how long after a flush should nutes be re-introduced? i`m thinking that i should use ph balanced water for about a week, just to make sure that the flush has been succesfull in removing the MG nutes from the compost.
anyone have any ideas??:cool: :eek: :cool: help please.
i`m in week 3 flower, 400w HPS.

i`m in week 3 flower, 400w HPS.I wouldn't give them anything until they look better. Did you over feed them or something shuggy?

they don`t look bad TBG, it`s just that i transplanted into miracle grow moisture control for flower. i started seeing the tips go brown, so i flushed. the leaves were getting a lighter shade of green with nercrotic patches,but this is only on the bottom of the gal. but they look good and are 5ft in height, with plenty of bud sites beggining to pack together. looks great for only 2 weeks of flower. cosmic nights and widow skunk.
they look healthy and strong, only problem being the "hermie" which i`m attempting to remove all the balls from:eek:, so as to not pollinate my other gals which are the same in height as the hermie.
twice a day, i go round the whole plant and remove all visible balls, but all it takes is one missed ball and then i`ll have two seed producers. have you ever been succesfull in doing this? i know you`ve used MG soil and had good results. any advice my man?

It's tough trying to get all the male private parts as Stoney Bud would say. :p You can try taking it out at night seperating it from the rest of the true girls. Then you can pluck the male parts off when you see them. This way if any pop up over night you can get them before sticking it back in during lights on if that makes any since. :D Or you can just hope for the best and try to get them as they pop up but with a 5 ft. plant it's gonna be tough. I remember for every bud site we had on our hermie 3 or 4 sacks would pop up. :eek: We plucked and plucked and still ended up with hermie seeded bud. It was good but seeded none the less. Good luck mang. ;)

will the seed, emerging from the hermaphrodite-have a hermie trate. i.e good chance of becoming a hermie itself?
i`ve removed around 100 pollen sacks in the past 2 days.
