Excited to be a part of this forum

Just feels like takes all the control out of my hand using this ph perfect no ppm readings no ph readings?
 
Just gonna ride out this grow now with no supplements, and start fresh with new nuit line for next round thanks fellas for all ur helps!!!! 👌
 
I've made a feed with just base nuits am I gonna see a bad yield from this grow by feeding all supplements then just stopping mid flower?

No. It doesn’t work that way… you’re base nutrients have the same nutrients in them.

There is a lot of marketing bullshit out there these days on nutrients. Often people give to much of supplements and it leads to a ratio imbalance.
 
Now im not going to be using this ph perfect base nutrients line for any more runs I still have quite a few of the supplements left are these any use or not should these all now just be chucked away?

Throw or give away all that crap and go with a salt based line. I went with Jacks 321 formula and love it......I use it in everything now. The plants love it and I use the same formula from seed to harvest with no supplements required....I do use some silica, fulvic acid, kelp, and a little calmag every now and then.
I have a couple bottles of their expensive water left laying around I will gift to anyone interested.....

I wholeheartedly stand behind what @Driver77 stated above.

Organic chemistry gets too complicated for most home gardeners. Your plants don't care where their minerals come from. They only care that they are able to uptake it and utilize it to grow. Synthetic ferts are easy to use because everything comes in plant available form. It will reduce a lot of grower headaches.
 
Has anybody tried the xpert nutrients line? I was looking into these for next run but also still wondering if it may just be better to go back to what I was using 'ghe' terra aquatica line previously
 
Hi chaps so flushing to be able to put such an amount of water though each plant would i be ok to use my bath and plain tap water just ive been feeding with distilled water, but haven't a silly amount of distilled water at once as I'm only using a table top distiller, so to put like 15ltrs would it be ok to do this and maybe use distilled water for last couple of days before?
 
My tap ph 7.2 but ppm of tap water is high as hard water here
 
Or would I be ok doing what I am doing just watering with ph'd distilled water instead of nutrients feeds! Every 2-3 days. I've been doing this for the last week should I even bother with a big flush now or just carry on another week of doing what I am? And maybe keep an eye out on the ppm's?
 
After 3rd run of water this week 2gallon flushes my ppms are down to 373 is this ok im running 0ppm so I'm guessing still a lil way off before I get as low as 50ppm will carrying on doing what I am 2gallon flushes every couple of days wen soil dryes for what will now be week 9 flower now the 2nd week be ok
 
If your in soil you can stop flushing unless you have problems with too much already in there.
Runoff ppm from soil is not an accurate reading for nutrients in it.....the organics mess with the readings. I only water soil to minimal runoff.

Yeah flushing is bro science as far as it giving better quality smoke. There's been a bunch of blind taste tests with flushed vs non flushed of same cultivars and was determined indistinguishable.
Plants will fade as they mature naturally without forcing it through starvation and won't finish faster because of starvation.
I coast on what's in the soil the last couple weeks but make sure there's enough for the plant to continue to mature without consuming itself for best yield and quality.

I don't 'flush', but I stop feeding about 2 weeks before chop or my best guess.
 
So I'm in my 2nd week flushing I'm gonna experiment this grow with a flush and next not. But yh so.... for the last week an a half ive been flushing with distilled water but to keep up its costing a bomb to run distiller. Does it matter about using tap water here? Just for the final few days? My ppms are between 380-550
