how come ya not gonna flush dragon? especially now ya using shooting powder that shit aint organic lol and even on the bio-bizz website they advise a wk of flushing.

ive tasted unflushed hydro b4 and it almost as bad as sprayed weed m8, taste funny, burns funny, smells funny.

to be honest mate i'm just not to sure about it, was just thinking a couple of heavy plain waterings. how do you go about it mate?

 

[las fingerez]

i just put my lady in the bath 2 weeks b4 harvest, put about 20L of plain water through so shed loads drains out of the bottom. then just resume feeding with plain water

(u can use some kind of flush chem if u want, if ur organic wont really need it)

that's the way to go mate, i did it all arse backwards germed the seeds and started researching and unfortunately i haven't had any help apart from the misses but i will say anything i've been stuck with you lads know so i don't feel to bad about it would be nice to have mates that grow though most of my mates can barely look after themselves lol

lol thats another thing ive been lucky with dragon ive got friends and family all doing the same thing some better at it most worst.

m8 im even setting my old man up a small op next wk lol it definatly dus help having other you can compare with and borrow lights etc off.

But apart from my friend the experienced soil grower this website has been my biggest help, i just always make sure i research whatever some1 tells me b4 i try it or buy it myself, i mean how hard is it to type whatever you want to no about into google or the search thing on this site.

to be honest mate i'm just not to sure about it, was just thinking a couple of heavy plain waterings. how do you go about it mate?

all we do is just give em plain water for at least 5 days and not even really heavy waterings either none of that in the bath stuff, im not knocking it i just no its not needed if you mainly using organic nutes, that last batch the 19oz from 4 that was flushed 4 6 days and it tasted fucking lovely dragon.

alright mate i can't see me taking them in the bathroom that would be a nightmare here i imagine they'd get damaged if i tried taking them through the house but cheers for the advice mate i'm not particuarly organic mate the shooting powders not organic and i fed them mg in the beginning

 

[sambo020482]

ive been looking into some more nutes that can be used in the final wks, http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Plant-Nutrition-90/General-Hydroponics-403/GH-Ripen-945.asp gonna giv this a try i think and also something called Overdrive, both are made for hydro i think but the guy at the grow shop recommended them as ok for soil also and small bottle of both are about a 5er each so thats cool, my only worry is im not testing my p.h and am a little worried they might make the ph go too low???

that's the way i'll go cheers mate taking them to bathroom isn't even an option in my house and it definately won't be an option later on

if ur not completley organic then ur gonna need 2 flush, theres many ways 2 skin a cat, but i always flush loads of water 2 get rid of the salt build up from the chems, otherwise there in the pot and the plant can take em up. u want the plant 2 use the nutes that are still in the plant, hense yellow leaves at the end...

m8 yellowing leaves at the end aint a good thing, read some of uncle bens threads in the advanced section he explains it alot better than i can.

yeah i will mate i was just going to give them water instead of nutes for the last wk i'll give them an extra watering or 2 now i got quick draining soil so shouldn't be a prob

 

[W Dragon]

yeah UB does keep it green til the end his mantra is something like healthy green leaves equals more or better buds

 

[W Dragon]

i was just thinking mate i'll definately try the bio soil i plan on using their range of nutes for a while and then after the next 1 start experimenting a little on a couple of them, it'll be a lot easier at the mo i'm having to buy and mix sand and perlite and it's £22 for a bag of each

 

[las fingerez]

cool bro, have u got a big tray or washing up bowl or something, maby do ur flush in there and throw that away save moving em to much? i've put my pots for my scrog on platforms, inside the big tray so when i flush i can just mop up the mess or something. i'm going mainly organic this time but gonna use hammerhead (strong pk) so want to flush all that rubbish out good luck what ever u choose 2 do mate, the biobizz grow i did was much tastier than the coco, although i got more on the coco! using canna bio flores this time, ment 2 be good 2.

many ways to do things but if i'm flushing for 2 weeks then i think its kinda normal for a little yellowing at the end, to me thats showing the nutes are completley gone as its moving the N out of the leaves using it elsewhere (buds?), thats why they turn yellow? hey is just my opinion, if u want green leaves at the end then cool, just i dont lol

i would highly recommend it dragon they are designed for each other, they keep more stable p.h etc when used in conjunction.

And make sure you get the heaven too it well expensive at like nearly 50quid a ltr but worth that money defo.

i do agree las that if your flushing for 2wks then ya gonna get yellow leaves and like you said theres many ways to skin a cat, personally tho i feel its better to keep the plant healthy for as long as poss, but each to there own.

also i dont like the idea of a long flush with no nutes when the plant is at a peak time and needing nutes.

i will do mate i like the bio bizz range so far my plants took well to it and i'm gonna start the new 1,s on it aswell i was gonna use the mg but i'm thinking keep it uniform and without all the sand and perlite it'll be worth it the sand lasts but the perlite goes nowhere and i can hide plain soil alot easier when getting rid of it cheers for the advice mate saves me a few £

 

[sambo020482]

no worries dragon, thats what this site is all about helping each other out m8. Heaven is spose to be used from the very beggining along with the grow it just increases in ml as they get older might be an idea to grab some when you got some cash for these chronic n g13.

i understand the yellowing mate with 2wks flushing i'm gonna try and keep em green but each to his own as you said and i always appreciate an answer to question, i can't wait to chop them down now
