First Time Hydro!

[Runamok]

Thanx all... Harry... fwiw ??

yea...I'm letting her go....just wanted to know WHEN to flush and how long.

I mean...if I let it go another 2 weeks and I need a 10 day flush, Do I start the flush in 2 days ? or wait and then do the flush...

The last batch I think I could taste nutes...so I REALLY wanna make sure this one is flushed well to get the best taste I can... see ?

Anyway... at least I know to use just plain water. when I DO start the flush...

As always, any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Peace

Oh, sorry Runamok. Yeah, fwiw is "for what it's worth." I guess I'm too lazy to type that out sometimes. I'm so accustom to just using the initial letters for certain phrases. Like, afaic = "as far as I'm concerned" or afaik = "as far as I know".

To your question, there sure seems to be lots of opinions regarding flushing but I think one thing you need to consider is how long do you want your plants to go without nutes. It would seem to me to be more important when using hydro. With soil it takes time to use up the nutes and organics in the soil are always making new food. If it were me and I were using hydro, I wouldn't let me plants go for more than 3 days without nutes, especially at the end. I know zilch about hydro but starving them for a week at the end doesn't sound like a good idea, afaic.

Found the thread. Do you flush before harvest ;-)

 

[Runamok]

Well...I just flushed for 4 days and cut her.
She went 47 days 12/12 and I'm happy personally
with the yeild and the few small buds I've tried so far.
As the buds are drying in the cabinet, it'll be 2 more days
or so till I can put the Swamp Grass under the HPS.

If anyone is interested , I'll be starting the Swamp Grass thread soon.

Thanx for all the help with this plant...

Peace
