I'm in the same mind set as others who are saying no flushing just water. Dr.Bruchbugbee is a good refrence point who researches cannabis. Save your nutrients and don't spend money on finishing products. Just water and let it go. Good Luck!

I'd follow whatever your nutrient manufacturer recommends. General Hydroponics includes a flush week in their feed schedules, I can't speak for the others. Many commercial grows still flush, we do where I work. If you do flush, I wouldn't do it any longer than a week before harvest or you might miss out on a little potential bulking.

Stop all fertilizers/supplement 10-14 days before your expected/estimated harvest day and give just plain water, in normal amounts and at normal intervals for those last 10-14 days. No need to drown your plants with gallons of water as a"flush", the plant will do it all by itself, naturally. Just stop all feeding/fertilizers 10-14 days before harvest....easy, peasy.

These has been a lot of research done on this. It’s now known that there is no difference in feeding all the way through vs flushing your media. However, Dr Bruce Bugbee also found there to be no difference in the last week of feeding nutrients vs feeding straight water(NOT FLUSHING). So the thought is, save your money the last week and use straight pH balanced water. Water enough to achieve roughly 20% run off. I hope this helps.

You can feed her until you chop but you can also start flushing +/-2 weaks before you wanna chop. There is a study that shows: flushing is a myth - got nothing to do with the taste or anything. Dry and cure gets you the taste.
