i know i will regret this.......what is a troll anyway?
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]

I just looked at his other posts. This hermaphrodite is a just a troll. He started out in the newb section and now he is here. FTLOG!!

Awesome!!! Glad to see this thread is alive again!
Okay then you soggy perps, lets see some shots of your tables.

Heres my 2 2x4 tables at 3 and 6 weeks respectively.

I didn't lollipop these, mostly because i'm still really uncomfortable with the idea of taking 3" of growth off of a 9" plant.

Once i'm a little more dialed in, i'll take some time and conduct some tests to see for myself whether or not its worth it.






Anyhow, while you're all busy posting some shots of your tables, you can also tell me what you think of flushing.

Whats the deal, generally grow books reccomend flushing for the last week or two of flowering, but many growers (including me, in soil...) have tried both ways and not noticed big difference.
Having said that, I imagine i will flush my tables at the end just to save on nutes.
Anyone have any thoughts on that issue?

Not sure, I have a 2X4 table that I have a pert. harvest on. So one table running it all at 1400-1700PPM all throught even when I chop cause all the plants share the same table. Smokes good to me, def. making some really dank shit. I tried flushing when using soil, and I don't see a difference at all with the hydro pert. harvest w/no flush when your talking about taste and smoothness when smoked! :) Hydro Vs. Soil though, Hydro is the only way to go for me. Plants grow faster better stronger, and makes more resin thick bud then I ever got with soil. Not to mention all the bugs where gone and fungus and mushrooms when I went to hydro. Had tons of problems growing in soil. Hydro is a piece of cake! But I'm sure there is someone that is going to argue with what I do. It works completely fine for me. Kinda like Al's growing. He never flushed and did a test that I did, and notice no difference to me or him.

No to mention, I think with Perlite,(Its bright white, reflects light back up to the plants!) and continuing to use nutes all the way to the end, there are those last 2-3 weeks, you get get another wave of pistil growth and resin, I think it produces a slight more bud/resin in the stages where most people are just giving plane water. Sure you could flush for 2-3 weeks, but ya going to miss the extra productive activity that's takes place. I believe it is said that the nutes in the leafs of the plant can stay active and feed the plant, but will run out when flushing in a week or so. Now think, if it still had its supply of nutes, it might have show more results!

That's just me and how I grow and its working very well. Anyone care to differ?

I agree with Dewey...

The pack on up to 25% of their total weight on those last weeks... it seems counterproductive to starve them just then...

I think a good dry and cure regimen is more important than flushing by far...

Just my thoughts though...:joint::peace:

I'm in the process of setting up my ebb & flow sog and have a few questions for anyone with a similar system. Those of you using 6x6x7 pots filled with expanded clay pellets, what is your pump cycle like? I have a test plant in my system and I have been flooding it 6 times a day for 15 minutes, recently I dropped it down to 4 times a day. Is this sufficient? Also, what is your veg height or time?
I realize these questions are specific to my strain and the climate of my area but I'm just wondering what has worked for others in the past.

Four times a day is good as long as the drainage is relatively fast each time. I use RW cubes to reduce the number of times I flood per day. Watch for overwatering...most common mistake of E&F systems. I flip into flower at 12-14" tall. :peace:
