I work in research supervising an organic chemistry lab at a university- specifically, PCBs in the tissues and blood of subsistence hunters and their prey. My degree is in fisheries management (Ichthyology side, rather than ecology) and I ended up running my lab through a strange turn of events that included time in Alaska at sea, and a couple years field sampling on an EPA grant... the lab we were sending samples to was understaffed, and the rest is history.
My irritation was primarily at your claim that fertilizing at all after week 2-3 of flower is bad- and the sugar thing- come on, we all use molasses, and right up to harvest too. I'm not sure what other sugars you were talking about that are bad for the plants... I certainly would not be feeding them lactose, for example... but that's not done anyway, so ???
Don't start with me on thinking I'm all that just because I'm a moderator. Seriously. I'm not like that, and turned down mod the first time it was offered- I've just been kicking around this site long enough to know that information presented incompletely is often misinterpreted by noobs and leads to confusion later on. Your original post implied that you would be feeding for less than HALF of the full time you need to be. Typical flower on an indoor grow is a full 8 weeks, meaning you should be feeding for a full 6 weeks.
I'm not trying to get in a big ol flame war here either, I just want to make certain that there is no confusion over fertilizing schedules. You simply do NOT flush for a month.
And I'm not trying to play semantics here either, but I never claimed that Calcium phosphate was an ion, I said that BOTH dissociated ions were valuable to the plant...
We can go on sniping at each other or not. I respect your background and degrees. Let's just leave it at that. Sorry for coming off so snarky to begin with.
