flushing

i am about to flush my plants for harvest..... how many days after does it take to see change????

their shouldnt be any change flushing is to just get out all the built up nutes so ur weed dont taste like shit come harvest time their is no visuale effect

Flush MAY shorten the rippening time by a day or two, but you are not doing to to see a change. Some people will point out that some of the fan leafs will yellow slightly if you do a long flush as the plant is using the nitrogen. Flush for flavor. Some people do not flush at all.


Best of luck.

i like to flush for a week since its for personal use it makes the smoke way better what do you all think? some longer some less what is best?

right now my fan leaves are turning purple..... the buds r pretty big and have maybe 2 more weeks max, will another growth spurt of budhappen???

Flush 10-14days, use straight water, your plants should yellow. Theirs two ideas, one is rid as much chlorophyll as ya can, and second is to eliminate as much salt in the soil, causing your plants to consume what nutt's they have had on reserve-such as chlorophyll. by doing both will make sure your stuff is gonna burn nice and taste good. Make sure you take your time drying

thanks stiffy i will flush longer with half them baby's so i can compair

they r in 3 gal pots...... flush 9 gal of water through them every watering till harvest???

flsush with 9 gallons 2 weeks before harvest, then go back to regular watering only use plain water after the flush

Yep. You just want about two weeks to pass between nutrients and harvesting. It's probably a good idea to harvest the buds while the soil is relatively dry to reduce the drying time.

Otherwise, if you are sure your plants are ready, just water, harvest, cure and enjoy.

can someone tell me what happens in the last 2 weeks??? are the buds going to growth spurt again?

I use 20ML of sunlight soup at the beginning of flushing to help to salts and soil- than straight-ph-adjusted water from their on.
Its really depends on how much plants ya got man. Think about it for a sec, are u going to flush 3x the planter volume with water on multiple plants? I have two flower rooms. Each with 32plants (2x1000 and 2 600) in each room. Even tho each room flowers at different times-I am not going to flush 3x the volume on 32 plants. It would take forever.
I am not bashing the idea but I know enough peeps that are involved with larger shows and they use simple, old school style that works great!! If u have a few plants in the closet-maybe try flushing 9 gallons in one. Anyways, just trying to light'n ya up about the misconception on flushing!!
Again MCpurple, not trying to say your info is shit- I do it this way, and it works also well. Good luck 2 the both of ya

na.just give them water,once you see the hairs starting to chang color.

Hey,
In the last two weeks your buds are going to gain a large percent of their weight. Be patent and do not cut early! U work so hard to get to this point-dont cut yourself short and let your plants finish!
About your buds sprouting, in BC, their is a term coined 'popcorning' or 'warting'. U will see this in the last two weeks; its a sign of being in the last two weeks. Not every strain exhibits this pheno type but most do-even if its very little. No worries-its a good thing!
I have noticed if you have flowerd out an outdoor strain indoors, U will usually get little of this behaviour. But I have had an adverse affect and it made the bud go very paintbrushy.
U could use overdrive in this situation-we have contacted the wholesaler and their info was that you can use the product until the last watering. Again, that is your choice. If I were to use the product 'Overdrive' (works good jsut buy it's self) make sure ya flush 7 days before harverst to be on the safe side. Good Luck
