  4. Okay thanks bro and i just posted all the info on my box.
     
  5. Do i need to flush or anything?
     
  6. No I wouldn't worry about flushing until you are ready for harvest. Just gradually change your nutrients and watch for any yellowing in the fan leaves. Or you can simply skip a week of feeding.
     
  7. Yeah i think that is wht i will do just water for a week then start thr flower feed thanks for the input
     
  8. No problem. Keep us posted with pics and updates.
     
  9. Day 2 of flower
    The clones are looking good growing still i did let them wilt so the Sour D are looking droppy and might also cuz of 12/12 schedule change and i did water all the girls today.

  12. The only time that you need to give the plants only water is in the first week in soil and thats cause it already has nutrients inside the soil. Only time you need to flush is at the end of the harvest or if you nutrient burn your plants. IMO it would be a very bad idea to not feed them for a week, your plant wants and needs the nutrients to start the budding sites quicker. There are specific nutrients for that for almost every brand of nutrients and they only tell you to use it the first two weeks of flower. I say go ahead and give them a feeding at 1/4 to 1/2 the strength the nutrients say to use and you will be fine. If your really worried just keep an eye on the plants (seems like you already do) and you will see nutrient burn with in the two days after watering if it happen. I'm 99.9% percent positive that it will not nutrient burn. What nutrients are you using anyways
     
  13. Thanks for that info Mocakes but i am using recipe of success kit, for soil it says to do Feed,Water,Water,Feed so that is what i am going to do or should i do the 1/4-1/2 feed?
     
  14. looking good. Your thumb is greener than mine
     
  15. I say 1/2 strength every watering since their basing it off full strength 2 times a week. I was doing the fox farm trio and powders and they told me to do 15mL of big bloom and 10 mL of tiger bloom 2 times a week. At first i was doing it 1/2 strength 2 times a week and eventually stepped up to to almost full strength 3 times a week. My point is that the schedule is more of a guideline. Fox Farm were decent nutrients to, the recipe for success kit I'm pretty sure is general hydroponics and IMO, and all my homies that do commercial and non commercial grows, general hydroponics are the most basic/worst nutrients to use. So because of that I would think they wouldn't be that strong therefore making it harder for nutrient burn but better safe than sorry so again start with 1/2 strength every watering or at least 3 out of the 4 waters at first and gradually step it up until you see nutrient burn. Keep a journal if you don't already so if it gets nutrient burn you know how much is to much. Its all trial and error my friend just flush right when you see a burn. oh I forgot to put I only did three waterings a week so basically every watering
     
  16. Thanks psycicmind!what do you have going?
     
  17. So your saying feed everytime i water??
     

  18. yeah at 1/2 strength and you should be fine and if you want, raise it a mL or two every week until you see burn or until you reach the full the strength that your schedule says. If you see a burn use only water that is the correct Ph flush it out and lower the dosage. Like I said its all trial and error and keep a journal. You should look into some Advanced Nutrients or Dutch Master for your next grow, those are the best nutrients on the market and you will see a huge difference in just about everything.
     

  19. I changed my mind on the full strength, to stay on the safe side don't go above 3/4 strength even if you don't see burn IMO of course. You can obviously do whatever you want with your grow but anywhere between 1/2 to 3/4 strength and you should be good.
     
  20. Seems like feeding every watering will be to much but then again this is my first grow so i dnt know much.
