I am in the middle of drilling holes in pots for proper drainage and when I went to add distilled water to plants, water drained out the bottom(alot). Good right? I had 1 pot so I drilled 4 holes in the bottom, and 12 holes on the sides,meaning 6 in the lower part of the pot, and 6 more 4 inches above the other holes. Good drainage. So I plan on flushing tomorrow, and after I flush do I wait till soil is dry then start regular feeding of PH'd nuted water?
I will flush in 2 days, my pots are 8" pots so I bought 5 gallons of distilled water(1GAL 4 ea. plant). I guess what I am going to do is wait to flush, And then I will test the soils PH level, then I will adjust my nutriented water to reflect the proper PH according to my soil. I will buy sum epson salt and add 1/4-1/2 tsp. every 2 weeks. Hopefully I flush all the blocked nutes outta soil so I can start a good nute regemine. I am leaning towards buying MJ nutes for veg. cycle and sumthing else to help the flowering stage.
Stinkyattic- OR Garden Knowm-What is sumthing I will need to help me in the flowering stage that I use, I know MJ plants need plenty of Potassium in Flower stage correct?
POINT ME TO A FEEDING SCHEDULE SUM ONE
I know I asked alot of questions within these 4 posts, but I need sum answers and please answer all ?'s in time. All help is appreciated and passed on throughout this forum. Happy Buds!!!!! Gonna score me a bag tonight hopefully if not tomorrow.
weed4life I wrote a good post somewhere on how to proper Ph your water. If you search for it you should find it. It was only with in the last 2 weeks or less.
So if I flush my plants will it break the nutrient block? Stinkyattic said I probably have nute block and said to flush. My lower leaves have started to turn brown and die. I will flush thoroughly tomorrow. Is there a way to flush with cured ph tap water to get the soil clean of nutes and to get soil to a ph level I desire?

I am not going to read your whole thread, but 1st...If you want a good organic soil, that you can basically just water and not use a lot of nutes then you should spend the money on Foxfarm ocean forest...It is the chitman'
you apparently overferted the crap out of your plants. I saw it in the piks...no need to read. Good Piks.
flushing is done to remove all the salts built up in your plants. You must flush with at least 6X's the water that would fill up your grow container. you can also place the plants in the shower for awhile (tepid water) and totally rinse/flush them...make sure you rig a filter of some sort for your drain. Good luck
p.s. I would get away from all that miracle grow stuff!
I have always used AN or GH 3-part and a product called Liquid Karma or Superthrive as an additive
(B-vitamins +) to the 3-part and it is inexpensive, yet produces great results.
This thread belongs in basic growing...so i'm moving it for ya' peace

I would not add anything to the soil other than perlite. I would make adjustments to the PH by using water that is slightly higher than normal.. for example.. If my soil was 6.o I would water with 6.8-7.0 water..

Thanks all. My Indica produced about an ounce of some decent bud even though her soil was acidic during her last days. Thanks Latewood and Zandor for your help.
Hey I am using Organic Black Gold. I have recently seeded in it with a 1:1 mix of black gold and Perlite. Do you think this will be too strong? I burn some other seedlings so I am very cautious now.Quote:
