Ganjadude, I hope you will keep us updated on your trials and results, whatever they are. I would be interested in the outcome. Again, best of luck.

While researching the flushing, drying, curing subjects, I found a few posts (Stinky's was one) that mentioned you should stop all N two weeks before flush. So you stop N 4 weeks before harvest but continue to feed everything else until the 2 week flush time.
Stinky says excess N during bloom causes harshness, which is mostly what I'm experiencing.
Thought I'd let you know in case you hadn't run across that tidbit of info.
Crabbyback I did not know that about cutting out the N 4 weeks before harvest. I did cutback on the nutes for the last couple of weeks before the flush.
I use Pure Blend Pro Bloom for the veg which has 2.5% N. I guess the only way I could make sure that the N is totally stopped 4 weeks before harvest is to switch to a 3 part nutrient regiment like GH.
I've never used another nute besides Pure Blend, I guess my question is how would I control N? Also since I will be trying soil on my next grow do you have any suggestions or recommendations for nutrients? I was planning on getting some of the Foxfarm soil, I hear that's good.
:thumbsup:
I didn't know about stopping N 4 weeks before harvest either, so I'm excited to try this my next grow. I have some residual harshness that I would love to get rid of.
Now I'm excited that you didn't know this either. Are you growing right now? Can you test this soon? :D
GDude, you need to turn on your reputation so people can rep you. Its under the User CP tab up top. :stoned:
I didn't even think about you using a one part feed. I don't know how you'd do it with that product.
Recently, I'm using a 3-part from Humboldt Nutrients but I'm still evaluating them. I have used Advanced Nutrients in the past and really liked them. Everyone says they are overpriced. I don't know the PureBlend line. Have you been to their website to see if they make a 3 part or a complementary product to what you are using with bloom nutes only? If you like the brand, I'd try that.
Fox Farms is supposed to be the bomb. Just be really careful with the FF Ocean Forest soil. Lots of folks burn their plants with it.
Now that I will be growing with soil I think I'll find a new nutrient solution, with a 3 part solution so I can control the amount of NPK applied. Crabbyback because I live in the Northeast I suspend growing in the summer (don't want to leave A/C's running while I'm at work). My next grow will start at the end of Sept. FYI all the crappy tasting weed I have is now in it's 5th day of water curing. I hope that may make the herb a little more palatable for me. I'll let you know how the water cure turns out.:cool:
Hi, sorry you're having taste problems. For what it's worth, I keep my drying room temp as close to 50 degrees as possible and let em hang for about 2 weeks. Then I cure them in plastic shopping bags which are put inside brown paper bags rolled halfway down. I open em up once a day to let the gasses and any excess moisture escape. It's always been bagseeds so nothing super tasty but still nice and earthy(outdoor organic). If I can wrangle up enough glass jars this year I'll eliminate the bag curing method since I seem to be the only one using it. Read it in HT about 10 yrs ago. Glass is just so much nicer.
Good luck dude!
