This is some Hog grown in FFOF soil with GH flora nutes. Do you think I should begin the flush now?, this is the beginning of week 7.

I can't tell if it's the light or what, but it looks like you're getting some yellowing already. I'd wait a week, then just cut your levels in half and step down each day from there for that week, then water the last week. This won't starve your plant, but you're still flushing it out.

Very nice. Hog is a great indica, heavy yields too. I've heard it can really feed very heavily. You may want to hit that with another PK boost right now to fuel that second wave growth that's coming in there, but give it some nitrate nitrogen also, that will help a ton.

Im getting a little yellowing on the lower leaves but not really the overall plant. maybe I will give a little more N for he last feeding for them to survive on. the ppm I last fed with was at 1200, I think ill stick with that, but a bigger ration of Nitrogen

you are in flower? you shouldn't give it N .. well very very little. iTs okay if the leaves are yellowing near the end.. its supposed to do that.. its pulling the rest of the nutes out of the leaves.

I agree with the last poster. I mixed FF gro big hydro all the way through my last harvest, and lst harvest was very leggy and stringy. Im going to focus on phosphate and potassium this harvest. I was excited to see my last batch of plants grow huge, but the buds never caught up.

I just want the leaf on the bud to stay green so last time I fed, it got an even ratio of all nutrients except for some Kabloom, most of the fan leaves have yellowed and fallen off(8 weeks today), Ill post some updated pics tomorrow and the next watering will be ph'd water and humbolt hydro molasses. heres some bud that came from seeds Nirvana gave me for free, idk what the strain is

1. Flushing is a myth,

2. It's leaves that produce bud. By dropping out or reducing N (which will induce premature leaf loss) you'll lose potential yield.

i would assume you would want to stop all nutes going into the plant the last week of flowering. I've had bud that wasn't flushed and it doesn't burn down to ash.
