u dont need to flush ur garden mate, if ur talking about getting rid of salt build up or nutrient overdose the correct term is leaching the soil mate, u only really need to flush at the end with chemical nutes. im not sure if u have to flush to prevent salt build up when using tap water because i use rain water myself.

if u get urself some bio-bizz mate u wont regret it, my bud tastes as good the day its dried as it used to 2-3 weeks into the cure. i love the stuff, the taste is amazing and its cheap, and u dont have to worry about starving ur plants for 2 weeks u feed right till chop if u want

good luck

the only reason im asking is a few lads i know flush theirs quite regular and they get good results, also my babies were looking a bit unwell so i flushed them and now they've come back to life. this is my first grow so any help is welcome.

sorry bro, ur in coco? right? if u are then i think u need to leach the medium from time to time but dont take that as an answer i have no idea. u need to wait for someone else 2 help u sorry mate. looking healthy mate, strange looking plant, is it uk cheese?


ilg

eta- a 6 inch fan is no good with a 4 inch filter , the only difference u can have is a filter one size too big for ur fan not the other way round it will create too much drag, u need a 6 inch filter mate, either that or get a 5 inch fan and filter which should be fine for a 400 watt light, if ur space is not tiny u cud get away with buying a 4 inch ruck for ur 4 inch filter, hope this helps



im using cana tera plus, im doing just about everything that my mates do. i know coco a and b is for coco soil but my mates use it in cana tera and they get really good results.
the plants in the pic are 1x skunk no1 1x blue dream and the rest are ice.
mr cheese
mate forget all the chems, i only uses mother earth super tea all way thru and the results speack for themselves, no need to ph as it comes out at 6.4 with 1.2 feed which is what i peak at.
iv done test grows, same starin same room ect using chem ferts n mother earth, willy nelson the strain was n the mothereart blew the rest away in quality, resin and taste.... hope this helps...mrc
