Fertilizing until the end ?

Would you feed your plants with fertilizer until the end and then flush them a day before harvest or would you just miss the fertilizer the last one or two weeks and harvest? (mineralic fertilizers on soil)

I wouldn’t feed to the end and just flush a day before harvest — that’s kinda pointless tbh. The plant won’t have time to use all the leftover nutrients, and you’ll probably end up with harsh smoke and a weird taste. Best move (especially with mineral nutes in soil) is to stop feeding like 10–14 days before harvest. Just give plain pH’d water and let the plant naturally fade out. You’ll see the leaves yellowing a bit, and that’s a good sign — it means it’s using up what’s left inside. Some people do a light flush at the start of that 2-week window, but it’s not mandatory in soil if you’ve been feeding properly. The key is just not dumping more nutrients in at the end. Clean finish = better taste, smoother burn. Hope that helps!

Hey there ! I would agree to philosophy420. Just water them with plain water for min 1 week before harvesting and it should be fine. Good luck and happy growing 👊🍀

With mineral nutes in soil, best move is to stop feeding 10–14 days before chop and run plain pH’d water (6.0–6.5) till harvest. You’re flushing out excess salts so your buds don’t taste harsh or chemical. Flushing just a day before won’t cut it, plants need time to burn through what’s stored. Your setup looks dialed, just ease off the nutes, let 'em fade nice and slow. You’ll get smoother smoke, better ash, and full flavor. Let the plant finish clean.

I would stop all fertilizers and supplements 10 days before harvest and give just plain water in normal amount and at normal intervals for those last 10 days.
