flushing for a deficiency ?

[guerillaweedfare]

I've come to the conclusion that one of my girls is experiencing a Nitrogen deficiency about 3 weeks into flowering. I read that It's good to flush your soil with mild ferts to help fix the problem.

I recently watered her and she still doesn't feel like she'll need another watering for awhile. So should I wait until my soil is more dry before I flush her to not mess with the wet/dry cycle of the plant?...or should I go for it to get some N to her faster?

A flush means you flush all nutes out of the soil, you do this when you over feed. What you want to do is feed her some N. I would just feed her some N even if its still wet. Better a little over watering instead of a deficient plant

i don't think i've ever heard of flushing your soil with nutes/ferts. when you flush you wanna use straight water. 3x as much as the container your plant is in.

it's common for plants in flowering to have a N dif. but its a little early for it. try giving them a dose of veg nutes/ferts next time you feed them.

this is just how to treat a N dif in my opinion. if you can post a pic im sure you'll get alot of help identifing if thats your problem or not..

Alright ill just give her some more Nitrogen then. This particular plant has been growing like crazy compared to others so I'm sure she's just hungry. thanks for the advice

I always water the day before giving nutes. Nutes are easier handled in a moist soil than bone dry. I have lots of air so mine dry out quickly.

Rosebud, I've never heard of watering the day before feeding. Is this something that you read about?

After flushing some people water with a light nutrient solution, but what you want to do is different; you want to feed your plant.
