Flushing

I just wanted to thank you guys for not giving me any serious info as i might have ended up using it and ruined the plant. Obviously you aren't very educated on this subject based on you immediately resorting to immature behavior rather than understanding that there's many nuances involved like how many gallons of water to use. Do u do it daily? Twice a day? Every other day? Does the plant still need to perform photosynthesis (does it need sun for you 3rd graders) during this period? Etc. Your knowledge on this subject is limited (like your maturity) so thank you for not seriously replying. I'd hat to see what would have happened had I used the word "poop". Lol. Loser.
I linked you to the other 4,693 " flushing" threads so you could read and make up your own mind.

IMHO, no need to flush a plant , won't kill it, but it won't do anything flushers say it does.
Good luck

Leeching is nothing but removing salts to avoid lockout.
you don't need 100 gallons of water to leech soil.
Don't overfeed. Issue solved. If you got shit sparking on your cannabis then you sprayed nasty pesticides on it.
Flushing' never was a thing back in the fucking 90s when i started growing. I don't get it.
Companies tell you to feed feed feed, then have other products specifically to resolve what you just fucked up on, over feeding with nutes leading to lockout, which then morons like you 'flushers' look for new products to do nothing.

Questions on flushing, defoliation , led vs hps, will start a shit show on this site, (see answers above)
Lotta bro science here.
Read a few botany/horticulture books , cannabis is just a plant, nothing magical about growing it.
Now go smoke a fatty and chill
 
you know what helps with anger management?

running mass amounts of water thru your grow, because you don't know how to grow and have to ask stupid flushing questions on a pot forum, then get mad because they make you look like the dipshit you are.
You know what helps with immaturity?? Responsibility.

i'm not a dolt and i gave you a serious answer, if you don't want to hear the truth, i can't make you. if you don't overfeed to begin with, theres never any need to flush your plants, as the only real reason to ever do it is to remove built up salts in your pots, which shouldn't be there to begin with, if you aren't overfeeding.
you aren't "smoking nutrients", the nutrients are broken down into ions that the roots absorb, and they're then distributed around the plant, some, immobile nutrients like boron, copper, sulfur and calcium, are used in the actual structure of the plant as its growing, and of course, you can't remove them, it would be like trying to wash the studs out of your house.
mobile nutrients can move around the plant, but cannot be washed out of it. plants use Xylem to transport water and water soluble nutrients from the roots up into the rest of the plant, and Phloem to carry sugars, proteins, hormones, and other things produced by the leaves back into the body of the plant. There is no mechanism in plants to carry "nutrients" from the body of the plant back into the roots. and no "nutrients" in the body of the plant to be removed, there are only cat and anions of those nutrients, and they'll never ever leave that plant.
if you have been over feeding, and need to leech your pots, i'd recommend 4 to 5 times the volume of the pot, poured in slowly and allowed to drain well and dry out before watering again normally. then i'd recommend you quit over feeding.

Thanks for the serious answer but after the unicorn pee stuff I can't take you serious. U were triggered by the word "flushing" for gods sakes.
 
Why did you bother to post a question about flushing since you seem to think you already know the answer. Idiot...
Where do u get that impression? That I already know the answer? Please mister reading comprehension tell me where in any of my posts I eluded to knowing the answer already? No surprise that not only do u have a 3rd grade mentality u also have a 3rd grade reading comprehension level. My god I think I'm gonna stop smoking pot before I end up like u gmo eating zombies.
