I don’t think I even looked.

- Thread starter Lochness1980
- Start date
1. Yes there was a SHITLOAD of them, at least hundreds visible in the pots and under. 2. Yes i'm in soil (i think they came in the soil, back in the 90's i remember my soil mix being baked and bug free and then i added organics back to it). 3. I thought the microbe lift might have been expired but there was no expiration date anywhere on bottle or package 4. Even straight H2O2 3.5% would not kill them. And i only became worried because it seemed like it was sucking the life out of the plants. I will start another thread about it
I definitely think they are coming in from the bags of dirt...... ( or coco mix) that i use as a seed/clone starter

If you say flush one more time you're going on ignore.

I'm just kidding bud. I'm just a loadie that likes to have fun. But flushing isn't necessary and everytime there's a flushing thread it usually goes down the drain,

You can't really flush out nutrients once the plants have taken them up. You can feed less towards the end since they'll need less food, but don't starve them.

Well first what is flushing suppose to do?
It only removes salts from the media not the plant.
If you overfeed during all of flowering 1-2 weeks of water at the end ain’t gonna fix it.
Only thing flushing is useful for is removing excess nutrients, ie Toxicities
You can give plain water at the end for a week or so but that ain’t technically flushing

Leeching I think is the technical word... think it was Danny danko who expressed that flushing for a week or 2 allows for a much smother smoke less nutes in the flower due to the leeching process...Well first what is flushing suppose to do?

She got awhile to go. U gotta go by how the plant looks. Whenever u go thru any issues during bloom look forward to a longer flowering period. U gotta account for any plant shock that may have occurred and any recovery time it takes to start back growth/flowering. Even heavy defoliating can extend time. Also strain genetics plays a part. So if it would've taken 10 weeks for a sativa look forward to maybe 12 weeks. No hard timetable works for any plant. To many factors.

Yeah I'm watching the plant bro... this ain't my 1st rodeo... I'm watching her trichomes I'd say over 80% have clouded over with almost around 30-40# amber..
So I'll take your advice bud as any advice is always appreciated as this may help with other grows or other growers if they stumble upon this...
She got cut y'day and is hanging in her controlled space now... I'll have her ready for new year... she put on a bit since last pics but when I've chopped I'll let you all know yeild.... merry Xmas all
