Feeding Question?

[Insight]

I've been using the GH Flora Trio at half strength and everything looks great. No signs of toxicity or nute burn.

My question is...How important is the Plain H2O feeding? I'm getting ready to switch to flowering and have not done the Plain H2O feeding...is it necessary? or should I just continue with the feeding schedule?

Thanks

According to Robert B once a week is sufficient for feeding. I feed every other day. They will like pure h20 also makes it easier on you. Make sure ck the PH.

The theory of the plain water is that plain water will rewet the medium and allow the roots to continue to use the nutrients that are built up in medium and plant...it also helps flushing built up salt content from medium..there is also a flushing/stripper solution you can use with water to do the same thing but better. I generally feed twice then plain water w/ a silica additive...then repeat process..I throw in a strip/flush at least 2-3 times a month as well..

Hope this helps...

Yes it does..Thanks much....I'll use the FloraKleen.

Floracleen will lower ph in grow medium so keep an eye on it. when I flush with flora I re flush with plain water afterwards to get the flora out

I use this..works great



Of course you ph all solutions you use.

Green75 Just to confirm bro, you pH the solution after adding the Florakleen/Clearex, correct? I'm in soil, so pH to 6.3.
Or should the pHing be done before adding the flushing agent?

Any details you can provide on using a flushing agent would be very highly appreciated, as I have bought FLoraKleen and am scheduled to use it the day after tomorrow, but the instructions are very vague. How do I use it? How often? And do I flush with plain water after adding the flushing solution?
Over a 2 week flush, when and how often I should I be using florakleen is my main concern.
(This is for the final pre-harvest flush btw)

Thanks bud.

[Green75]

Yes..ph after add agent...The stuff I use say every day on harvest week till 20-40% runoff

Soil..up to 6.5. No more.. 6.3 is great

Thank you so, so, so much man!! Love the info. You're a hero! Gonna apply your knowledge tomorrow. Can't wait.

PS. I got really impatient after trying to research florakleen on the internet for the last hour and a half, so ended up making a new thread here on the topic. I posted it before I noticed that you had responded to me.

So i'm sorry about that. I don't want you to think that I disregarded your information. I just got impatient while waiting and made a thread, lol. XP
