Here's an under shot of all the buds I didn't have to lollipop :) man the cookies are cool, little certain things like not needing to lollipop that make the grow easier, they just fill out into little chunks of bud all the way down and when it's trim time, most of the buds I don't need scissors for, I just pull the leaf off by hand, saves so much time

Here's the Hugo block grow almost 2 weeks in, they about doubled in size so far, I'm liking the blocks much much better :)

Our cat is home!!! My neighbor knocked on the door and was like "you're cat that was missing was meowing like crazy walking up your driveway"!! She was gone almost 10 days I'm so happy she's back, she seems totally fine except she lost alot of weight, thank God she was a big chubby cat before she went missing! I think she got locked in someone's garage or something and then they went on vacation. Not sure but super stoked she's home :)

Thanks dudes, so happy she's back!! She's eating like a garbage disposal now lol

Alpha,

How do you flush? Week straight water?
If you don't over feed, you don't have to use only water, ever. I don't flush at all, I just lower ppm as needed for what the plant is eating. They eat less towards harvest time.

Heres some insight. When you flush, or use only water, you are actually putting more nutrients into the buds. See, you can't flush out nutrients out of the plant. Every time you water or feed, the nutrients go into the flowers.

The white ash is actually calcium and potassium I believe, so the more white it is, the more nutrients are in it.

Think of this. When you burn fire wood, if it's wet, it burns into black coals. If the fire wood is dry, it burns into white ash. Trees aren't flushed.

The white ash myth is rather funny, it just means there's more calcium and other elements in it (meaning it was definitely not purged of nutrients) .

Hope this helps :)

Oh before I forget, another tip.

Google "Flushing". You won't find a single article about Flushing, other than on mj forums. If you can find a single article that is from a university study, or anything other than a forum, please let me know! I've tried to find anything, even a scrap of info about Flushing that is from a reputable source such as a college study or peer reviewed study, a botany study etc, I couldn't find a single thing. Only posts from icmag, rollitup, thc farmer or similar forums. Nothing from people that study horticulture or wrote agricultural books. So imo, it is just one of those things that caught on for some people from hearsay I guess. Someone told someone (probably the first person that created the term Flushing over fed his plants, then didn't over feed, and said, well when I over fed my plants then gave them water for a while, it came out better. Something like that I'm guessing lol

It's hard to tell people this, they usually get really pissed off lmao. Even funnier, when an organic grower flushes, it's like whatttttt, every time you water you're activating your microbes to break down food into usable elements which is then absorbed into the plant lolol. Man, it's it's just a plant, there's no witch craft needed, just feed it, chop it down, dry it, and smoke it. Nothing else I'd needed. What does make a difference is nutrient profile I guess, but genetics is 90% of the outcome. And no, I'm not promoting expensive nutes, cheaper nutes the better, as long as they are doing their job :)
