is back off on the mol and slightly increase nutes?
That about right or am i just getting things all twisted up. Damn, i need to go smoke a bowl.. Lol

i have not heard this before...more N will extend your cure? why is this.....giving you give a good 2 week flush also....why would the extra N extend your curing?.....

molasses is useless. up the nutes a little. give them less, more often. ;)

How do you guys tell when the "cure is done"
In other words, how do you know that your cure is "extended" by an abundance of N?

you can find out how long it takes to cure by reading up in the "curing and harvesting" section...good info in that room..........but the extended cure cuz of extra N, is what i would like to know

i'd let the dry out, then give them a half dose or so, every watering, for the next 4 or 5 waterings. it usually takes a week or so for them to show changes.

I was thinking about brewing a tea with the fresh stuff (I hear it's higher in N.) bubble it for 24 hours add a lil molasses for the bacteria within the shit to eat, aerobic conditions.

I wonder what a half dose of 5 gallon tea like this would be....

so fdd you really don't believe in using /any/ beneficial sugars for the microbes? what about molasses in very small amounts? I would think it has some benefit if balanced correctly.

I have read a lot on curing, and have never seen any information on determining when the cure is absolutely "done". I didn't think it was possible. I guess I will browse that forum, but honestly, I have little faith that I will find an answer.

FFD you are 100 % correct in everything that you have said! I do the same and have done so for a long time! There are no magic solutions to this. In saying that there are improvements to "old" products but it all boils down to the same thing............ Whats the palnt need!

Cheers

nice to see some one actually sticking to their guns!
