bruxupanswered grow question 4 years ago Hey, it really depends how far along you are. I usually keep feeding nutrients/fertilizer up to and including the 6th week of flower, and then I start flushing and rinsing out the soil in the pot. Depends on the strain, of course, but most strains are done bud development by this point and are working to make the existing buds more dense. There is usually still enough excess nutrients in the soil, the roots, the plant, and it's leaves. By flushing it forces the plant to use whatever remaining nutrients it has stored in itself and she'll be able to survive the last 2-4 weeks before harvest. Doing this will also make your smoke much more smooth and enjoyable, and not as harsh tasting. Hope this helps. Happy growing! 👍
