Hello, This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering.
I completely forgot about reporting last week. Got the roof re-shingled and they finished on Tue and I chopped fire wood when they left.
Chopped for 3 days and on Sat. I couldn't remember if I reported... so I had to look... I hadn't... Oh well..
Got 3 weeks left to go and this is the last week for nutrients. I'll give a couple of weeks of ph adjusted tap water only, before harvest.
Yes... I still like to flush... For better taste.
I've tried growing right up to harvest before and was disappointed with the pot. Or had to harvest early, because of pests, and didn't flush.
I could taste the nutrients left in the plant tissue. Have you ever tried the ash test to see how clean your pot is?
When you smoke a joint, the ash at the end is supposed to be white and fall off the end easily, for the cleanest cannabis.
It always takes 2 weeks flushing, for me, to get that good white ash.
If your ash is gray... that's not too bad, if it falls off easily.
But if it's dark gray with black streaks in it and is stiff and has to be pushed off the end of the joint, then it will probably taste bad too and has too much nutrient left in it...
Have you ever smoked a joint and had it sizzle and soft pop (not like a seed pop) It has too much nutrient left in the plant
Try your own test (smoke a joint) to see how your pot stacks up.
OK. Keep Growing Straight.
Chuck.
