Flush Advice

Long story short, I watered 2 days ago with 1/2 strength nute's .... today I had a look at the girls and they are showing cloudy trichomes . my question is should I let the soil dry right out before flush I am I ok to flush tomorrow even though the soil is still wet ??? much thanx !!! stay high my friends !

what are you flushing them for?

flushing to harvest in 2 weeks or so

never mind.

Racerboy is saying you don't need to flush I think. (Please correct me if I misunderstood),

It is a very touchy subject and I have flushed and not flushed. You know what, I could not tell the difference.

Try it out for yourself and decide whether it's worth it or not.

we got a winner... and i agree with mr john, if you have two or more plants, flush half, don't flush the other half, dry and cure the same, smoke and compare.. i have tried this myself and noticed not a bit of difference in the two..

well I have to thank you for saving me a crazy amount of time and effort !!!!!

Flushing is a rather divisive subject here on RIU

I don't want to get in a flush vs no flush pissing match, far too many threads dedicated to that. I will say this though flushing is necessary in a lot of instances. I don't know racers methods but I know he knows his stuff.

Few things to consider (my opinion / experience):

Are you using organic or synthetic ferts, synthetic = flush

What is your medium? I've read and or met a lot of organic soil growers and few if any of them flush.

What is your runoff? I pay really close attention to this and I'm a Sunshine #4 grower. I try to get my run off at or below 200ppm before harvest, with SS#4 it tends to hold salt/mineral and run off can get crazy, I had 1 plant at 3k+ a few weeks ago but got it down to a healthier range.

Try both ways, I find I get a lot more crackling and black ash when I don't give a 2 week flush, just did a 5 - 7 day flush on some girls and not happy with the smoke.

flushing is what you do to turds. keep plants healthy, don't overfeed, no need for feel good forum BS

I'll post my results in a couple of weeks. I just PH'd watered one day and then chopped the next morning.

i remember an 18 year old telling someone about the chemical side to flushing(LEACHING)?
and how the burning of the salts and/or carbon idk?were normal and flushing is a waste of time.?
................he got this info from his father who was a chemist.
