Just up your cal/mag a little when feeding, I don't Flush anything but turds, If you want to know how I finish my plants I would be happy to tell you, But, Leaching is for fixing over fertilizing issues.[/QUOTE]

Yeah tell me how you finsh bro I need the knowledge[/QUOTE]
When the plant is ready to harvest, I pour boiling hot water over the roots. This starves the roots of oxygen and starts the breakdown of sugars,starches and chlorophyll. Leave it under the lights for 3 days, then harvest. No leaching or flushing necessary[/QUOTE]
Ok hot water I never heard of that an how much calmag u think I should up I told you I give 1/2a gallon I grow in soil ffof happy frog how many teaspoons help me bro

Questions:
I assume you are using enough boiling hot water to kill the plant. True?
I know starches can break down to sugars, but what does sugar break down to, without involving yeast and fermentation?

every problem I read on this page can be fixed very easy.
1. Quit using so much Bullshit
2. quit trying to be perfect on the p.h
3.quit using things like sweet, molasses,cal mag
Just quit it all, use a good 1 part nutrient, drop the bloom nutes, lose the ppm pen,lose the ph meter.
Once i quit doing all of these things and just used jack's citrus feed or dyna gro foliage pro in Small amounts, I saw healthy plants and huge yileds.
LESS IS MORE, learn that and you WILL see results. Quit loving your plants to death. good luck
You know, I have heard a lot of this talk before and I always ask myself what is bullshit. For instance, There are things like Silicon, Humic acid, and a couple finishing powder products that have proven to be very beneficial to overall plant yeail. Keeping simple and streamlining is always better except when the bullshit works. I think the nutrients are only as good as the plants willingess to use them. Ph, ppm, and bloom boosters like house and gardens shooiting powder are products that are not optional.....they give you more out of your nutes. So, loving to death is not my style but I don't think you are saving money or increasing yeilds here. Just sayin

I just pulled 3 grams short of a qp off 1 OG plant by upgrading my lights and only using jack's citrus feed start to finish, so NO, I don't NEED silica, I don't NEED bloom Boosters, I don't NEED High P/K Nutes, I don't NEED shooting powder, What I do NEED, is the money I save not buying these products.

I recently tried a method of flushing that seems to work. It is one heavy flush and then I raise the ph out of range to lockout all nutrients. I don't know that it works as well but theoretically it sounded interesting. A plant cant use what it cant eat...right?

just pour boiling hot water over the roots, does the same thing but faster.

Run your show however you want and for a hundred dollars more I will too. You don't need anything but there is a benefit to the products. I am not a big spender but the bloom booster is the only expensive supplement and 15-25% increase in the end everytime. Things like humic acid actually end up saving you money. I get them in bulk and they enable me to use less fertilizer, the info is out there and properly using the products is a big part of it. I dont think your advice would work for all plants in all mediums but you seem to be rocking it. My photo is a picture of plants with 4 weeks left, I pulled 50 oz in 60 days and the result was top shel and delicious.

I saw my yields increase when I gave up the boosters and bloom foods, I run several different strains, all in pro-mix using veg nutes at low amounts every time i water. I finish with healthy plants, that was the best thing for increasing yield, UNTIL i got a gavita pro, That damn thing near doubled my yield. Wanna guess what I'm buying next? It isn't shooting powder,lol

I kind of feel too intimidated to even ask anymore questions on this thread but I can't figure this out. It's on my outdoor plant. All the leaves are doing this. I thought maganese def, but when I scrutinize the illustrated leaf chart, it all starts to look the same. So here it is:

I too have had plants with leaves like this... and yes, the defiicienies etc. all seem to look very similar in the charts to me as well. My issues tend to be with watering to start... and things go from there. So whenI see issues I stop watering.... and wait.
