The only dumb question is the question not asked. Ok Hollatchaboy you can come by my grow anytime.

With a shitload of rain. Haha.
Nature also provides shot glasses with water and paper towels for proper germination.

Seriously your plants spend the last few weeks of their lives packing on the weight and really not until then. People flushing are cheating the plants and thus themselves.

Not my method to germinate but thats what make this so fun!!!!

The last few weeks are most important imo. The plant knows its close to the end, and it's going to focus all its resources into the buds. No food = no resources to be focused.

I’ve done side by side twice. I’ve let others be the judge. Not a single person could actually tell and they admitted it “except I was thinking that first one”. BS. White ash is a sign of a good dry and no unwanted retained moisture. Black ash is because it is not dry even if you can keep a fatty going passing it around. Green grass fires smolder forever.

I didn't flush but I stopped thinking about putting nutrients in those pots a couple weeks out. I think they got what they needed and I got some autumn colors...

So just cut off nutes and give them plain water for the last to weeks, right? Or do growers usually feed them up until they are done?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't there still be nutritional value to the soil at the time of harvest outdoors? I mean, i know the cold locks out P, so that explains color change, but outside of that, aren't other nutrients still available?

It's a topic of debate, but I always look to nature for the answer.

So do you cut off nutes a few weeks out and give them plain water or do you continue to feed them up until they are ready for harvest?

Yes... I would assume... but if your feeding them out doors in the ground they have a lot more nutes than if you were depleting the soil.

It's really up to grower. I personally don't think it matters as long as plant is responding positively to it.

I don't think I had negative affects not feeding mine a couple weeks out... as you can see I had plenty of green leaves and I did get a huge yield.

Nah, I mean naturally. Like in the actual ground, not a fabric pot with soil, but actual ground dirt. No added feed, just what nature provides. I can't imagine to much microbial activity goes on, in frozen dirt. So springtime comes, there has to be nutritional value already in the ground.

flushing: running extra water through a pot past 20% runoff?
or
flushing: using little to no nutrients in the last week(s) of a soil or soilless grow?
problem is there are 2 definitions. one is normal practice and one is not.
