That's funny shit. I think I'll take your advice, about not flushing that is.

Everyone here knows that I do a 24 hour roots off flush in RO water. I find that each plant sucks up about .5 litres of RO water during this time. This is done in the production room. I get complaints if I don't. I also remove all the large fans before I chop. I like the plants to be nice and healthy when I chop so I feed them all the way through. I operate flood and drain tables with a mixture of hydroton and lava rock grow pellets.

What about watering up to chopping. I've heard you "should" let them dry out for a couple days. Any opinojs on that?

Only helps with the drying process if they werent watered a day or two before.
Also chop them before the HID, LED, or w/e you're using comes on and try to do it in a area just bright enough to see what you're doing.
Helps, not by much, but helps.

Could you imagine trying to flush 50 or more outdoor plants in the traditional manner? You'd need a fire truck or a massive arogation system. It would be even worse trying to drown them. However, monsoons do have a bearing on the production of mj in tropical zones where it grows naturally. Just like everyone else I gave up(years ago) on the traditional flush method and found a practice that actually works for me(by happen stance).

I was in the hills of Michoacan last fall and these Mexicans with BIG sombreros and donkeys carrying water were flushing their pot. It's true!
