I do my damnedest, my local hydro guys got me pissed off at them right now though, im using canna a+b and when i went to buy boost (100 bucks a qt) i asked if i couldnt just use a cheeper pk booster like big bud, they sqid yes, but you have to flush longer to wash out the chems from the buds......havent been back since

Oh so I should put grow big in there also the schedule says to only put grow big one in a while

Yes. Use a little of each to balance each of the NPK out.

I've used captain jacks in flower.

I would worry more about neem products. I ruined a whole plant spraying that stuff in flower.

And look no flushing agent recommended, that's weird if they want more money. Perhaps they just mean well lol.

They just came out with Dyna Flush.

Of course the president already admitted we don't need the bloom bottle so.....

So is the plain water is a bad idea to flush with? I'm just now learning I've been reading up and asking people there opinions on the whole flushing process and there is mixed responses what is your process to flush now with that said my plant is not a genetics plant just a bag seed that came out pretty good but any ideas will be appreciated

Flushing is your choice, cannabis is the only plant ive ever heard of anyone flushing, all of the reasons have been posted on this and various other incarnations of this thread over the years, the best argument for it ive heard is for saving a few bucks on nutes at the end of the plants life cycle, the best argument on not flushing imo is not starving them to gain any last min. swell. Good luck and happy growing

I do not "flush". I taper the concentration of nutes to the plants needs until the end. If they don't need any the last week I give water only. Sometimes only the last time. Sometimes they still look hungry.

There is no directions to follow. Just guidelines.

I do leach my pots with maybe an extra gallon of fresh water if I notice salt buildup. But the goal is to only feed what they need.

That article Lucky Luke posted in post #1238 is a good explanation of what happens when a plants flushed @Tx-Peanutt
