This is a great thread,very informative!
I am running the full line and plan on doing the feed,feed,,tea,feed,feed,flush approach that Scott from Nectar recommends.The question I have is regarding the Flush day's,do those consist of just plain PH'd water,or water and HH?
Also,on the flush day's,how much runoff?The same as a normal feeding (typically little to no runoff on my feed day),or an excessive amount?
on flush days , water with HH and olypmus up.... as far as run off , i only do it till i see it starting to drip out of bottom ...Remember when you do a "slurry test " ppm should be in 300-500 ppm range ...

How deep do you have to dig down in the soil to do a slurry test for accurate readings of the root zone?Also,is it damaging or stressful to plant to take readings?I alway's cringe when I dig down and hear roots breaking!

about 2 inches , I take my slurry close to the edge of the pot .. but you only should take a slurry test if there are isuues ….

Great thread here.

I'm running the sample kit + CB instant tea + SLF and molasses. I've been doing feed, feed, tea, feed, feed, flush or something like that. I'm in week 8 right now running a Spliff seeds strain. They're not doing too well at the moment, with most lower leaves yellowing and falling off. I've been pretty generous with HH on feed days, but haven't been using it on the tea or flush days. Could that be why the plants are hurting?BBG_6-26-09.JPG

HH use on flush days and feed not tea feeds …. is this an 8 week strain or 10 week ? another thing is what does your trichs look like ?
have you done a slurry test ? your ok with the feed , feed , tea , feed , feed , flush ….. key factor is we need to know what ppm , ph is ...

This is an 8-week strain according to Spliff. Trichomes are looking mostly cloudy, some clear and no amber yet. I haven't done a slurry test, but I pH to ~6.5-6.8 when feeding/watering. No ppm meter.

I just watched an OCG video where they demonstrate a slurry test and (sort of) explain the results. The PPM part is interesting and makes sense. In my situation, I'm guessing my slurry would show a high PPM indicating the plant is not eating everything I give it, which would explain the lock out problem. Assuming that would be the case, what would be the action to take? Fewer feed days and more flush days?

Which nftg bottle (there's a ton and im new to nftg and agi as well) do I use for mag? I have the "Greek" regimen (minus Kraken) and have had a few problems - its my first real grow, 2 weeks into veg - P lockout bc of low pH promix hp soil (99% sure).

I guess like anything else there's a learning curve. Thought I had it covered, but gotta keep on learning :wall:

:peace:

If you are doing a Hurculean Harvest flush to correct a PH issue,how much do you run through?I grow in 3 gallon smart pots and water/feed 1/2 gallon.Do I do the flush the same as a feed day,or run multiple gallons through?

if correcting issues you flush like your feed … 1/2 gallon of water with HH , Olympus up to correct ph.... not really doing a flush its more of a "reset"

so for im having great results using NFTG …. using roman feed and doing feed , feed , tea , feed , feed , flush .. had high ph 7.1-7.4 that from not feeding as much , more feed less volume ( 5gal fabric pots to half gallon water every 2 days ) ph in range … HH use at 70ml , I am in mid flower and took medusa out cause the (N) ...

I watched a video of Scott from Nectar saying if you use Bloom Khaos as a foliar,you need to use it at a 6:1 ratio with Herculean Harvest.That's a lot more HH than what's on the feeding chart,espescially in the early stages of veg.The feeding chart calls for 5 ml's/quart of Bloom Khaos,so do I add more HH,or reduce the BK to get to the 6:1 ratio?

add more HH .... when i do foliar of BK at 2.5ml using 15ml of HH ....

The feeding chart calls for 5ml/qt.of BK.If I spray at that strength,does that mean I need 120MLs of HH?That seems high for the HH,but that's a 6:1 ratio that Scott mentioned.
