Got a couple of questions

[colslaw]

Hello people of icmag this is my first grow and ive got a couple of questions... 1st is how do you no when your plant is 2 weeks away from done so you can start flushing? and 2nd is when you start your flush do you still use cannazym or is it just strait water??
Ive got 1 easyryder at day 52 and 1 short rider at day 49.
They are in soil being fed with 5ml of bio biz bio-bloom, 2ml of bio biz fish-mix and 2.5ml of cannazym per ltr of water, any help would be awesome,
cheers colslaw

col- easyryders generally take 75-80 days, but can take more or maybe a few days less.. Yours look at least 21 days away.When the pistils (white hairs) turn orange, red, whatever, and recede back into the calyx, you know they are getting close. Go get a $10 microscope from Radioshack or wherever, so you can look at the trichomes. When they turn cloudy and amber you know it's ready.

I would stop using the fish now, and run them out with the bloom as the poster above said, and say you will want to 'cleanse' around day 70 for a week to 10 days. You don't need to pour tons of water thru it like a flush.Just good healthy plain water. You are using certified organic nutes, so you really don't need to think like a chemical grower.

YMMV

Peace.

The only thing I would add here would be to make sure you goof in the right direction. If you're not sure.... flush early. You may lose a tiny bit of yield... but your ladies will survive much longer than 30 days of just plain water. If you start using plain water too late... it can really affect the quality of your end product.

Stay Safe!

What soil mix are you using?


I am at day 60 today with my easy's, and am growing organic as well. I will be watering with my last Neptunes Harvest Fish 2-3-1 tonight, and then will finish out with some P-K "nutes" till day 70 or so, and then 10-12 days of plain water, but NO flushing. Chemical growers have a mindset of dumping massive amounts of water on their plants to rid them of the nasty tasting chemicals, salts, or whatever else is in the soil and plant reserves. If you have organic soil, with organic nutes, this is not needed.You WILL want to cut out guano's or fish, to avoid having those tastes in your buds, but these can be done with cleansing at the end with regular water and regular run-off.

In nature, do torrential rains fall to flush out plants?

These are rated at 75 days, but you should plan on 75-85 days IMO.You could easily have 30 days left for those..Not sure about your other ryders, as I've never grown them or seen the genetic specs.

If you cut off all nutrients in 10 days you will be at day 65 or so, and you could be watering plain water for 20 plus days. IMHO that would be too early.

YMMV
