I flushed my plant before flowering... do you think a 8-16-8 liquid fert will be ok for the flowering period? Anyone...:jointsmile:

look for a 'Bloom' formula, available at any nursery or hardware store ... something with numbers like 2-6-6, or 2-8-4, or 0-3-1 ... the first number represents Nitrogen, which is more for growth, and can adversely affect flowering ... :smokin:

I just did it to make sure the soil wasnt acidic and didnt want the build up of any ferts messing with the production of the beginning flowers.. It was only a 3 day flush but i used alot of water , just make sure you have holes in the bottom of your pot and it really doesnt matter how much you saturate the soil with water... just dont do it all the time.. those are just my thoughts tho, im no expert.:weedpoke:

as long as fert are used in correct dilution there should be no acidic build up and the only thing the flush would do is deprive ur plants of food for a few days

only my 2p

good luck with the grow
