thanks people. what little as to the 'why' I knew was that it made the bud taste a bit iffy. Obviusly this is circumvented by not using it for the flowering process. This is what I had in mind, the onyl reason I'm using it becuase it has been under my sink for 6 months collecting dust lol Thought it was at least worth a go before I went out experementing with nutes.
I did originally use organic soil but the ammount of creepy crawleys in it was shocking. So for this grow organis is OFF the cards. Maybe next time when I actually have a better idea
I can relate to the 'more is better' idea, so is it merely people cracking in mega loads of the mix into thier water where this badness comes from? I watched my bro pile it into a watering can for his own garden plants, but the mixture I have is 1.25g per litre. When mixing it it makes you unsure if it will have any nutes in at all!
Is it a bad idea to stop nutes all together when I start flowering?
