I have 2 plants in 7 gal. pots that have been flowering for 3 wks. flushed yesterday and started on Monster Bloom 0-50-30 today, plan on hitting them once a week for three weeks and then flush again for the last two weeks to clean, is it alright to just use this or am I going to need to add some N. Thanks

You are going to have to add N. The whole concept of flushing and then starting over again with nutes is flawed and very dangerous on your plant. You are starving your plant when flushing, leaching everything out of your soil, thereby stressing your plant greatly and reducing your future yield. The best advice I can give to you is to feed your plant by watching it daily, notice a lightening of the leaves especially the bottom leaves. Keep your leaves green throughout the grow and the yield will follow. No need to flush in soil, seriously doubt in hydro or other methods but other topic. The taste and smoothness will be gain upon proper drying and curing, but you need a healthy plant to start with.
edit: Almost forgot, welcome to RIU I hope you find it informative and entertaining. Word of warning on accepting advice: look at their grow journal, does their info make sense, do lots of searching and reading on your own........google is your friend. Devote a portion of your day to reading on growing, just like you spend time watching your plants, it will pay you great dividends. Just my two cents.
I wish you luck in your grow.

Thanks for the great info the girls are a little pale with some fan leaves turning yellow which I figured is due to the flowering, will switch to the Jacks Classic at 10-30-20 to give it some N What do you think? I read this and all forums with an open mind.

Thanks cannawizard for the info, noway for the pictures but I know what you mean about the trolls, everyone has a different way of doing things I like keeping it simple I will not flush again, just keep an eye on them for vigor. Thanks again
