Hi all just about to start my first el nino grow and I have a question.
Got my seeds from greenhouse co. (Feminized) and have watched their vids on youtube for help.
They talk about flushing the plant every ten days but I thought too much water was BAD for the plant.
Is flushing ok and if so whats the best method.
Cheers in advance for any help
 
ahh.... good question Big al... most people don't understand how important flushing can be in a soil grow... too much water too frequently is VERY bad for your plant.(i flush about once every 2 or 3 weeks) usually i wait until the soil is dry enough for the next watering, and before i give any nutes with the water i flush the pots... in a 1 gallon pot i flush about 2 or 3 gallons through... gets excess nutes, salts, and wastes out of your soil... then when it's drained decently(10 minutes or so later) you pour in the water/nutrients... if you ever overfertilize, Immediately flush your soil... better to have too much water than too much nutes! good luck!
