Im using g.h. non orghanic nutes on the recirculating schedule. I got 10 week strains and im at 7.5 weeks in and im gonna switch to the ripen tomorow. But what I dont understand the diffrence. Oh and to clarify im using the dry cool bloom insteadm of the wet for the ripen schedule is that correct also?

yeah! the dry Kool Bloom is a hardener don't let ppms over 500 unless plants beg for it and flush really really well. Please post your results. I am considering changing to this from my other ripen/hardener.

There is a dry Kool Bloom powder that you are to use after week 5 of bloom. It's a ripening agent and it really makes your buds pack some weight on, they also have the Liquid Kool Bloom which you start to use at the beginning of flower and all the way through. This is what I do and what GH tells you to do.

To answer your question yes you should start using the Kool Bloom now or should have started using it after week 5, use the liquid Kool Bloom too use that sucker all the way through untill you start flushing. Give your plants a good 7-14 day flush with just plain R/O water GH nutes are heavy in salts.

cools thanks a bunch gonna do that today. I got 17 days till the flush begins. I flush one full day a week. So Im gonn astart the dry kool bloom today with the wet. After the last day i FLUSH FOR MINIMAL OF 3 DAYS , 3 Times a day and usually the third day or so Im getting just water out of the plants. I always drain to waste on the flushes. Byh the third day their usually all have changed color Im assuming the ones that dont are still holdin on to some salts .

I do DWC and I always drain to waste too every 7 days. Yeah I cant knock GH nutes they are priced right and work well in DWC, however they are heavy in salt but that could be taken care of with a good flush.

aggressive and ripen the difference is aggressive is still during veg or flower up to 6th week after that it can be considered ripening from 7 and on basically waiting for THC and buds to fully mature.

Once they change color, they are flushed. I flush 3 days tops.
