Absolutely no need to flush

Just a res change will do

Some folk even mix grow and bloom together for the first couple of weeks

cheers for the quick reply,just read sometimes around the forum that a 24hr plain water after a res change gets rid of the build up of salts,what you reckon the owd,just replace with de-chlorinated water and add my flores straight away

cheers owd,whats the benefits of using vega and flores for the first two weeks of flower,if any.if recommened,is it a 50/50 mix then

i think plants dont go straigh from veg to flower overnight , its a gradual process of about 2 weeks ime , so they are still growing so want N

this is why i do it . if i dont i find i lose a few older fans leaves to yellowing (lack of N )

Cos there isnt if you feed your plants right as there should be no salt build up

Plus the build up you talk of cant be flushed out with water so why starve your plants for a day

Hi all - Im in the same position - Going onto 12/12 for the first time tonight. I was under the impression that I should stay on the Veg nutes for a week or so then onto Flower (and this is the start of the Flower cycle!) Is this wrong? using Hesi HW nutes btw. THX

no mate its fine
