A question about flushing.......

[E Man]

Here's what I got ready to go,[attachment=o104474][attachment=o104475]



and here's the next crop.[attachment=o104476][attachment=o104477]



This is my first harvest and I want to make sure that my O.L. doesn't vape any fertilizer. They're in 3gal pots and what I've done is pour a 5gal bucket of water through each one. I've read that one should flush 2 weeks prior to harvest but I need some advice. I figured I'd just do that every time I water and add no nutes because in two weeks I'm gonna put the 3 orange pots into flower. Is that the way to flush or am I missing something? I'm runnung out of room and need input.

yep Do just like you said!! No nutes and use at least 5 gal to flush when watering.

hey man, a general rule of thumb is to use double your pot size to flush...EXAMPLE--> if you have a 4 gal. pot flush is 8 gallons of r/o water. "r/o" is reverse osmosis if you dont know already.

Thanks BLS, there are actually 4 CFLs in this rig. 43w Warm Whites. Here is the overhead CFL rig.[attachment=o104630]



I've also got these 2 four ft. shoplights along the back wall with 2 Warm Whites and 2 Plant and Aquarium tubes[attachment=o104629]
