Now they smell very strong! I started the flush today until the harvest, I think 10 days. The trichs are still clear and the some pistils become to be brown, like 10%. They are quite sane for over ferts plants, look at the leaves and they keep on getting bigger everyday. 10 days more :D

In the other chamber, the ak47 and sensi skunk 5 weeks into 12/12. They have experienced an over ferts problem and now they are in a curing flushing mode. 3 days with plain water PH 6.0, every day i have to lower it. They drink more now that they have been flushed. How long do i have to flush them ? AK47 is very very well trichomed, for 5 weeks. And the buds are getting thicker now after having stretched. The smell is not that i've heard, my skunk special smells alot more. The leaves are a little burnt by ferts, but i hope it's the last time it occurs.

Like Ph of 5.8 there is no real Mn uptake, Fe is reduced and so it B & P & MG. By playing with the Ph you are playing with fire. If you do it right you can fly through a grow and have results others can only dream of.
How long time must i flush them before giving them food again before final flush, please ?

wow zandor, that's great knowledge. Tell me.... what is your pH "regimen" as to certain pH at certain stages. I have a constant pH monitor, and although I get a slow steady rise in pH especially after a nutrient change, I keep between 5.6 and 6. I would love to know what you recomend for all phases from seed to harvest as to exact pH and when.
Fhydro....where did you get your skunk special?? Do they come feminised too?
from the same breeder as your grape fruit, femaleseeds.nl. I read your threads because you have strains from female seeds that i've never tried. Anyway this is a fucking good breeder ?
Fhydro
hell yeah. 4 out of 4 Grapefruits germed. They are so big and strong that I had to give 2 away due to lack of space. The Easy Bud is short but FAT and good for lack of height and space in a grow room. The EB seemed to be a bit more sensitive and "needy" to optimum conditions (proper pH and light, and temo). The GF seems to be a no brainer!!!
Female Seeds .nl just sent me an email about a new strain they carry now. I asked for a Hash Plant or similar and they sent me an email that they now have Hash Plant x Northen Lights. You have to try it!!!!!!!! I will definitely try for my next grow starting mid september. we should both try at same time and compare notes!!!!
Your skunk specials look AWESOME dude. I would try them myself but I have to have low odor strains for my stealth cabinet. By the way, the EB has little to no odor yet and the Grapefruit, well, the Grapefruit smells like grapefruit!!!!!!!!!
