Flushing is a bro science. Most commercial cultivators aren’t flushing at all anymore. I switched last year and haven’t turned back. Best of luck on your grow!! 👍🍀🔥👏.

I flush for a day or two only. I used to flush 14 days. No more. Flushing is bro science. Commercial cultivators are moving to no flush at all. Best luck on your grow. 👍🔥👏🍀🍀

High buddy! You can start flushing now! Just give water like you did before but this time without nutrients till harvest. Do not overdo it, that will only cause problems. Happy Harvest! 💚

wait.. its still a long ways till harvest. dont rush. i start flushing about 14 days to harvest. just giving her water from then on, that gives em time to process whatever nutrients i cannot flush out and then they still have lots of life in the plant itself.

I'm along the lines of no flushing is needed unless their is a catastrophic issue in the medium. And lowering or tapering feeds is not the same as flushing but usefull end of grow. Best not to waste your nutrients that cost a lot and allow the plant to use up whats in the pot. Flushing is the act of dumping copious amounts of water Ph'd or not though the medium to flush it like a toilet and wash out any excess buldup in the medium. it is not needed if it is getting fed correctly with some runoff each run. The belief that it makes the buds taste less like fertz is not true. plants lack the systems to expel excess like that. they don't pee it out. it just starves them. Plants will move any available nutrients into the buds and yellow the rest of the plant to keep them alive the longest as its whole point is to reproduce. A proper cure will help with any harsh taste and really brings out the final product. its the finishing touches if your not curing your weed right its a massive waste of time an effort. There is a double blind study done for taste on flushed vs unflushed and they "cannabis connoisseurs" could not tell the difference. also when they analyzed the buds in a lab they also saw no significant different in chemical composure of flushed vs unflushed buds. This is just my view, other may disagree but I reference the people who research cannabis for a living. They know more then me and should be point on any topics we have little understanding of but just do it cuz it once was the thing to do. like driving with no seat belts or smoking while pregnant. we learn after the fact and correct the issue their will always be some resistance and they will be left behind.

So, I've looked at your diary. You're using soil So, no you never flush sol unless there's something seriously wrong with its ph or overfed and even then, I normally fix by just doing 3-4 controlled ph feeds. Soil is very easy to fix. But, you don't flush it. Especially when you've weeks left in flowering pal So, you wanna soft flush. This actually doesn't consist of any water coming out the bottom and been thrown away. It just means, you're letting the plant eat what's left in the pot from the weeks Core NPK bloom feeds 450 or so ppm once or twice every week. Depending how big your plant is, mineral nutrients organic nutrients last longer in pots, mineral nutrients need follow up feeds more so. But in general, organic r not. Feed, water, water (can be an enzyme or a non NPK nutrient, like a root stim or light calmag/Epsom salt feed). And only if the plant needs it. Give another feed. But, feeds shouldn't be within 4+ days of each other. There's no need. As I said. There's so many stims, Bloom stims that have no core NPK ppm but have a big bacteria ppm which can be given in ernest to a soil plant. They love all that. Sugars/Resin enhancers etc also.

I flush after using a toilet. I'd try to correct whatever imbalance you have on your nutes going forward. Way to early to starve your plant with urban myths even if you believe in them. Due to fundamentals of osmosis and how it is important to biology inside the plant, having a substrate devoid of nutes is not necessarily a positive thing, despite the so-called "common sense" that people apply to it. if your plant is overfed, you cannot flush out excess minerals. There is absolutely no biological system or anatomy in the plant capable of excreting minerals in such a way. if overfed, some rate of provisioning is too high and needs adjustment, sure, but once the plant is showing toxic signs, all you can do is wait for it to use up what it has and hope it remains healthy enough not to decimate the canopy in the meantime. that doesn't mean you should starve it of all nutrients.. just the one showing signs of toxicty should be reduced. E.g. if those lower blurry leaves are dark green and glossy, reduce N going forward until you see that start to reverse or heal - in this case should reverse, but not all damage heals. Flushing is a useful tool for certain catastrophes involving the rootzone. One thing it does not do is reduce minerals already inside the plant. This is proven beyond a doubt. If watering enteringthe plant is 0EC, that can be a negative. If the fluid around cells is extremely diluted, water fill flow into cells in an attempt to balance out across the cell membrane. Might even make soem cells pop (extreme) or possibly hinder functionality in less extreme ways. if you want a better answer, find a PhD.

Yes, it is best to rinse until the water has the same EC value as your water that you use for rinsing, preferably 0. After that, do not water again for 7-10 days until harvest. Before harvesting, I would turn off the lights for an additional 48 hours for the last batch! Good luck😎🏻

Man if you’re only week 4 of flowering you’re only half way done brother. I don’t suggest flushing or harvesting yet.
