First grow, when should I flush it?

High GreenleafEIRE, The best is to flush the last 2 weeks. That will start when around half of the pistils (hairs) turned brown. But even better is to look at the trichomes with a x60 pocket microscope. When about half of the trichomes turned into a milky white colour it is time to start flushing. Flush for 2 weeks, just give 20% from the pot volume in pH 6.2 water till the top layer is dry and keep repeating this till the 2 weeks are finished. Both of these indicators will be around the same time and make sure that you will harvest them on full potency! When you are in a doubt and want to ask again when to harvest you can always send me a private message! Happy Growing! 😋

plants growing in the wild will never have the opportunity to be flushed and it is something growers have adapted as part of their style because of how lazy we have become on feeding. The only time a flush is needed is if the fertilizer concentrations are to strong and they build up in the medium. Doing a flush end of life will make the fan leaves turn colours sure, but it is not moving "chemicals" out of the buds. The plants are cannibalizing themselves to keep the buds alive, that's its soul purpose for living is to reproduce. It does not flush anything out of them. This has been tested in labs. It also does not make the ash burn cleaner "whiter", this is also debunked in labs and is due to how hot the joint burns and that is in turn related to how dry the bud is and its density inside the paper. In short if you want to only give them ph'd water the last week of life and save some money on nutrients. go for it; I think its a good plan, Just don't lie to yourself and say its making a cleaner smoke. That shit gets broken down in the curing phase. something that is a whole topic all on its own with many segways into other topics.

All I can say is do what makes sense to you. Stopping feeds for 2 weeks before harvest doesn’t make sense to me. I personally taper my feeds down slowly once I’m sure bulking has finished.. then maybe 2 days of just pH’d water.
