I was given two seedlings around mid june this summer. The genetics have been narrowed down to ether a pk female and a heavy duty tuttie fruity male or sensi star female and heavy duty tutty fruit male. Small error in a mates grow lol. I have been using general organics throughout flowering and noticed pre flowers around 15 of aug. I will note im very close to main. My issue is im unsure when to start to flush or leach the soilless mix im using. I knew that they would never finish under the cold damp conditions we have here this time of year so I have moved them inside under a 1000w hid. I know you can look at the triches to help determine when they are ready but I don't want to start flushing long before they are done. Any advice?
Advice please

If your using organic fert there won't any salts to flush. If your just getting to know a plant it won't be an exact science. I might like your plant at 50 days while you like it at 60 or 70. If you think your close through the scope, within a week start flushing, might flush a week, might flush 3 days. you probably won'teven notice the difference. ymmv

I used to flush. I also used to wear diapers for fear of shitting on myself. If you insist on flushing, use a diluted Bloom Nute Solution (1/8 - 1/4 strength) at 2-3 times the size of your pot size to see any effect. 5 gallon pots will require 10-15 gallons of a 1/8 - 1/4 strength nutrient solution to successfully "flush" your medium.

Sorry about that, all. IDk is correct. It's up to you. If you want a flush to have any effect on your medium, make sure it's 2-3 times the amount of water/mild nutrient solution as your pot size.
EDIT: 5 gallon pots need 10-15 gallons of mild nutrient solution.

Flushing a large pot is one big pain in the ass. Unless your plant is showing signs of distress due to a possible lockout, I wouldn't bother. If you are looking to improve flavor or burn, I would stop feeding nutes the last couple of weeks as that could possibly help, but you shouldn't have to. Peace
