Flushing ?

[AluminumMonster]

My DWC does not need flushing. I challenge anyone to tell the difference between my organic and my DWC grows and those flushed and those not flushed after a good cure.

+1 No flush needed.

I use Final Flush two weeks prior to my chop, it forces the plant to use its own stores of nutes and it does make a difference in the smoothness. But to each their own, if you feel its a waste of time then it probably is in your instance.

Just wanted to add I quit using Final Flush, in fact I quit flushing and I feed to the end, I found out by starving them the last two weeks was I cutting down on my weight....live and learn. I got caught up in the whole flushing thing awhile back and just found it to be a waste of my time...just my two cents.

TangieDank you reading this thread?
Wish I could tag him . Wonder how I can get him to see this thread. He flushes for like 3 weeks lol his plants are SO Green still I don't get it.

 

[TangieDank]

well . found it before you could tell me. so your telling me I should keep blasting the nutes or just keep going weaker feed? are the scientists at advanced nutrients wrong?

 

[000StankDank000]

So even in soil you guys are saying NO flush or just DWC? Confused. So the ash will be white all will be good?

I don't flush.

I don't flush my DWC or my organic soil grows.

I do not flush. I tapper off my nutes though in the last week.

The age old question.
Personally, I feed water the last 10 days or so, depending n the strain. I would not say that I am flushing, as I am not getting a ton of run off from the pots, just feeding plain PHed water.
I don't do this for the taste as much as the swell. I have noticed that when I feed just water the last days, the calyx swell a little more and a little faster then if I was to feed regular nuit mix. This, in turn, increased my overall weight. We are talking grams, not lb's. Bigger the room, more grams gained.

I use Promix as my medium, growing in 7 gal grow bags. I usually feed nuits 2 times, then water 1 time throughout the grow, from Veg thru week 6-7, then feed plain PHed water. Works well for me.
For me too, at my scale, usuing water the last 10 days or so saves on nuits too, which is a cost savings, as I don't see a need to feed hot mix to the end.

DWC is different imo. The uptake times for DWC is instant, so I would run nuits till the end. In my 7 gal bags, the Promix retains enough nuits to keep on feeding for quite a while by just adding water. Does this make sense?

But I agree with THG, it is near impossible to distinguish between well grown herb that has had nuits to the end vs water at the end.

y'all might consider "flushing" 1ml : 1 gal H2O2 for a bit of stress and swelling as a finish

Wouldn't doing that kill the micro herd?

:yeahthat:

Doesn't H2O2 pretty much kill everything in the soil? Might not matter much at the end of Harvest though.

yep but not entirely---:shocked: depends on how strong the mix is---im still trying to find the right ratio to stress the plant just enough for that last stretch of production the sticky gooey resin

last time i used 4ml : 1gal---all fan leaves turned yellow w/in 24 hrs---sugar leaves remained green/purple and 1 particular pheno looked incredible---she's drying now---looking forward to sharing her in weeks to come :smoke1:
