First time LST

Little update. Starting to get very frosty

I think this weekend is the chop weekend. I know its hard to tell but please let me know if you think otherwise.

One take away for me is to learn how to prevent the leaves from turning yellow. I keep seeing others posting pictures of beautiful green plants and this is my second grow indoor where the leaves are all yellow and crispy/dying.

I actually have 2 lol but my eyes suck so i bought the recommended digital one, it seems they are all milky but no amber.

flushing and 3 days dark (if you do this) will add time.. 7 to 10 days depending how long you want to flush...

 

[ponzi314]

Isnt flush required when using nutes? Is that still required when using live soil?

 

[changeofpace2014]

Good question...and point...Some one here will be able to answer that for you if you post that question..I use GH Floral Trio and Floral Nova depending on the season.

Flushing is a good way to rid soil of an overabundance of nutrients but will do nothing in regard to removing them from plant tissue. There is a lot of fuzzy science articles out there about flushing benefits but they just don't stand up to empirical evidence. This link will help understand why it doesn't work. https://atrium.lib.uoguelph.ca/xmlui/handle/10214/12125

+1 crucialbunny flushing is great when you have certain problems at the roots but the science behind it for doing it prior to harvest is bullshit. It doesn't stack up.

 

[changeofpace2014]

Just to clairify Bluey It sounds like you are stating flushing before harvest is B.S -

 

[Bluey]

IMHO, yes.
