Does anyone has or recommend a tutorial on how to flush properly in soil (I’m using royal mix plagron and also used bottled nutrients 1/2 water only) because I’m watching a lot of videos and it’s really confusing tbh. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

So much info out there that it is easy to get confused. Forget everything you have researched on this one and keep it simple. When you flush the first goal is to wash all the excess salts out. So your first 2 waterings give them a heavy watering and make sure you get a lot of runoff. After that you want the plants to use up all the nutrients they have so just water them with plain water. Don't overthink it. When the plants use up all of the nutrients you will see the leaves fade and start to yellow. This tells you she is ready and your smoke will be clean. Good luck

@Hazeterpz It all really depends on why you are flushing? is it too remove excess nutrients due to an overfeed or just a final "rinse" before harvest. The only Advice I can give you is NOT to flush for 2 weeks as some would tell you to do. Why?? Because it's counterproductive You see cannabis plants will bulk up the most in the final weeks before harvest and if during this stage all they get is water, then you are deliberately starving your plants when they need it the most. Because the plants vascular system works against the flushing principle The Only REAL way to remove unwanted things from ya buds is to use a proper Dry and Curing technique. as "flushing" does nothing to the insides of the plant tissue only the medium you are growing in actually gets "flushed" Also when using soil it's almost impossible to completely remove the minerals etc as your soil contains many different organisms etc. You can reuse that soil again and again and again just by adding some supplements to bring it back to full health. Others will definately disagree with this but I will continue to only give a 2-3 day "rinse" of Plain water before my harvests and No more

buy a TDS meter, watch EC level of runoff water from start,flush with pure water either ph'd or not until EC drops to around 1.0.You can even flush until it read 600-700.From that point your soil will be very low on nutrients,you can keep feeding your plant at small doses until harvest. Or you can do this like a last feeding ,4-5 days before harvest and chop.Or you can extend the flush period by dropping EC value of runoff by only 0.3-0.5 at a time.This way you can do 2-3 flushes in last 10 days.Aim is to let the plant use what is left in soil.If they are seriously nute burnt,do an extended flush session taking at least a week.or they are still green and healthy looking,do a single flush 5 days before harvest and chop.and you don't need to flush if your leaves are fading to pale green already.my opinion.

There are many point of view, personally I use to give double water of the size pot (ex. 22l for 11l pot) two weeks before harvest. I use pH water, now I'm planning to try Canna flush and see what happens. I was told you can also flush by giving only water during the last two weeks but I never tried this way. You can do a flush or more it depends on what you're feeding your plant with. This is my opinion, as I said there are different ways with time you'll find the best for you, good luck my friend ☀️
