Hey organic growers! I’m in the home stretch on my first organic grow and it’s been pretty great! I am wondering what some more seasoned members thoughts are on fertilizing in late flower through to harvest. I personally believe flushing your plants in the interest of improving taste or removing “chemical” taste whether synthetic or organic grown is a misunderstanding and incorrect as flowers do not store nutrients.
That being said I’ve read some good opinions on allowing the plant to fade and finish on their own and have followed a few growers that allow this to happen.
I am using Gaia Green dry amendments, I have noticed my two hungry white widows looking like they want some more calcium and maybe other nutrients and have been tempted to top dress with some EWC and kelp meal or a tablespoon of 2-8-4 bloom dry mix so that I ensure they are getting everything they need to finish out, just as I do in synthetic feeding - disregarding the “flush” methodology. They have about a week to a week and a half left.
I’ve grown some good flowers with synthetic nutes that had no harshness after a good dry and cure with feeding right up to a day or two before harvest.
Not looking to stir up a flushing fight, but like to see what some other organic growers do. Thanks in advance!
