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🤜🤛🌱

A sustainable hashish resourceDo you reakon if you had a sea of green solo cup grow, if once the trics are doveloping you could dip the plant for 20 minutes in ice water, give it a shake to extract trichomes then let the plant regrow the trics and repeat?

Contest confusionHey! Completely new to the platform.
I've been selected for a contest that ends in 160 days, due to a moving I won't be able to start a diary for a month from today, more or less.
The question is: will I be out of the contest if I don't harvest before it ends?
Thanks!Other. Other
