Post those shits kid.I grow too, mainly ibls or pure indica pure sativa, I hate hybrids ( unless its like 70/30) right now I'm in the agonizingly long transition stage of moving from an unfriendly state (they keep lying to us and saying they're gonna do something yeah right) to Colorado but its so expensive building a house from scratch! If you wouldn't mind old pics I can post some droolers from what I've grown!
I think this would actually be an OK area of the forum for a talk about this, without it devolving into trolly flame-war territory.oh yeah... I wanted to stir up some controversy too... cuz that's just how I roll. my professor, that has a doctorate in plant science, runs greenhouses at the school as well as hundreds of acres of different crops.... Every professional nursery in California Leaches their soil to remove excess salts. flushing as weed growers like to call it, is very very important. leaching the soil every month is imperative to growing healthy plants. you can buy soil test kits online. also leaching your plants one to two weeks before harvest will greatly improve taste and quality of the smoke. I have a 250$ plant science book and a doctor with decades of experience that proves it.
yes it does kill microorganisms , but you just add more. that is the beauty of Agro environment . control.
I agree as well and MIR once every few weeks. Your just saying a couple weeks before harvest you do that or are you saying you flush all the way up to harvest? Personally I still hit them w/ nutes or however the schedule falls.oh yeah...

the nutrients. can't effect flavor of the smoke . the buds won't take it up . I'm sitting in class and literally asked the professor two minutes ago ... you have to leach every few feelings to lower the PPMs of the salt that builds up. the high salt content will kill microorganisms and lock out nutrient uptake . so you can use the sufficient amount of nutrients in each feeding. I like to use nutes 4 times then just water. I'm using soiless mixI agree as well and MIR once every few weeks.

Thats interesting I have never tried that but I will now. Not calling you a liar but I would rather see it myself as only 4 feedings just seems low to me. What ppms are you mixing your nutes at? I use soiless as well and have noticed if I go much more then 3-4 just waterings (r/o 6.0) Especially in flower the basic onset of deficiencies will start to appear in my leaves.the nutrients. can't effect flavor of the smoke . the buds won't take it up .

ok, the blue cup has no salt. the yellow is salted. the salt build up effects capillary action. too much salt slows down capillary action so your plants will get less water and nutes. water defies gravity with capillary action. the more salts your medium has the slower the uptake........ so if you are feeding your plants correct amount of nutrients then you must leach every so often. there is an old time grower on here, and I'm not gonna mention names , that tells everyone flushing is for toilets ... he claims he is a production crop grower and this and that . he also says it's ok to use tap water and he never PHs his water solution... this is bogus And ignorant. I am wondering if he is a DEA agent now because of all the bogus info. he has a lot of followers on RIU... it's unfortunate so many listen to him.Thats interesting I have never tried that but I will now.

why would anybody need that much weed? lol you sell pounds and shit to dealers don't ya?almost to end of week 4 flower on The White. the wifi stretched a shitton and is going into week 3
When I used to grow. That was the way I used to do it.the nutrients. can't effect flavor of the smoke . the buds won't take it up .

Don't become an RIU terrorist and start blowin' up spots kiiiddd.why would anybody need that much weed? lol you sell pounds and shit to dealers don't ya?
