Flushing

Hey bro, you're doing fine. I don’t do a full flush either, I just taper nutrients down over time, then give plain water or super light feed (like 10% strength) in the last week. Never had an issue with taste or quality doing it that way. I’d just keep going with water, keep checking trichs daily, and let her finish on her own terms. Whatever method you use, the key is timing. 🤞🍀♥️

Flushing is the act of pushing copious ammount of water plane or mixed with a flushing agent though the pot in the thought it forces the plant to use up its "excess" nutrients and makes the buds taste less chemically. Its dumb. Its not how the plant works. It will take all and any available nutrients from every other part of the plant and maintain that homeostasis in the buds. multiple studies confirmed their is little to no changes in buds mineral composition when a plant was flushed and many double blind sturies where pro pot heads could not tell a taste difference in flushed vs not flushed weed. and on that taste test they even preferred not flushed weed but that is very a. anecdotal. Just water last week or two without it leaching the medium is fine. It allowed the plant some food and does not instantly starve it. its going to be drinking less anyways. And no where in nature where the plants grow best do they get flushed. I'd just give water as needed no need to add in a flushing agent like flasless finish. KISS. keep it stupid simple.

Flushing, if any, depends on your personal setup (mostly medium and somewhat the nutes you run). Not to jump in and contradict 01011 with science as is customary at this point, but flushing naysayers are the best because they out themselves as being either a lazy bum, uneducated on the plant, or bad at cultivating...all of which you should generally steer away from. The only arguments against flushing are: 1. Some rando tomato farmers on TikTok saying crap like, 'we dont flush our tomatoes har har gotemmm' which is true but also I don't smoke tomatoes...so, ignore those types for sure. Pure laziness and complacency. 2. Folks have had/heard about good non-flushed runs and bad flushed runs. They lack the ability to dig deep into the mechanisms behind the scenes, pinpoint the source of variation for runs, and so on. To this point, I simply say that you'll find gas in ditchweed if you look long enough. We want repeatability and science over here. I'd also point them towards free salt cycles in the plant, which has direct implication for flushing...like what is the point of just throwing it in water? If you see a bump at night, cycle that flush water. If you're flushing for removing nutes, use an additive. Same cycle implies severing the roots immediately during mid-dark period for an utter minimum of nasty stuff in your flower. Add in a controlled fade, and congrats...you're now one of the top 5% of homegrowers whose flower folks actually wanna twist up. For me, I flush because I assume abundance if I cannot discern a deficiency, right? I mean, what would be the chances I somehow hit the exact amount the plant wanted? Not good. For that, and cleaning my hydrotek for a 1 hour turnaround on cut, I flush every run. I take the flush further from a nutrient uptake solution to a metabolic focused one if needed depending on the flower structure, steering the fade. There is this one scientific study with a poo pile of a n that claimed to have debunked flushing. That paper was written by a company that claims to be able to spin up any cannabis research project you want, which is basically a puppy-mill version of cannabis research with old cuts, poor measuring, no statements on nuance, and definitive statements like claiming flushing is a myth whilst the majority of growers swear by it. Unflushed weed is bad for your health. Fact fax.

Just water with plain water the last 10-14 days, if you grow for extracts you don't really need to flush, but for flower it makes the curing time shorter :)

Hey bro, hope ya good man, Please just flush with plain water. It never makes sense to me to add mixes to flushes to clear different chems. Ive grown 25 years and never once have i flushed with anything other than plain water (sometimes i add a natural honey to the water, warm the water and add a little honey then let the water cool before flushing) But never added anything else. Plain waters waorked for me for quarter of a century my man. Save your money and possible health and just add water mate. Natures own natural flush

If you go with organic line, there is no need to pour nutes, they will be available only for things which will grow after weed, nothing will break down to be available for plant uptake. But you grow with Plagron ;) you must start few weeks before harvest.

The last 10 days I usually give water and Flawless. I'll go Flawless, next watering just water and next Flawless, then water until the end. I usually have a build up of nutes in the soil by the time it's near the end. It's not really Flushing but I don't see the point in loading the soil with more nutrition that close to chopping.

flushing is for a catastrophe in your medium that you can't deal with in any other way. it should be done due to necessity.

Flushing is nonsense to do whimsically, but if your heat is set on it, it also won't hurt anything. Whatever the expert 'flushers' tell you, i'd make it relative to the state of your canopy. If it is not strong, do a shorter flush for the sake of the plant. Those 'finishing' products probably don't do anything useful, either. Genetics = quality, not fertilizer. fertilizers are made of commodities. there may be some differences, but none of these differences can put lipstick on a pig.
