Flushing question?

When flushing the final week or two weeks during flower in soil, should i be dumping the water that collects in the tray? this would make sense because otherwise the plant would just be reusing the salts, etc. that i just flushed out, correct?

only use fresh water to flush your plants....and 2 to 3 times the water to the amount of soil being flushed.

​lol fec off, no flush at all and if you have water with nutes in left in the tray,then just re stock and adjust the ec and ph............ but if you want you can flush and poor your nutes away if it makes you feel better. i don't do this but you can lol........ ;-)

I put my plants near a drain in my basement and just let the excess water flood into the drain

next time you do this pop some money in the water and see how it makes you feel when you see it going down a drain..... wow are all you lot mega rich ?

No....... A. I use my nutrients efficiently enough ( by producing volume and quality) that I can afford to lose a week's worth at the end. B. I'm not rich but recognize that it's an expensive hobby to have and it's worth it to use full strength nutrients every time rather than salted up water

Flushing removes excess salts and fertilizer from the soil which removes salts and fertilizers (which ruin the taste and burning consistency of your buds) through osmosis from the plant. Try smoking a joint of your un-flushed and once you get done relighting it sixty times you'll see what I mean.

Actually somewhat in the middle. I live in-between Detroit and Lansing in Livingston County. Mitten dweller yourself?

Oh right on I'm over on the east side in kent county. What strains do you grow?
I am actually starting my first grow with 5 seedlings of Cheesequake and 5 seedlings of Deep Purple. I used to work for a caregiver and wanted to do this whole thing on my own. I have grown TGA's Vortex, Ace of Spades, Agent Orange, Chernobyl, Third Dimension, and The void; Cali Connection's Tahoe Og, Ogiesel, Larry OG, and Chem Valley Kush; G-13 labs Pineapple Express; and Connoisseur Genetic's Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze. Got a bit of experience and can't wait to punch out my own stuff.
