New study into flushing

[pedro de pacas]

I don't give a fuck what the study says, anytime you give them fresh water ya flushing them

you are reducing the amount of salts and root exudes by diluting them, its the same thing

 

if you have to much left over salts in ya reservoir, your plants will never reach there potential

[pedro de pacas]

Here is a little experiment for you lot

try growing ya DWC, recirculating, RTW or Areo, with out changing the res or having fluids running out the bottom of the pot, I.E. no run off at all

use all the fresh water you want during the grow/flower

 

let me know how ya go, put a pic of your plant up, lets have a look at it

How will the plant put on a heap of weight in the last two weeks, if ya just give it water and don't feed it ?

Not sure if you noticed but I only changed my reservoir once in flower and absolutely zip through veg.... They stopped uptaking nutes in the last week and half / two weeks. Ec stayed at 0.6 for days just topping with plain water and then decided to flush completely with 0 EC water at the end.

I have been growing indoors in soil for a long time and all i know is what works for me

 

For every second feed of nutes i give them a plain water/flush to help get rid of some of the salt build up and then when it comes to harvest time about a week before i just give them plain water.

Is there a point your trying to make ?

I think I get what you're getting at Pedro, I'll use mine as an example. Rdwc no res change start to finish, purely out of laziness. She looked good to begin with but absolute shit at harvest, never seemed to want to finish and kept throwing white hairs all whilst the leaves kept dying. Even using just plain water did not stop it going downhill. There were salts caked onto the sides of the buckets, should have taken a pic. I've seen other peoples' plants at harvest with zero burn, not even tips, and just the nice fade. I'd like to get to that one day, so I think I've learnt my lesson.

As do yours
