20 days out flush now?

KK4IEM · May 3, 2018

I'm 20 days out from harvest on my first grow. The pistils are starting to change colors and the tricomes are starting to get milky. Should I flush now? Also when I flush do I have to do a full flush or just stop giving then feedings and water only?
here are a few pics of the turn out, slight cal meg deficiency but it's almost over anyway, I have added a little more to the feedings and it hasn't gotten worse.
How much more growth can I expect these last 3 weeks?

I your case I would just water as normal. It looks like it has plenty to get it through the next couple of weeks. Flushing is nothing more than a myth.

You may be looking at three weeks or more even just be patient

A lot more growth if you would have flushed for the final week, instead of the last 3

Exactly wait three weeks at least what medium are u growing in ? Are u using organise or mineral I only do a week to two weeks Max flush in coco perlite and cheap ass potting compost aka peat meat. I don't get crackles or pops off my weeds I use canna and do a pump and dump in the last week I think they are ready then just plain in Ph'ed water just straight from the tape well hose. In auto pots

You would be mad to flush now u will lose so much growth and bunking.

And I u had more light throw it in like a veg t5 trust me a bit of blue spectrum and hps will make it a frost monster

I don’t flush period, simply dry nice and slow. In hydro I taper the feed down to about 200 ppm in soil I use my super soil and just water start to finish maybe adding some new soil to the top to feed a bit longer.

Something i have all ways done, And something i will continue to do ,is flush the Plants.

Most Likely the New Scientific proof ,saying plants don't need flushing was written by a Nutrient Company . So you continue using more Nutrients,In Organic growing supersoil ext then i guess its not has Important ,But when growing in Hyrdoponic set ups i think you should flush,Plus i think it makes the plants Finish off.

Give me a Flushed Plant and a plant that has not been flushed that have been grown in the same garden ,same Environment and i will tell you what one has been flushed ,its smoother.Burn's better.

Haha opened a can of worms lol. Regardles of wether you flush or not its to early. 3 weeks out i start to taper off the nutes by abought 20% a week. 3 weeks out i drop to 800ppm. 14 days out i droo to 600 ppm. Harvest week im at 400 ppm

Its each to there own ,Do what works for you .

Nice-looking Garden! No flush, taper off last few weeks. Plants don't need that much food last week or two. op, learn to taper not flush for best results!
-good luck!

Just to clarify, are you saying straight water or keep adding nutrients? Just confused by the “you have plenty to get through” statement.

Just water looking at the plant it’s definitely not starving.

No more food at 2 weeks too finish, that's the only flush you need.

I thought that’s what you were saying. I actually, be it right or wrong, classify that as a flush lol. But yes the plants look healthy

In soil I never go above 1000 PPM, and stop feeding at week 6 of bloom.
In hydro, I stop at 1600 at 5 weeks, change res, bring it down too 1400 and finish at that number.
My joints burst into flames when I light up, but what the fuck, I get BIG BUD!!!

I do super soil in my soil room. But for hydro I don’t feed past 900 anymore. At the last few weeks I drop to 200ish ppm.

So what would flushing consist of starting 3 weeks before? I just feed light till the end when they stop bulking up in soil and the same with my hydro. All of my soil is outdoor and I just top dress with compost and water in with a bit of run off.

20 days out flush now?
