I do not flush plants but I grow organic. If I were growing with synthetic nutrients I would be doing drain to waste and flush towards chop!
Robertsanswered grow question 3 years ago
If you are using bottle nutrition you need to flush. And Mr nobody explained a flush where you just provide water letting plant use up nutrition. Causing a fade. Bottle nutes if being used in right amount will make flower bitter and nasty. From experience speaking. Not some article, blah blah bs. I personally ran my own experiment. So I highly recommend flushing if using fertilizer or plant foods to feed plant. Good luck and happy growing ๐ฑ

I grow organically and donโt flush either. I let the plants starve out and fade at the end which depletes the harsh chemicals and allows nature to do its job.

Hi @Hoboslim nice to meet you :)
It's really up of you if to do or not the flush. Many growers do it but I read around that there are not scientific evidences that it really helps the plants.
Take a look here and then decide by yourself

How often use fertilizerHi!
I have a question about fertilization. I use mineral fertilizer from Advanced Hydroponics of Holland (Grow, Bloom, Micro) every time I water. Which can be 2x on hot days. Every 2 to 3 weeks they get worm juice. However, I have now read that you should only fertilize every 2Feeding. Schedule

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

Do you suggest a hard switch like in the Canna schedule, or do you prefer transitioning by mixing the fertilizers?

Hello
I will harvest at the end of November.
What are the pros and cons of flushing plants pre-harvest?
Do you believe flushing significantly impacts the taste of the final product?
Do you personally flush your plants, and if so, what is your specific flushing routine?
Thanks
