9 days of flushing in hydro (clay pebbles), is it enough ? Thx
Maskedcucumberstarted grow question 2 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🤜🤛🌱

Small EOL bananas, longer riping worth it?I've got some small bananas on my Euphoria from RQS (in my diary). I was close to harvest (probably in a few days). Do you think I can wait few more days for the trichomes to get more ripe without having to worry about pollination and microseeds? Just asking out of curiosity :)

Flushing with distilled water and citric acidHi guys! Decided to finish my diary (Pineapple Express), which I should have finished a little earlier.
The question is as follows. I decided to flush with distilled water and citric acid. Is this ok or not a very good idea?
Thanks!Week 13

About NutrientsHello, there are two issues I'm curious about. First of all, does A.N Revive benefit the plant during the transplant process? 👽
My other question is, do you prefer Carboload or Budcandy? Is there any extra benefit to using both together? 🙌Week 2

Soil problemsSo I have switched my grow medium to soil and perlite from Bat-special. I give my plants 2L of water every 4 days but the soil never holds the water as all of it comes out the bottom. is this normal? there is so much runoff. 2L of water shouldn't be pouring out a 25L pot.
