Cheers for your advice buddy what you say rings true this is my only 4/5 grow I think but I’ve grew up around it with uncles and cousins and I’ve always knew how to grow it’s just needed my own place now I’ve had it for 8 year now but my ex’s wouldn’t let me grow where now I have a girl that isn’t bothered about me growing.
Anyway, In my experience when I’ve been flushing before I flush them in the bath with 10L off water each and you can literally see all the brown Shit coming out off the coco out the bottom, So the coco obviously holds something I don’t think I would never smoke without flushing I wouldn’t really want to smoke fertilised weed but what I have noticed when flushing is all the leaves turn yellow and start to crumble off I suppose to this matches up to what you are saying is in the plant using up all it nutrients??
No worries buddy ,yeah theyre definitely is shit built up in the medium at the end for sure , same with soil I suppose.
Yeah youll see them eat leaves once in a while here and there , usually top or bottom ones , but when you start to flush BOOM you get the whole thing madly start to eat its leaves , in my experience this happens late enough in flower anyway , and all those nutrients surely are being sucked out of the leaves and whatever can be moved to the buds/flowers is being so.
Flushing mediums for re using and re adding fertiliser , or nuked the shit out of them with nutes? YES I can completely see that , but after seeing them do what they do when they get flushed anyway at the end......I wasnt so sure it was worth doing.....now im almost solid its a no no for me , they really do seem to do exactly the same thing if left long enough to be properly ripe , they definitely know they are doing to die and its one last ditch effort to get everything into as many flowers as possible.....flushing seems to only force this process imo
Just gave my lot 3ml bio bloom , top max and bio heaven from biobizz with their last feed , cut out the 1ml grow because of the slight nutrient burn , in a few days I can already see them eating some leaves because theyve got much less nitro than theyre used to I guess , 14 weeks along with these autos I mean theyre getting there , could just be that , dont think its a coincidence though. I use fresh biobizz all mix soil every run , thankfully the used stuff gets recycled (and its still amazing soil apparently lol)
Had some fuck ups when younger , only recently started again , on my 6th grow with this setup , lessons still keep coming thick and fast hehe
