noob questions....

Can you veg for too long? Can you flower for too long? When you get to the flowering stage you cut back on the water given right? Do you also cutback nutrients? I hear people on RIU talking about flushing before harvest, when do you do this for what reason? Powder Mold, how do you get rid of it and whats the best way to prevent it. Thanks for the time and helping a noob out.

1. You can veg as long as you like unless you are growinmg an autoflower strain.

2. Yes, you can flower too long. You can reach a point where the thc starts to degrade after over ripening.

3. As in vegging, in flowering you have to let the plant tell you when it needs water/nutrients. Usually after the plants show sex in flower I switch over to flowering nutrients. Most people establish a schedule unless growing hydro where you follow a specific plan.

4. Flushing is done 1-2 weeks before harvest to leech out any salts that have built up in the root system. Not everyone chooses to flush.

5. I never had to deal with powdery mildew. I know that some people use a sulfur burner to remove/prevent it.

1. you can outgrow your area, after switching to flowering they will about triple in size, so put that into the equation when figuring how long you can veg for.
2. yes, thc degrades, but i doubt it will happen, its kinda ez to tell when they are done.
3. i dont know where people are hearing this but its bs;
4. same thing as above, you do want to switch to flowering nutes though.

flushing is supposed to make the plant use the chemicals in itself up by not giving nutes a weel or 2 b4 harvest/ blackstrap mollasses is good to add for the flush period, 1 tbl spoon per gallon of water.

hahahaha WHAT THEY ^^^^^^^^^^^^ SAID...............
