9 days of flushing in hydro (clay pebbles), is it enough ? Thx
Maskedcucumberstarted grow question 3 years ago
6 or 7 days of flushing at 0.3 EC and leaves are still not yellowing. I fed them almost all run at 1.15 including 0.4 nutes from tap water which seems quite weak to me but they wouldn't eat more. I've been told from 4 to 15 days for a good flush in hydro. What's your experience ?

About 10 days before harvest I bring the feed down to .8 and see how she reacts. Typically I bring the EC down to .5-.6 by harvest time. (DWC)
There have been 2 studies that show flushing is ineffective in reducing the nutrient concentration in buds. Not sure of the obsession of killing your plants before harvest.
A dying plant is more susceptible to bud rot, WPM and pests.
So keep them healthy and happy all the way through.

Flushing is a myth, the water does not remove anything that's all ready inside the plant. its been debunked but if it makes you feel better continue on with what you are doing. Any sort of agent/product marketed for flushing is a even bigger waste of money and time.
Good Luck!

High Maskedcucumber,
Give it a few more days. It is an indication that when her leaves start to change colours that she is using her nutrition storage.
I always flush around 10 days on coco. And I flush the coco pretty heavy with around 25% pot volume every time I flush.
Happy Harvest! 😋

I do 1 to 2 weeks in hydro. Coco I tend to do 2 weeks. They don't seem to start fading till after a week of nothing but ph water. A week regardless getting nutes out of plant. After that it is just desired ripeness. Enjoy🤜🤛🌱

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?10 months ago
