      Thanks very much, I'm so grateful to post pics of a full garden. It's because of this site and everyone's help. I plan to post a journal once I'm finished to pass on lessons learned, good and bad. Knowledge is power and the best thing someone can do is pass it on! Cheers and happy growing.

      I have several plants in DWC setup, 5 gallon buckets, 4 different strains, which will finish at different times. Not sure what to do about flushing. If I flush for the ones that will be done first, it may be too soon for the plants left in the system. Any ideas?

        Which is why you want to try to grow plants that all finish flowering around the same time, so that the flushing is right for all of them.

        On my last grow, I had 5 different strains until Green Crack turned out to be a boy, so he had to go. When I harvested, three were ready but the Chemdawg definitely wasn't ready. I harvested it anyway. I THINK it gave me a headache when I smoked some. Gotta try again.... But not today...

        I do totaly agree but if he has no other option then that's what he's gunna have to do to help that smoke. Yes flushing has a lot of benifits and yes I do recomend it but if he has no other option it's not like it will kill his plants u just gotta find the Brite side of the bad situaion

      I'm not very exsperinced with dwc but I would assume it would be the same princibles as soil the last flush gets all the salts and build up out of the roots and also the nutes this way more choraphyll gets pulled out of the buds. Without a flush u have to cure longer to get that choraphyll out. Chroryll makes for a harsh smoke

        But the flush isn't about chlorophyll; it's about getting all the chemicals out and getting a nice, smooth smoke and a white ash.

      I do agree it's to get all the Chem nutes salts sulfites and by flushing out the nutes (nitrogen) included the nitrogen will start to get rid of the cloriphyll. In the plant as well just like all the other things being flushed out along with more chroliphyll so this way u do have a smoother smoke but yes choriphyll also give u a hash smoke just like the rest of the stuff flushing out

            Just harvested one of my plants I put in soil next to my DWC plants. I was going to cull her but my wife suggested to throw in dirt and see what happens. Really glad I did. I mentioned before that I only treated her like a house plant and her nutrients came from my DWC reservoir, so it wasn't ph,d quite right for soil. it was an experiment and I hope it should show anyone who is considering growing but nervous about their first run that it's realatively easy, don't be scared and go for it! Next time I try soil, I will take my info from the GWE site for sure. Also, these soil plants I squeezed in didn't really have a good seat at the table either, but still produced. Nothing huge, but I'm happy with it as it was my first real grow too.
            peace!

              DWC = deep water culture or hydroponics

              Sean Winchester If your plants have been looking ok, you're probably ok. Go over to GWE and look up your growing medium (I can't remember what you're growing in): you'll find all the info you need.
