hey, just wandering - if im growing completely organic (seaweed, foxfarm,etc) do i need to still flush the soil 2 weeks before i harvest ? will the organics make it taste nasty? or do i jus need to flush if using chemicals? thanks alot
With chemical nutes you pretty much have to flush. About once a month during the grow to prevent toxic build up. And again before harvest to try and get the taste out. With organics you should be OK. Some people reccomend a flowering flush, but I believe that has more to do with switching the ferts to a "bloom blend" than it does with taste improvement. They're just trying to leach out some of the Nitrogen and add Phosphrus rich tea. As a first timer, don't worry about it. If your plants are still looking good you should get a decent yield. Next year you can start getting fancy. After all is said and done - "The best shit is grown with organic shit!!!"
