Flush

[SubmarineGirl]

I go for the no water on the floors when I water as well.
I put visqueen down but I just don't like it..........it's messy.

I do have a thin plastic drip pan under my plants but they are never full of water unless I screw up and mis-count in a stoner moment and water one twice. I have done that

 

[pute]

Yeah but you can walk around them. I’d be sitting down in front of my tent for hours for that task pumping in and siphoning out.

I use a pump. Very little if no mess. I flushed two plants Thursday and I will flush two more tomorrow. Pain in the ***. But little things like this in fact make a difference in the end.

All that matter is you and if you're happy.........really cool thing about it.

Did I mention the fact that I am the most anal sob you have ever seen!

I flush. But keep in mind I am kind of a nonconformist here. Once I have gotten to know how long a plant usually goes until harvest I follow a simple pattern. I drop most supplements one month out, last feeding two weeks out and flush 10 days out. After that only r/o water.

Now with that said I use Advanced Nutrients which is a chemical base. I do it to remove salt buildup. Which I am told doesn't happen using organic nutes. So, flushing is not necessary. But there are many ways to do this.

So 30 days from cut you drop your Micro and bloom ?
Are you adding Overdrive at this point, what else before the last 2 weeks of water only?

 

[RosterMan]

Yup, piles isn't the right word though. More like 7 gal in.....7 gal out.

Do you add a flushing agent?

 

[RosterMan]

Yup, piles isn't the right word though. More like 7 gal in.....7 gal out.

But you are in coco correct

 

[RosterMan]

I don't move my girls one inch when I flush.

When I grew in coco I used a shop vac with plants in place
Sucking up run off as I flushed , almost filled 10gal shop vac each flush.

 

[pute]

I don't use Micro or Bloom. Connoisseur A & B. I start using Overdrive and drop Big Bud 30 days from harvest. I also drop Age Old Grow, Cal/mag, Epson salt and Glacial dust a month out. Bud Candy, Rhino Skin and B 52 a week later. Final feeding two weeks out and flawless finish when I flush. My medium is ProMix.

Confused.....me to!

 

[pute]

Like I said......ANAL. Labor of Love....laugh all you want...I GROW GOOD POT!

That is why I was asking Thks

 

[Hippie420]

ditto

but sometimes I feed right up to chop day…..sometimes

Hard to flush the outdoor in the ground grows without diverting the creek, and the indoor hydro grows get fed right up to chop time.

And I am one heII of a salesman. There is a difference!

I'm reading that as Scotchguard, undercoating, and extended warranties.

Not laughing here. I’m sure your pot is worth the trouble.

Is ProMix a soil or more of a hydro growing?

Coco built up salt faster then elephants snot.

 

[dogster]

Is ProMix a soil or more of a hydro growing?

Considered a soiless medium.

 

[pute]

Is ProMix a soil or more of a hydro growing?

Hydro and soiless are similar.

I made a lot of $$ on that ...... especially warranties. Don't forget finance.

 

[pute]

My customers all loved me though.....I screwed the other guy and passed the savings on to you....trust me!

Does it need to be wet all the time like coco
I mean you never want it to dry out on the roots
