Oh really?
lyIf you have everything dialed in you could use Miracle Grow and end up with big buds.

thanksYeah your bud size will depend on a number of things not just nutrients. If everything else is in order, temps, humidity, lighting, ventilation, medium, pest control, etc you could use just about any nutrients (proper dosage obviously) and be rewarded
Hi,,,,,I think is because of the flushing and The soil maybe ?i bought cheap soil to start ,,,does soil brand make a difference,?i used flora trio,,,the ones I messed up I think is because I waited to flush too late when the bud had like no more white hairs then ,,the buds were becoming brown and shrinking ,,I pruned too much before too I think it it didn't help,,,,,when do you think I should start flushing them judging by the red hairs %?do I flush only when I start seeing yellow leafs?the Taste was awful and the smell lol and I cured them like I read ,,to open the jar 3times a day 10mins first week then once every few days then once a week ,,for 6 weeks ,,was that ok?thanksWhat do you think went wrong with the seeds that you lost money on, just curious? How much light do you have/what is your environment like? temps and humidity?
That'sWhy do you want to start flushing your plant?
best curingThat depends what type of promix you use. The flower potting mix is way too hot, nutrient wise, I use the "herb & vegetable" mix and it still has too much nitrogen for some sativas. It'll work well for indicas, though some might show some clawing of the bottom couple of leaves. If you're using that kind of promix you don't need to feed your plants for at least a month, usually for me a couple of months. After that you look to see any signs of deficiency and feed from there. There are a couple of types that, as Renfro says, are almost nute free. With those you'd need to feed from the first week.
I had a nitrogen excess with one grow and it caused small buds, the other plants of that strain were in different soil and buds were decent size.
Forgot to say, I don't flush. Cure is more important for taste/smooth smoke.
I juTricomes are the way to find out. Anything else is mental masturbation.
So everybody saying that is b.s??seriously??Flushing. smh... the great myth of flushing.
if you use pro mix it's a peat based potting mix that won't provide nutrients persay so you will have to use nutrients. Some people like the Jacks nutrients, cheap, I prefer GH three part, gives me excellent results, massive yields and excellent quality... whatever you choose if you are in pro mix you should run a pH of 6.5 - 6.8.
When you water/feed you should get about 20% runoff out the bottom of the pot to prevent salt buildups. An adult plant will take a feed of somewhere around 1000 - 1200 PPM. If using RO water you will need a calmag product. Calmag gets added first, then micro, grow and bloom if using the flora trio. The chart I put on here is for a 30 gallon mix, so you can divide by 30 to see how many ml/gal. Products are added in that order as well, the Armor Si goes first, then Calimagic...

I hope that answered a few questions for you.[/QUO
The smell of the weed in the jars is the best indicator of whether or not you're opening the jars often enough or too often. It'll also let you know if it was too wet or too dry when you put it in. A lot of the things you read about soil grows seem to have come from guys who started in hydro. Most of it won't hurt your plants, but some of it is unnecessary.[/QU
I don’t flush anything. It’s not necessary and I think can screw up the end product. The plant needs food until you chop it. You just roll your feeds back or feed followed by water. In peat based mediums.You
You don't flush??first time I hear that,,,,yea I use the vegetables one ,,,so I don't give nutes for the first month with this one?also ,,the website who sold me the seeds Idk what to think cause some of the same Strains plants looks different ,,some flowered without me doing the 12/12,,,why?do I need to put those in flowering when that happens?thanks
Tommy I wouldn’t worry about the hairs they don’t tell you shit what you need is a jewellers loop you need to look at the all important trichomes they after all are why you grow weed.if you flush when they are turning milkey they will be ready after the flushHi,,thanks for your reply,,,oh really?cause I was reading on other threads that your supposed to start flushing when it's 10%brown hairs...so I have to wait until all the hairs are red to start flushing?do leafs become yellow when its time to do the 2 weeks flush,,or it's not related?i have multiple plants right now of Bruce banner ,durban,,skunk and Girl Scout cookies ,,but I just need to know signs on the plant when it's time to do the last 2week flush.?i don't have a magnificent glass atm,,the plants I was enquiring about are all red hair but on some the buds look small,,there's not really any yellow on leafs jut a few spots,,should I flush it now?i was about to do that tomorrow and to stop giving nutes///yea some said flora trio is ok,,but when I see te results of the ones using advanced nutrients it's like day and night ,I mean their buds are so huge lol someone showed me plants he used with fox farm and sensi bloom and it's was huge ,,,can I add nutes or any stuff with the flora trio?it seems the buds don't get too big with it,,I only bought it cause it was cheap to start but now I'm thinking of buying more expensive nutes for better results ,,and what is the best soil to grow with?,let me know what you think,,,thanks!

I use Miracle Grow exclusively on my White Widow grows. I top them once and let them go under a 600 watt MH/HPS.If you have everything dialed in you could use Miracle Grow and end up with big buds.
They mean a great deal. They tell you allot. They even tell you when to start checking the trics if ur so inclined. You dont want them "turning Milky" at all, You want them all miky or turning amber.Tommy I wouldn’t worry about the hairs they don’t tell you shit what you need is a jewellers loop you need to look at the all important trichomes they after all are why you grow weed.if you flush when they are turning milkey they will be ready after the flush
From seedling to the end of veg for organic what ever pot size you use 1/3 worm casting the rest compost then from week 2 of flower top dressing with organic bloom fertiliser once then water till they are ready you see simpleSo you can grow with organic soil and no use of nutes?is that soil way more expensive compared to promix?
Everyone does it differently m8 personally I’m organic and don’t flush but synthetic nutrients are differentThey mean a great deal. They tell you allot. They even tell you when to start checking the trics if ur so inclined. You dont want them "turning Milky" at all, You want them all miky or turning amber.
Why are you telling him to flush for?
Ignore this guy.really bad advice
Exactly the nutrient companies are as bad as the pharmaceutical company’s.i use Remo’s nutrients for Dwc they are good but way too expensive.cheap doesn’t mean badI use Miracle Grow exclusively on my White Widow grows. I top them once and let them go under a 600 watt MH/HPS.
I use the general purpose for veg and tomato formula for flower.
Never had a problem. I net 6 ounces per plant without really trying with buds just a tad smaller than the size of a ping pong ball.
