Hmmm....that sounds kind of extensive - doesn't surprise me that you lost some taste there. I just do one good flush and then give about a week without anything to finish off. I use molasses at about week 4 or 5 of flowering and just during the second last feeding, then it's just plain pH'd water from there on out. This harvest is going to be split up a bit as the Red Dragon has at least a week more than the rest and one of the AG plants is behind about a week as well.
Agreed - I think it all depends on how much and how often you give them nutes. I don't tend to feed my plants too much and still get decent yields. I try to go as 'organic' as possible and have always had clean tasting, white-burning results. The 'Final Phase' is probably not necessary but I like to think it helps! =)
I couldn't agree more guys - sometimes it's easy to look at it as a 'competition', and the goal shouldn't just be to get a large yield. I've learned so much these past 2 years since I started growing, and noticed certain subtleties make all the difference in not only quantity but also the quality of what you end up with. I'm just now going to attempt a hydro grow using a 'Waterfarm' and see what kind of results we get. Some say you can't get the same 'taste' from hydro as you can get from soil - we'll see. I know nutrients will play a much larger part with the Waterfarm than it did with the soil - but time and testing will tell.Agreed times 3, I probably could have had huge yields by now but I'm slowly learning on how to optimize my resources, it's not always about huge yields IMO. I'm sure I'll get there one day but for now I'm just focusing on getting my plants all the way through harvest with as little problems as possible
Happy Growing, I'm sub'd on both your grows
