Flushing

[nici]

Hi everyone. Ive got some Poison Dwarf on the grow atm (auto flowering strain), in a mixture of perlite, coco and soil. The reason for all three is apparently autos do better in soil but can be more proned to root rot hence the mix of perlite and coco.

I read somewhere that flushing should be done at least once a week in soil to get rid of the salt build up. Should it be this often considering its an auto strain and only has about 2 weeks veg and 8 to 10 weeks flower? Im using about 40% soil, 50% coco and 10% perlite; special sauce and molassas mix for the first 2 weeks (special sauce is my home made fert concentrate using a Bokashi bucket - potant stuff at about 1:100!), then Canna-bio flores and molassas for the rest of the cycle.

 

If not once a week for the flush then how often? Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

cheers.

i flush every second or third nute change in recirc. pots usually every 3 weeks or when you see the signs of nute burn from toxic levels of salt in the medium, e.g- slowed growth, rust spots on leaves that go crunchy. all the best, hope that helps.
