I flushed the heck out of the soils yesterday, and when arriving at band practice our mandolin player's wife had alot of large (9.5"dia x 10"deep) pots she was getting rid of (the crop are currently in 7.5" dia x 8" deep pots). I then went straight from there to the Roger Waters concert last night, which I might add was a great show and much more than I expected. Anywhoo...I got the pots and can repot sooner than anticipated...today.

Also, the last effort I flushed twice and at 1.5 and 1 week prior to harvesting. However, the produce still dried and cured having terrible quality. Which now leads me to believe that the plant stored so much nutrients that it could not flush out the majority within that time before cutting. I hope that the effort will not turn out the same, but I do have high hopes after performing the recommendations provided. Which leads me to the next crop...

As far as suggestions for a simple feeding program for the next effort, in my first post I listed the individual nutrients I have, and linked the new HN feeding schedule that I had used. I will most likely soon create another post when I find the correct forum to request suggestions for a feeding program from what I have. However, if I may re-list them and again ask for suggestions (I hope y'all don't mind) from you three as to a simple "flowering" feeding schedule from the below list of nutrients...

Base Nutrients
Botanical Pro Grow (3-2-4) veg and flowering
HN Bloom Natural (0-10-0) flowering
HN Deuce Deuce (0-0-22) flowering

Additives
HN Equilibrium (Ca/Mg supplement) flowering
Organicare Humex (4% humic acid) veg and flowering
HN Flavorful (8% refined humic acid) veg and flowering

Bio-Innoculants
HN Prozyme (80 enzymes) veg and flowering
AN Tarantula (19 bacteria) veg

Root Stimulants
AN Piranha (26 fungi) veg
HN Humboldt Roots (root stimulant) veg

Carboydrates
HN Honey ES (sugars) flowering

Bloom/Flower Enhancers
AN Big Blood (purchased, never used yet)
AN Big Bud Powder
AN Overdrive (purchased, never used yet)


I like the idea of Keep It Simple. From all the nutrient$ I purcha$ed and the time it took to mix them, the thought crossed my mind many times that maybe it didn't have to be that complicated.

The last crop I cut at 12 weeks when the trichomes began to show abundant ambering. It seemed like a longer time than anticipated, maybe because of the over-feeding. Since this is a cross between Diesel and Blueberry, and I read online that the flowering times are 75-80 days and 50-60 days, respectively, I'm not sure what the actual flowering time can be for this cross. Therefore, I'm curious to see when the current ladies indicate they're ready, and especially the next crop that will not be overfed.

Rusty Trichome, WashougalWonder, and polishpollack, thank you very much for taking your time to assist me. You can be sure I'll update this post with results.
