Yup slings a good guy we been talking N swappin a long time,don't get to hang as much as we'd like but we AZ boys gotta stick together! I think the reason I like all organic/high brix is you can have nutes a plenty in the soil right up to harvest and it does not impede flavor at all quite the opposite best flavor I've ever encountered, ,the girls look great MC should be a happy harvest!
I'm on this same journey Mack. The difference is I plan on leaving out the nutes & molasses as RACHEL SUAVAY (White Widow X Skunk) is planted in "PROFESSIONAL GROWERS MIX" which states it's complete with no need to add anything but water. On the other hand LAVERNE (Re-Veg) and STACK A. DOLLAR (Delicious Cotton Candy) or both in NYC compost. LAVERNE appears healthier in re-veg than she did the whole time on her original go round and STACKS just keeps growing, maybe an inch or 2 a day. I'm going to have to drop the shelf in the tent soon. If it aint broke don't fix it.
Hi mcloadie, I never flushed my plants at all (they were fed an organic fish based fert until 10 days before the chop). I accidentally sampled a bud the day after their last feed and let me tell you there is nothing like a fish flavored joint.
Ugh, I had to toss it.

A week later they only tasted sweet. My plants were pretty starved by the end- lots of yellow leaves. Doesn't the organic ferts lack of salts mean that there is less residue to be washed from the soil? I was under the impression that the organic nutes were more or less digested in the soil to make it adsorbable by the plant. I would hate to think I've been smoking fish guts all this time.
I was under the impression that a flush meant gallons of water being rinsed thru the plant.
You sound so excited Mcloadie!
Can you remind me what week of flower you are in purty please?
Good Weed Mc
Mr Squirryl has bananas in his buds!
What do you think about that?
OK, I got the holes dug...what af'n job! I made seven holes, that measure 36" round, and 16" deep. The top 12 inches is much like a clay/sand mixture that is very hard. I live in an ancient flood plain, and that's where the strata is at this point in time. The bottom 6" is like sandy pea gravel and drains like magic. These holes are 6' apart on center. They are located in an area that gets 6-8 hours of full sun a day, which should be enough light given the intensity of the sun at my location...combined with the fact that the air here is very clear and clean. The soil will be a combination of; soil base...from a local nursery, horse manure- composted for years, humus mix...which I'm not quite sure what that consists of yet, and bat guano.....high N. When I get the stuff made I'll try to get more specific with the amounts. I mean it's a soil that has a description as much as a recipe....how to make it and what to look for when getting the correct texture and pH. I'm also gonna throw a good amount of perlite in. This will be an auto watered rig at least...possibly auto fed, I'm looking at injectors........if it happens it will be a diy setup...low cost. That's all for now, I'm interested to see what you folks think of my plan.....I value your feedback.....really!
