How much longer ya think? Flush soon?

Hey All,

Question about when to flush...

Trying to make this as simple as possible- below is some info

Type- Autos- Pics attached
Week- Beginning week 9
Nutes- Bio bizz organic bottled nutes, Blackstrap Molasses, Epsom salts, EWC
Medium- Soil


Ive attached some pics of the plants that seem to be getting close to a flush/plain water feed til chop, but wanted to get opinions of others.

My gut says feed one or two more dose of nutes (about a week or so) and then start giving plain water until harvest. With that being said, I have nothing to compare to as I’m a novice.

Anyone care to share their thoughts about when to flush, and if it’s even truly necessary using bottled organic nutes? (I’ve read conflicting things). If I was using mineral salt nutes I wouldn’t think twice about a flush.

Thoughts anyone?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Check the trichs with a jewellery loupe, prob another one week of nutes like u said but check the trichs, check the pistil ratio.

Trichs are still some clear and cloudy. No amber yet at all, not even on sugar leaves.

Thank you for your input!!

Flushing is for toilets.. not plants...

That’s my initial thought as well, I may feed plain water a few days before harvest but I don’t think I’m flushing two weeks before harvest. It seems illogical to deprive the plant of those nutes when it’s trying to sprint to the finish line.

There is a post around here somewhere or on the net.. someone finally did a side by side flush/no flush.. no difference at all.. just a silly thing people keep repeating.

Autos will be better beyond breeder estimates.. give yourself about another week , continue a feed but at a decreased amount say about half til end. Flushing does nothing but clear salt buildup in medium , not in plant. Autos do not need complicated feeds only enough for about 90 days average.
