Rman, I'd ask someone in hydro/coco section. I'm a dirt guy!

Whew! Off work and at home!
Did you get an answer to your topping off question, Rman? If not, I'll track down an answer for you. Soilless may just be one of my next adventures, but I'm just so in love with soil (cue violins).

No I haven't asked got stoned and missed it bahaha
My first grow I did an ebb&flow system lets just say I learned a lot wasn't the best smoke and surly not much weight either.
This round has been pretty smooth minus the two times I flooded my bedroom actually three but don't tell no one k lmao

Day 70 update well me flooding the system more then once stunted one of the girls if not all of them in one way r the other but all n all I think it was a good grow gonna goat head and drain it tomorrow and flush might b a lil soon but looks like Cal/mag is hitting the girls hard or its cause they r @ that time and they r finishing up ? And any guesses how much ? Hope'N for 200 grams

It's hard to say with the LED's going, Rman, but could be Ca, Mg, and maybe some K def going on. It looks like you have some real rock stars going to town in there! How are those trichs looking?

Creamy bro was gonna give them a short week of the last week on the nute chart then hit them with a 2 day flush r should I go head n flush in a few days ? Since they r getting pretty bad on the leave ass

I go strictly by trichs to harvest, Rman. If you have a magnifier (I use a 40X jewellers loupe) below is a good guide of when to chop based on what you like to smoke. More amber means more couch-lock, more cloudy tends to grab you by the eyeballs and swing you around the room. I like an early cut head high, but that's just me.

As far as flushing goes, I give plain pH'ed water with good (15-20%) run off for at least 7 days, 10 days to 2 weeks is better (this is in soil, remember). That gets all the nutes out of your gals system, and vastly improves the taste and quality of your smoke. If you need to do a fast cleanse, SledgeHammer or something similar will work. I've never used it, but heard it really strips out those nutes.

Update well I just started my cleansing process I'm using GH florakleen so what's then general rule on how long to run the cleansing process how can u tell if they r cleansed

 

[Rman73]
