Is it Indica?

[pepurr]

I flushed out the soil with 2 gal. tap water. Tap water had set out for 3 days. I did notice that some of the little green fertilizer balls in the soil had burst/flattened.

I doubt I will use pre-fertilized soil again. I don't like not having control. With pre-fertilized soil there is no control of the nutrients. They may have a good proportion of basic nutrients, but while the plants are young this may be to rich.

The other plant I call Droopy has the slightest hint of burn on the tips of the lower leafs. Otherwise, it is growing bushy and thick. It being in the same type of soil makes be believe some plants may be more tolerant of these soil conditions.

I included some pictures of the bottom leafs. While I was pouring in the water, my hand brushed one of the leafs. It promptly fell off.:wtf3:

In my 'limited' experience

I use FloraKleen, I run it through my flowering system every month and through plants individually when I move them from the Veggie garden to the flowering one.

In your experience, what is the best flushing method?

I've heard a lot of bad things about fertilized soil. Cannabis doesn't do well with it. Believe it or not, miracle grow has the right amount of nutrients and you can control the dosage. The usual rule of thumb is to NOT fertilize Cannabis the first two weeks of growth. I grew a Sativa once using miracle grow and the plant turned out perfect. It almost took over my grow closet though. When it was getting close to harvest time, I flushed for two weeks. Miracle Grow isn't organic so you'll want to flush out all the excess nutrients.

Here is a update to the grow. For all the latest informaton and more pictures check my grow log.

Looking good,pepurr!

They look great pepurr. I was just checking out m420m's post, Hers look great as well. Does mirical grow flush completley out of the plant during it's 2 week flush before harvest? I use rose bloom during the flowering period but have never used mirical grow. An old friend of mine in Santa Fe taught me this method. It works really well.
I use once every 2 weeks . I mix worm castings 30% ( make into a worm shit tea. approx 1 quart) a little aloe gel straight from the plant leaf ( tablespoon) and a drop or three of Neptunes harvest with seaweed in a 1 gallon jug with warm water. I sometimes add bat guano to the worm castings if I have it. I have never had a bad plant with this mix and incredible yeilds. I do mean heavy plants and massive cola's
I am waiting on my personal production license and can't wait to start doing this agian.
Plants look great:thumbsup::hippy:
check out my albums, I put a few pics in there.

Have you considered using LST to make your plants grow more bushy and not so tall and straight?

[pepurr]

I had considered LST, but decided to wait till the next batch. This my first grow in 29 years, so on this one it will be 'au naturel'.

One of them will be sacrificed later due to the fact I only have so much light to work with. So far Droopy is winning. It hasn't had so much trouble with nute burn like Indica Maybe. Also all of its secondary growth is nice and even, with well developed leafs. Droopy is way bushier than Indica Maybe.

Indica Maybe had a bad problem with nute burn. The burn killed off the first 3 nodes of fan leaves, and the burn still creeps up on remaining fan leafs. The secondary branches on it are uneven and the leaves there of, are not so well developed as with Droopy. One of the secondary branches even shot out 3 inches leaving all the rest behind at only a half an inch.

There are little nubs of pre-flower on both of them now. The nubs on Droopy showed 2 weeks earlier than on Indica Maybe. I don't have a magnifier so it is hard for me to tell, but I don't as yet see any hairs coming out of them.

Indica Maybe has started making uneven nodes on its main stalk. This has been going on for the last 4 nodes. I read when that happens, it is a good time to cut the light. I would like to give them another week of veg before cutting the light.

They are 9-10 inches tall now, and really seem to be taking off. I had to raise the lights 3 times in a week. If they keep going at this rate, they will be 14-15 inches tall on week 6.

Tomorrow is the week 5 mark. I will post new pictures then.

Does mirical grow flush completley out of the plant during it's 2 week flush before harvest? I use rose bloom during the flowering period but have never used mirical grow.

I really couldn't say. The soil I am using has the ferts built in. It sucks in a way. With all them ferts in there already, some of the plants get burned when young.

Seems that as water gets flushed through and the plants get older and stronger, they are better able to handle all the nutes.

It will be interesting to see what happens when harvest comes. Flushing soil with built in ferts would seem to not work as well as if when the soil has not this built in ferts. Hopefully by the time of harvest much, if not all, of the ferts will be depleted.

[xsnoder]

Very interesting. I imagine the built in nutes would be depleated by harvest but, is it mostley mineral supplement or does it have a full range of nitrogen ect..?. Also what is LST? does this mean low stress training? or is it some form of supplement?
