When do I start final flush

Why the fuck are people dumping chemicals on their plant?
How do you grow without the chemical H20????
Water is a transparent and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms. Its chemical formula is H2O, meaning that its molecule contains oneoxygen and two hydrogen atoms, that are connected by covalent bonds.

or the chemicals N P and K

Nitrogen is a chemical element with symbol N and atomic number 7.

Phosphorus is a chemical element with symbol P and atomic number 15. As an element, phosphorus exists in two major forms

Potassium is a chemical element with symbol K and atomic number 19. It was first isolated from potash, the ashes of plants, from which its name derives. In the periodic table, potassium is one of the alkali metals.

During flowering almost all of a plants energy goes towards bud development. if you deprive the plant of nutrients during late flower the plant will start using your fan leaves as emergency energy source. it will pull everything it can out of the leaves and guess where that stuff is headed? Your buds. The 'chemicals' everyone is so paranoid about have been your plants food source since the beginning. Your plant turns them into the carbohydrates it needs for growth. Thinking that running some plain water through your plant will get rid of anything is like thinking that you can lose weight after 20 years of eating tacos and bacon cheeseburgers by just consuming Evian for a weekend.

Exactly, it's crazy to me sometimes all the flush threads you see here on a daily basis. People act like they're growing with plutonium. Without the "chemicals" people are trying to flush there is no life plant or animal. Biology has a acronym for the six most important life creating chemicals. SPONCH

If you didn't hit them with pk at first signs of sex, expect about 2 extra weeks of flowering. Most breeders calculate the shortest flowering with early flower nutes. Probably shouldn't even bother checking trichomes till day 62. When most of the white hairs are gone is when I start checking.
i have been giving them the canna coco line all the way through in cocohydro 60/40 just finished p.k from week 3-4 they are swelling but not all joined up yet

I think it's safe to say he meant chelated salt nutrients, rather than "chemicals"

I am using Canna also. Every 4 weeks, i will flush the Coco then feed. I am past when the breeder said they would be done and just saw my first Amber. I expect a couple more weeks. I plan to flush at 30% Amber and chop 2 days later. Right or wrong am sure the frosting on them will smoke nice.

Ok, I will use your guide that you claim is right instead of all the other guides that claim they are right. Tell me please what source you claim is the definitive guide to growing marijuana. That way I can run it by your guide first.

I know for SURE that the plants I have grown do not match when the breeders CLAIM they will be done.
what GUIDE says it takes 2 weeks longer if you don't PK em? Because that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard

this isn't accurate at all, make sure the advice is correct before giving it out please.

I confused just PK with giving flower nutrients AND flipping to 12/12 at 3 weeks. I will shut up and stand in the corner now. Regardless, if you are growing for anything but speed, it typically takes at least a couple weeks longer than what the breeder says.

Wow you know nothing about the science... Maybe letting it sit in the dark for 5 days might kill some chlorophyll however that usually takes quite a bit of curing to accomplish.
I never claimed to be Bill Nye, but I have be growing half as long as you are old. So I do know a little. I was just stating my pk booster says flush for 5 days and a lot of nutrients say discontinue in final week of flowering. Cal mag, silica, Koolbloom,ect...

ive never added calmag or silica just the canna coco line, when the buds get heavy and lean over a bit do they have to be upright or can they lean a little

this STILL does not shorten time. A breeders time is a recommendation. ALL things being perfect. The best way to grow is to not even count time.I pull my plants when they are ready. I have NO clue to how long they have been in flower. the plants are ready when they are ready, you can't speed things up, you CAN fuck it up though, by pulling too early.

BTW, the first 2 weeks of 12/12 is when the plant grows the most and needs those veg nutes,not bloom. Nutes do not dictate the amount of flowering time. I don't even use bloom nutes and i get rock hard nuggs and some plants do over 1/2lb

I humbly apologize for being aggressive towards you, that wasn't fair or polite, and is a poor reflection of my character.
I could have said that much more diplomatically.
