So yeah, it will save you the 'it's not even close!!!' headaches.
I think at the end of it all, the presence or absence of calmag in the watering solution is less important than during growth- maybe cut the ferts first, then cut the calmag later, in the last week. I don't know what would be perfect, but that would be logical at least.

I am probably just too high, but I don't understand, help me please lady!
So I get that Bigs plant is eating itself, and this is what you want. Got it. And that's a good thing.
That makes sense, I get that.
For the flushing, are you telling me that it usually takes most plants a week and a half to two to transition from all cloudy, to a certain level of amber, and that if I want more amber, just continue to water plain ph'd water as needed?
I feel like I am totally just missing something here?
I was always thinking that I wouldn't begin flushing until I saw some amber trichs? Is what you are saying that I will get to a good level of amber by the time a 10-14 day flush is done? If so then alright, I am closer to being done than I thought!
