    Default Change from vega to flores

    It's about time for me to switch from the vega nutes to the flores ones, as I've just switched to 12/12 6 days ago. My question is whether I should empty the reservoir, removing all the vega nutes before adding the flores, or whether I can just top up the res with flores and wean the plants from one to the other.

    Hi mate..

    I alway clean & rinse out my res every week whether changing feeds or not..
    So yes, i would remove all the veg nutes before adding flowering nutes..
    I usualy wait about 2 weeks from 12/12 or when flowers start to show before changing to flowering nutes..

    Im assuming its Canna your using.?
    I have found some info papers if it helps you out..

    Hah, I'm at week 5 and haven't emptied my res once. I've just been topping it up once a week or so when it's down to 10-20% capacity. I suppose I'll have to do that then...

    Thanks ChuChu

    It can depend on what system you use aswell mate..
    My f&d recirc system has an external 200ltr res so it got done weekly cos it starts to smell..
    If its nft etc, you might get away with top up's using the same veg or flower feed, but i havn't used them so cant really say..
    Anyhow, 2 weeks after 12/12 i would empty the veg nutes, rince & clean, then get the flower nutes in..

    All the best..
    Peace..

    Thanks for your help ChuChu.

    I'm using a Wilma Big 8 which has a 100ltr tank.

    I've not noticed any smell, and the water seems perfectly clean, so I'll leave it a few days and do as you suggest.
