Thanks for the compliments guys Great Lakes,Tex, Gordy P,and my favorite Stoner Chuck, been a pleasure to grow this plant. It suprises me every time I open the doors. Very nice colas coming out of this thing.
As far as the Q's go: I flush for about the last two weeks or so. Depending on the size of the pot its grown in. Since this is'nt in the biggest pot I'm gonna give it a lil over a week of flushing with just PH adjusted water to leach out all the stuff I dont want in there. I've been looking into clearing solutions like Clearex which is made for leaching the soil. Maybe I'll try that soon and see if there is a noticable difference.
As far as the darkness thing goes.....I dont do it. It really does'nt make sense to me. Some people swear by it and more power to them, but my reasoning is why put the plant in dark when all I'm gonna do is chop it down and put it in the dark anyways. So why would putting in a closet or something for a few days be any different from chopping it down and putting it in the dark drying tub for a few days? See what I mean? But what I think they are going for is the increased trich production, which I think is stress induced. So instead of stressing the plants by putting them in the dark I just let them dry out completely which makes things a lil unbearable for it under the light which increases the overall trich production in relation to heat stress. A day or so of that and I chop down.
The nutrients I use are Pure Blend Pro for the most part and certain ammendments. For my soil runs I used Ocean Forest soil with 30% Perlite and about a cups worth of Worm Castings. Nitrozyme for root developement, Liquid Karma for overall health (great stuff). Silica Blast for hardiness, and a bit of TLC to top it off. I started off at 1/3 strength then ramped it up accordingly. The plant will tell you if its too strong or not. So be sure to keep an eye on what the plant tells you. As far as foliar spray goes, I use the Nitrozyme as my foliar spray and give it a dousing once a day (under the leaves). Misting with Carbonated water I heard helps because the carbonation evaporates into C02 and we all know C02 is like steroids for plants. I water each plant with the same exact amount every time so that I know when I need to water and what is taking up more than the others. So in a nutshell thats my whole soil process, but not anymore I'm going back to HYDRO! So Goodbye Dirt!
Whew I wrote all that? Hope that helps and if ya need anything else Gordo just let me know.
