Are you in soil or Hydro? With soil I water as needed, the way I could tell is by the weight of the bucket. Silly I know but you can feel the diffrence. You dont want to over water due to root fungus. With Hydro, when I transplanted, I water them 5 times a day for a week then went down to 3 times a day.

the only time I flushed was a week before harvest, same way you did it up to harvest. I also gradually increased my nuits over time, I peaked about 1200 to 1400 ppm & came back down before flushing.

ppm means parts per million it how much nuits you are giving your babies. I just reread what I wrote you & you didnt even ask for that(my bad).

For example, cutting edge solution has nutrient calculator which tells me how much to feed the girls. You dont want to give the full amout(you put the girls in shock). So I take the number(In Veg stage it say to have 1400 to 1600ppm Cutting Edge Solutions (http://www.cuttingedgesolutions.org/catalog/nut_calc_4.php)) & divide by 4. So for the first week I only add a 1/4 of whats recommended. Second week I add 1/2, Third week 3/4 & fourth week, what it says. Then I go back down to 3/4 then 1/2 then 1/4. By that time its time to flush your girls.
