just topes the bottom ones that are clipped and turning up. Its getting very crowded because of my other bush. Waiting for there tops to start turning as well… started to use lst clips because wanted to try n keep them from stetching too much cuz of the space in the tent. And light height. @Emilya Green
Hi Squishy! Flushing is the forceful removal of the salts locked in the soil, and it does take some effort. The general rule is that it takes 3x the size of the container in water to get this done. A 5 gallon pot requires 15 gallons of water to do it right. I also recommend using warm water if you doing in a bathroom, as it just helps dislodge the saltsIf I have my plants in 5 gallon pots, and using fox farms schedule and products, how many gallons of water do I really need to use to flush these ladies? My next moves are switching to 12/12 and flushing ! Any thoughts my friend
Alright. Well the lights were just changed to 12/12 about 2 days ago and im just waiting for the plants to show me signs that they need to be watered and that is when im going to flush them…my only concern is worrying when im dumping 15 gallons of water into my pots, is the soil going to lessen and come out the bottom of the pots? And arent the plants going to look drowned for a couple of days after the fact of flushing with so much water? I also intent on using Fox Farms Sledge hammer as they suggest on the feeding schedule. Heres an updated picture of the babies
To alleviate your fears, let's look at the physics of the thing. Your soil is designed to only be able to hold so much water and then anything extra just runs off at the bottom as runoff. There is no difference in the amount of water that remains in the pot whether you've slowly watered to run off or you have flushed with 15 gallons of water. Your plants will not feel waterlogged, they will be well watered. Also, your soil is not going to come out of the bottom because it is well settled in there and it's tightened in there with the roots. The soil is just going to do what it is designed to do and allow the water to pass through. I've never used the sledgehammer but the concept is good and it will help you dislodge the salts a little bit more efficiently. Just wait till you see your plants respond to this treatment, you won't believe it!Alright.

but my last yield I actually hit 1.5g per watt and I hope to hit even higher this time! Idk if you plan on growing again but if you do please give LST a try! Having a uniform height canopy and coverage will be a game changer yield wise
