If you really want to find out if its your well water just run a controlled experiment. 4 seedlings 2 on RO water and 2 on Well water. See if you get any conclusive results.

I would say that his analysis about the micronutrients is very relevant to your question tho..

If your going to preach about flushing / or not flushing, do it here. Dont spread your "ideas" like wildfire thats how "myths" are formed. :bigjoint::hump: Lets finish this or stop the preaching all together.

Keeping this thread alive!!! *BUMP*

Yeah if it were me I would continue to feed them until the last few days at least. I hope to learn more about seed breeding this year. So to me it is a very relevant subject.

No, I only assumed that the bud on a seeded plant may need more glucose to produce viable seeds and continue to grow somewhat (if the bud does continue to grow?..) not sure on that theory at all. If I could understand how long the seeds take to become viable from the point of pollination. At...

I am also no expert at seed breeding by any means. But I would imagine that feeding a seeded plant all the way up until the last week of harvest or even 3-5 days before harvest would be more beneficial for the seeds. Again im not an expert so I dont exactly know how or at what rate the seeds...

I have never bred. But have had plants seed on me. Even if I do end up flushing a seeded plant. I know that the bud is most likely not going to be up to the quality that I would want. So I would consider making concentrates out of it. not sure if this answers your question or not.

The plants themselves need nutrients to grow/repair. The nutrients are taken in through the roots as ions in the medium's water. To my understanding these ions or nutrients, are not converted into glucose or starch until photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast. Which means that at any given...

In the summer I bury fish carcasses about 1.5-2ft under my soil. After the fish decomposes over the course of a few weeks i plant directly on top. 6ft-10ft monsters every time. Im guessing there are a shit ton of worm castings after a few weeks. Not to mention all the nutes from the fish itself...

I cut lowers all the time. If it looks undeveloped and not getting much light its better to cut it off so the energy can be spent in places that can really use it. Like the tops or mids of your plants. You just have to cut wisely.

They look great. Lots of improvement since I last saw. What are your plans for training the plants?.. are you just going to stake them or trellis?

Im not here to argue what flushing does or doesnt do. I know through my experience what flushing really does to your flowers. If you think cutting the plants down with no flush doesn't effect taste thats perfectly fine. Keep doing what your doing i guess.

Are you serious?.. Nutrients are being used throughout the plant. The plant pulls water/nutrients from the xylem as well as through osmosis through the roots. Which means that the nutrients that are in the plant/flower are constantly being used and replaced. Your right in the sense that no...

Flushing is not just something someone developed over night. There is science behind it. Although you may know for a fact that many industries dont flush their crops. Not many industries produce a crop that you smoke. Im a firm believer in flushing out excess nutrients from the medium. By this...

I would start by flushing them really good. Then let them dry out before giving them a feeding, or even give them one more regular watering to see if they respond at all. If your plants are sitting in nutrient build up cutting the feed to half strength is not going to help in my opinion. Your...

they are stretching quite a bit but that may just be traits of the strains you are growing. Looks like they are responding to the light well.

The GDP phenos im working with tend to be extremely stout and bushy.

no no, im sorry about that. I thought you mentioned using a T5 in the first post. Yeah you definitely dont want a MH that close. I use a T5 at about 10-14" then after a few days or so transplant and throw them under 600w MH where they will remain for the veg duration. I like my plants to stretch...
