i guess i fed to much nutes 2 1/2 weeks ago with dry amendments in soil. i went 1/2 what gaia green said but i also added 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 plus worm castings and mycorrhizal when i up potting 2 weeks before that. i’m thinking that the girls are at max nutes now and it should taper off with each watering. 2 1/2 weeks into 12/12 and really don’t like the idea of flushing soil. anyone have thoughts on this? i think flushing soil is an absolute last resort ---

From what I see and it was my plant I would let it ride. Just my thoughts good luck. ---

I had that happen on my last one(first one) but I transplanted into miracle grow soil! Then fertilized… yeah, im that guy😂 Probably over reacted, but transplanted into ffof and did nothing but water for a few weeks till runoff numbers showed it needed something. But recovered very well. Great smoke, God rest her soul🥹 ---

Stick with the 2-8-4. Less is best and sounds like you’re topdressing for an organic grow or else I would recommend watering to liberal run off and test the PPMs and PH 🤟 ---

Skip a scheduled feeding and just water. Ole girl might not need the fridge restocked as often ---

> [@BDS](#): > > i think flushing soil is an absolute last resort Without knowing your ppm runoff, uness you do, you do not know how much excess she has. If you do not want to flush, then maybe a good watering only with perfect pH until about 50% runoff? ---

50% run off would be considered flushing would it not? i cringe at the idea of drowning my poor girls and with soil PH is not a consideration. unless maybe your water is stupid high or low ---

My tap ph is 7.5 … i have a 40 gal holding tank with a charcoal filter it runs through. I go through about 30 gallons a week just watering. I havent phd this whole grow. Im strictky organic using Coast of Maine dry amendments rotating with castings tea… with that being said, my advice stays the same. With organics its very hard to burn a plant. ![1000004590](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/1/2/5/1258171a83a948cfb9ea97ec072cf2f527d15299.jpeg) ---

i agree with you with PH being a non issue in soil 100%. my water is 6.2 and i keep it the grow room for at least 2 days before i fill up the watering reservoir which is aerated. i’m organic also, mainly because i’m to lazy to do the math with mixing this that and the other things to make the primo mix. i sure wish i had a room your size place here the correct jealous face emogi a few times ---

You have that grow set up squared away Chitty….I just rode the struggle bus with four plants on my first grow……Damn, very impressive👊
