Flushing Before Harvest

If ur plants can take a 10-16 day flush their ways over fed maybe not burned.but all those days with no food and no harm yeah they needed a flush would have tasted like shit for sure. If u grow with low or minimum ppm ferts/food a flush is not needed cuz the plants use the food as they r getting it no matter.the medium. Slow dry and cure time is where most go.wrong.

In hydro my flush is 300-400 ppm
In soil 2 tablespoons molaasas per gallon
All to chop.

In nature they don't have chemical ferts to keep the plant nice and healthy..... if your only doing organics... like someone already posted on this thread... then flushing isn't required..... but again someone else posted they don't notice any difference..... some people flush 16 times... I'm doing it once....

Organic nutes have salts and the idea behind flushing is to exspell all the left over nutes and salts. Nutes r nutes synthesized or organic an obundance of nitrate or phosphorus is still the same thing.

Bump I don't see the need to flush when the soil has all type of chemical's leached in from auto emissions, pollution, landfills, and a million other things like your boy pissing in the yard , if it doesn't make it straight to it it will un a bio cycle like it will evaporation and will be included in the precipatation next rain

Antman seems to have things very mixed up lol.. Yes there is most definatly a difference between well flushed and non flushed buds. The taste, smell and the spark factor are all very obvious. Im not sure if the op is growing in soil or what. I grow hydro and aero and I use floral kleen in my grows. I use fresh ph water at ph 5.0 and change it every 3 days with a flush being between 7-10 days...In soil its a bit more your gonna heavy water for last 10 -14 days . T0 antman..yes the plant should yellow and change green this is what you want during flower end. If your plant is real green at harvest your doing things wrong lol. You cut the nitrogen way back during flower which is what keeps the plant green and growing leaves which you do not want in flower. You up the potassium and phosphorus which helps roots mass which allows carb uptake which increase bud site yield. The leaves should be yellowing off by harvest. The flush does just what you said you didnt want it to do but you really do. The plant uses the last of its stored nutrients in the leaves and yes eats its own food supply which is replaced with just water leeching out any ferts. this will make it tatse and smell so much better and when cured right you dont get any pop or sparkling when smoked which is fertilizer being burned.
