C5Rftw's 2nd Deep Water Culture Grow

Hey C5, Just wanted to let ya know that you got my vote for the nug and plant contests and it looks like your KILLING it. Woulda sent ya a PM back but looks like I need a few more posts >.< Time fore less reading and more talking lol!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I hope I win. You'll have the post soon, hopefully soon. Stick and around and watch the grow man
 
C5 do you flush? Am i starving my plants of nutes in this vital time of flowering by giving them straight water?

I just got threw with a semi flush... very low nutes. It never hurts when they are in pure water and still have nutes in their system.. It take 2 weeks for them to use their nutes if they are growing normally I have read.. with rapid growing plants it could take a week I guess..

how long have you been flushing and by "vital time" what do you mean??

If you were at 1500ppm during VEG...thats like 1.25 max strength, normally... then you want to be on 1500ppm during early to mid flowering. Then start tapering it down around 6-7 weeks and gradually get to half your strength for the final week of flowering or "ripening." Then 2-3 days of just water..

Now anytime you think you got some nute-lockup, go ahead and flush... pure water for your plants is a good thing and again 2-3 days is fine.. I was at 2500ppm during my last grow and they got nute lockup at the very end I gather now...thats why they went from 2 gal a day to .5 gal a day or less while at 54 days flowering... I should of flushed right when I saw the 2500ppm. I would say 125% or 150% of the max nutes is fine for a couple days, but nothing more.. The tough part is where is the limit?? luckily I know because of my "fuck-ups" but a safe bet is always 1200 or 1300ppm for mature plants
 
Nice C5R, I think I'm going to flush my lady as soon as she wakes , I've been pushing her at around 2000-2100 ppm. This may wake up those amber waves of trichs....:peace:
 
I have nothing to say other than "wow". Awesome job C5R. Makes me wanna go look at my plants and play around now!!! Can't wait to see more.
 
Wow - and I thought my girls had some thick ankles... those look like bonsai trees! Nice work C5! +reps

Thanks man. they are thick as hell.. the stalks I keep as my trophies. Really because I cant help but smoke the buds lol.. but yah I cant to be to be playing around with that 2 inch thick stalk... and realizing that the plant only grew for a month to achieve that... hydro amazes constantly.
