I tried doing a grow yrs ago and spent a small fortune on advanced nutrients, cant remember exactly but sure it was close to £400 if not more, still got a couple of tubs of things with prices on like tarantuala £65 a tub, sensizym £60 and i no i had alof of bottles, went to same shop years later and they advised me to get this shogun i think it is and they said its as good as advanced nutes but half price of it so i took there advice, next time though defo trying organic, not looked into it but sure that would be even dearer.
My kid used to be a mixer at advanced so I tried most of their stuff.
Yes it works, yes it is more expensive than it deserves to be in my opinion.

Organic is fun.
You can get extreme and build your own soils and teas and all that.
But you can also buy bags and pre made tea so honestly anyone can do it.

Ile have to read up on it for next time, i wasn't thinking of making my own just buying ! If its not to difficult though im bang on that lol, im not using soil im aeroponics but guess you can do for that as well. Loveing learning all these little techniques and watching progress, probably first hobby i every had that didn't involve a beer ha.

In the link the OP was referring to mentioned nothing about flushing the plant. It did say to water the mother plant with PH adjusted water for 2-3 days before taking clones as the excess nitrogen stored in mother will retard rooting.... No flush involved..!

Hi ryan out of interest when do u flush ? Ive read people say every wk or 2 and others say just after veg and harvest.
Careful, he may suggest you use Pepsi to flush. Cause he uses Mt Dew to feed.


The thing about cuttings is to take them as low on the plant as you can. the new growth "ends" have less N and will root faster....(member what Charface said about N). Branching cut from the top of the plant will contain the most N and take the longest to root!

"Flushing" will NOT remove or "lower" nutrient levels IN the plant. So then, "flushed" plant cuttings will produce the same results as those from plants NOT flushed.

Understand now?

The last week I normally just give it pHd water which allows me to water to twice and dry up before chopping it down, all that harsh is from curing just don't over dry it

STFW? Harsh from curing? You ARE a MORON!

Flushing IS a myth!

Use Bovita packs (62's) in your curing jars to keep the cure working as to dry means it's not curing properly!
"To dry" does not cure, smoke or burn right

Do you even bother to read my posts since you seem to just try and tell the OP the exact opposite of what I say like no one is trying to be the correct one over here, and if you read what I said I'm stating flushing doesn't create harsh taste it all comes from curing, AS IN IF YOU DON'T CURE IT RIGHT IT WILL TASTE LIKE SHIT AND HARSH..

YES I DO!

HERE is your EXACT words from above!

You did NOT give any impression or better yet "any words" to mean what you just said above! Your lack of simple English skills stands tall in many of your so called answers.....


Now then. I shall LEAVE you alone from here out,,,,,IF, you do the same for me........
