flushing

i am ready to start flushing should i just use water or decrease the nutes i use slowly i have heard conflicting stories about this but i know you guys will have the answer cos you always do thanks

I didn't use any nutes in my grow but i heard you just use pure water but i could be wrong buddy wait for another person to post before you go start pouring pure water in there. Best of luck.

Use distilled water,cut nutes. Why use nutes if you're going to harvest? A little redundant.KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

There are other agents you can get that assist in the removal of nutrients from the plant as well.
FloraKleen by General Hydroponics
Final Phase and Drip Clean are just a few
They cost less money than nutes and you only need use them the last few days before chopping

They break the bond between the plant and nutes.
The nutes can build up in your reservoir tho so watch the PPM and if it gets to high empty and refill.
Plain water works very well too, just this stuff gets chemicals out faster.
I use Flora Kleen for 3 days then plain Distilled water till I'm ready to cut em down

all you guys are mint ive been smokin for 30 years or more but am new to growing and you people on this sit have just been full of the right info keep it up people you do a real good job thanks a bundle

Of course, flushing at all is optional. It never entered my mind until I came to RIU in March. Never have done it in 40+ years of messin' w/growing this magical plant. Don't know that I ever will?

I would flush get the good taste it makes the difference, big time, i've had home grown without flush vs flushed of same strain and you could tell big time!

I'm such a skimpy feeder, and thorough water-er that I'm probably flushing mine most of the time they're growing anyway.
