Buds

Flushing removes as much chlorophyll as possible before harvesting which means far less time having to cure, it’s widely know nutrients alter terpenes taste and smell so getting rid of as much as possible means flower is much better in flavour and burns far more evenly. Sadly there is a small number of clowns who preach plants don’t need flushing, they are the kind who can’t tell the difference between ok weed and real high grade quality or they’ve never truly had 10/10 flower

if it makes you feel good as a person, but it doesn't do anything positive for the plant in any normal context of a healthy plant. Some degredation toward end can be inevitable but not 100% of the time. I often have shades of purple or some mild damage at end, but a damaged canopy is not a positive, ever, lol... that's a fundamental misunderstanding of what photosynthesis provides to the plant, lol. That's like thinking a basseball is traveling faster when it hits a catcher's mitt than when it leaves the pitcher's hand.. .because of magic!

Yellowing leaves occurs at the end of of the plants life naturally. It also occurs during deficiency and lockout. If near the end it is natural and removing them can be done I tend to leave them for pictures lol. Regarding flushing you only want to do this once the thrichomes are at your desired color.. Get a 60x magnification jewlers loop, ac infinity has one for 10 bucks. Check the thrichomes. For a cerebral high thats uplifting start flush when all are cloudy and very very few are clear. For couch lock body high that is sedative start flush when thrichomes are 30-40% amber and the rest are cloudy. For a good down the middle effect start flushing when 10-15% are amber and the rest are cloudy. If your not forsure you can sacrifice one limb early and although it's not flushed you can compare it to the more mature buds you let go longer, thus learning which effect you prefer more next time. Goodluck. Please consider selecting me as the answer so I can be entered for a chance to win grower of the month contest I would really appreciate your support 😊 🙏

The decision to flush your cannabis plants depends on various factors, and the timing can vary based on your cultivation approach. Here are some considerations: Natural Senescence: Cannabis plants naturally go through senescence, where older leaves yellow and die off. This is a normal part of the plant's life cycle. Flushing for Harvest: Some growers flush their plants by stopping nutrient feedings and watering with plain water before harvest. The goal is to remove excess nutrients from the plant, enhancing the final taste and smoothness. Observation: If you observe that your plants are naturally yellowing as part of the senescence process, you might not need an extended flush. However, if the yellowing is due to nutrient issues, flushing could be beneficial. Personal Preference: Some growers prefer a more extended flush, starting a couple of weeks before harvest, while others may flush for a shorter period. Individual Plant Needs: If you have different plants with different nutrient needs or maturity levels (like Janis and Jimi), you can tailor your approach to each plant's specific requirements. If you've been cutting off completely yellow leaves, it suggests that senescence is occurring, and you might not need an extended flush for those plants. However, for plants like Jimi that might need more time, you can adjust your flushing timeline accordingly. In summary, flushing can be influenced by factors like plant health, nutrient buildup, and personal preference. Tailor your approach to each plant's specific needs and observe how they respond during the flushing process.
