I thought so as well when I started. If the plants aren't eating like they did just lower the intake depending on how often you feed/water them. Make sure to feed the lower nutrient level to drain a bit. I've made it a habit just to feed to drain through the life of the plant, get rid of the drainage, rinse and repeat. I think the point of that is to "flush out" unwanted salts (aka all the minerals in the water source and feed) that tends to collect. That's what I've been doing and it seems to keep the girls happy. You'll start to hone it in next couple of grows. From my more limited experience than others around here, the dry and cure stage of the process has tended to make the biggest impact on the end quality. This is a small part of it.

The real pro's are welcome to correct me, make clown faces, or whatever if I said something contrary to your experience. I'm all ears. Might even be clown ears for all I know. :bigjoint:

Well I feed them 2 litre mixed with 4ml per litre of ph perfect technology every 2 /3 days , so what would your recommendation be , 50 % of the feed ? Yeah I'm aware that's gonna be the make or break part , hopefully if I just keep it around 60% humidity with very little air intake and plenty time it will dry well , fingers crossed anyway !

Disregard what I said. I blacked out when I wrote it :eyesmoke:

On a serious note.. more important than flushing.. what’s your plan for harvest?
drying? Curing? That’s the real
Meat and potatoes..
If you fail to dry and cure right after even the best grown weed would be mids at best
all the bro science is background noise

Well from what I've read , I basically want to have my humidity at around 60% for drying , very small air intake and complete darkness for around 2 weeks , then cure for 10 days ?

A lot of these folks are messing with you. They also know WTF they're doing.

Maybe.

RE: PH Perfect schedule. I've used it on one grow. Pretty much same deal. Lower the overpriced nutrients (speaking from experience) depending on how your plants response. You're the only one that knows that part. Maybe just water a couple days before chop. It's up to you. Won't make a big difference.
