are you indoors or out doors? if indoors, start a 12 on 12 off and she will start budding

i am not sure what "flood the plant" means
to initiate flowering you will need 12 hrs of light and 12 hrs of dark
a timer is the best way to accomplish 12&12
you can start using flowering nutes when you switch to 12&12, or even wait a week to change your nutes
good luck, cheers

you can also give it a day of dark and then switch to 12/12 :leaf:

All the wrong info. I already know that. I wanna know if I have to flush my plants before I add flowering nutes

no you do not

you flush with reg water roughly 1+ week before harvest (to reduce chemicaly tastes from the nutes in the bud, which cuas for a harsher more coghing smoke)

i tend to taper onto flowering nutes, just so theres not a conflict with any other nutes left in the soil.

but some just go straight into it

You dont need to flush. Just switch to 12/12 after a day of darkness then begin adding flowering nutrients when you water. :leaf:

I saw some people scoffing at your question so i decided to chime in.

In some certain cicrumstances you may want to consider flushing your plants before inducing flowering. If you have salt buildup, especially in soil, you may want to consider flushing.

Also, depending on your strain and your bloom nutrients npk (specifically n) values, you may want to consider a flush to dipose of any unused nitrogen lurking in the soil. Some strains do not like excess nitrogen in the flowering period. In some cases excess nitrogen causes plants to finish abnormally or not fully mature.

Most bloom nutrients are formulated with a small amount of nitrogen, which is just enough for plants to maintain healthy green leaves for a good period of time, almost up until harvest. Nitrogen is also stored in the leaves themselves. So a case can be made for flushing your containers (specifically soil) before flowering.

If you provide information on your medium, strain, nutrients etc. i may be able to help with a more decisive answer.

If you have 2 or more clones of the same plant, you may want to consider flushing one, or half of them, and try to gauge your results. After all, you can be the best judge of what works best for YOU. Experiments lead to all major break throughs in life, so try it out and find out the answer for yourself.:bigjoint:
