Hey guys I have a real quick question about flushing. I use Fox Farm organic soil in tune with Fox Farm Grow Big mutrients. When I switch over to flower soon I will be using Tiger Bloom nutrients. Is a small flush inbetween cycles neccessary? Thanks

It's ok to flush anytime to get rid of excess salts and nutes, me I flush every 2 weeks or so, but not on a schedule at this point. I do flush when I switch the lights, followed by a 1/2 strendth dosage of Tiger Bloom on the first watering with Tiger Bloom.

Myflowering I go 4 tbs of Big Bloom and 4tsp of Tiger Bloom.

First week of flowering and last week before I flush I use 4tbs Big Bloom and 2tsp of Tiger Bloom, my logic behind the first watering is not over doing the nutes too early and the reason I go light before flush is so there is less to flush out..

Nico from HT magazine has a 3 day watering system which is: Water with nutes on day 1, Water with ph'd water day 2, no water day 3.

That is what I usualy do with nute doses. I just start out veg with grow big nutes, no nutrs for the seedlings. But after two weeks i use 2tsp of grow big an eventualy 3tsp. Im sure since there both fox farm products it wouldnt do much if i never flushed, I just feel that it wont hurt to flush.
What I think im going to do is a week before I change the light, light scheduel, and nutes watered with just reg distilled. Then add an additional week of only distilled water after changing the schedue ect. Then start gradually adding tiger bloom. Start out with 2 tsp gradualy up it to 3. I usualy never do more than 3tsp of tiger bloom per gallon. Fox farm gives me awesome results everytime.
