The question of flushing came up in another thread and since I could not find a good older thread, I thought we could discuss this again for the many newer growers we have.

Well now I have harvested six plants in my begginer career and on 5 of them I fed all the way up to chop. The last I topped the rez of with reg water the last 2 weeks. I can honestly tell no difference in the bud flavor.

In hydro it means toping your Reservoir off in between changes with just ph 'd h2o. I change my Res out weekly and thru out the week i add just ph'd h2o back to Res to keep it to safe lvls. Gotta keep enough water in tub so you dont burn your pumps up.
As for flushing, I flush with just ph'd H2o for the last week. I chop a few early and a few late, for the different highs, so some only get a few days of flush while the others get a full week.

I am hydro and I flush on Wednesday of the last week before the Sunday chop. I also turn the lights off on Friday night and they come back on Sunday a few hours before the chop. I figure that the flush cannot hurt since it is only for the last few days and I have read that the lights out will produce a little more resin, plus I have also read that you should harvest just after lights on when THC production is at its highest. IMO if you are using plain water for the last week or two, then you are flushing, however I do use a flushing agent.

imho, flushing is neccesary only if you feed high parts.
I actyually "Flush" twicw during flowering.
When I say "Flush", I mean flush.
I will run stright R/O water thru the medium until my runnoff is very low (3-500ppm). This is as a preventitive of nuit lockout, which WILL occur if you are feeding high ppm thoughout the plants life. High ppm is 15-1800ppm.
The last 2 weeks, I also feed nothing buy water. In my experience, I see a greater swelling of the caylx then I do without.
More importently, it saves me $ on nuits the last couple weeks, as nuits are simply not needed.
my 2 cents.
