Flushing your Plants?
your plants have excellent color, and look quite healthy :thumbsup: ... they are a bit small for 60 days, but no big deal, there ... forget flushing, they don't look like they need it ... once a week, use a nice mild fertilizer, be SURE to mix them thoroughly with water, (check the pH of your water, try for around 6.5) ... let's see, my Earth Juice GROW is a 2-1-1 fert (quite mild), my Fox Farms GROW BIG is a 6-4-4, a bit stronger (in comparison, typical Miracle-Gro is 15-30-15, or, 18-18-21 for MG tomato food ... Miracle-Gro is good stuff, it just gets a bad rap from being over-used - it CAN burn the shit outta your plants) ... IF you are using Miracle-Gro potting soil, you should NOT have to add any fertilizer until the flowering stage ... then, you will want to switch to 'Bloom' type feeding, something like Earth Juice BLOOM is good, so is Fox Farms TIGER BLOOM, etc ... there's all kinds of stuff on the market ... TIP: pot plants suffer from too much love, it's a WEED
... we get so attached to them, we seem to always think the plant 'needs' something ... nope, feed it when it's hungry, water it when it's thirsty) ... then, cut it's friggin' head off, and smoke it's corpse ! .... :wtf: (thinking of it that way keeps ya from getting too sentimental
)
P.S. ... look on the underside of the leaves with a magnifying glass, if possible, that's where critters usually hide
