Nothing but water is enough for a good and efficient flush. 19 days is an average ( 7 days to 2 weeks )

U can flush early in the harvest window. When some of the hairs curled in and starting getting a little color. Distilled water or ro water I recommend flushing with. U still need to pH when u do a flush too.

Nice buds. Darn I see you have already harvested. Typically flushing for 10- 14 days before harvest is more than plenty of time to get any left over nutrients out of your soil which forces your plant to cannibalize the nutrients left in the rest of the plant leading to a better quality smoke. Using a flushing type solution is a matter of preference but not entirely needed. Typically most flushing solutions will have magnesium and sulfur which is reported to boost terpene production. Since most of this is then flushed out with ph correct water some argue whether there is any benefit to actually using one. establishing a strict wet dry cycle will slightly stress your plant to naturally produce more resin and terpenes. Also maintaining a temperature under 80 F and humidity under 40% helps your buds retain those delicious terpenes. Just as important is to dry your buds slowly over a period of 7-10 days to 62% the jar them up and let them cure for about three weeks. The quality of your cure will help improve the smell and taste of you buds. Hope some of this helps.👍

There are various ways to flush before you harvest . Firstly you can do it with just plain water but I advise that you PH correct that water so your plant can continue to absorb everything in the medium before harvest . Secondly there are a wide variety of products that help with flushing if thats what your into , I prefer to use advanced nutrients Flawless Finish , it reduces the flush time by 1 week allowing me to give a few extra feedings of nutrients when the plant is abosorbing them the most . It also cleans up the medium really nice and makes your smoke that much better not only that but it gives your plant(s) the essential nutrients it needs while its finishing up . Really great product very affordable . I also advise that when you're flushing you feed more water then your normally would getting more run off . This will essentially force the nutrients outta your medium basically forcing your plant to only uptake water . Other then that there really isnt much to it , just remember that if your going to use just regular water make sure to PH correct it first so you can still gain benefit from the left over nutrients in your medium . I hope this information is helpful to you on your quest to becoming a Grow Master !! Happy Growing !

Correct, plan to flush two weeks before your ready to harvest. So if you're seeing lots of orange /brown hairs and nice fat buds, sease the nutrients and just plain water from here out. What I do is one major flush per week and then just light watering every 3 days or so. After two weeks, let the soil dry out, give 24 hour darkness (not completely necessary but some strains will produce more resin and increase in smell). I also use terpinator during flowering and flush now.

I would flush her for two weeks and add a teaspoon per gallon of water every other watering.. this will add weight and increase the flavours the molasses in the soil causes the roots to uptake nutrients more efficiently .The last few days s of my flush I did water much cooler then normal and pieces of ice about two cups or so and this was hoping it would simulate the fall weather increasing resin production and two days total darkness of possible this will help with resin ..cheers the best way to tell when is to look at her tricohmes with a magnifying glass or jewels loupe ..

2 weeks before the end(this is determine of the strain) is best for a good flush just air-rated water until it comes out of the bottom
