Oh my God please help! I've put so much money into my first indoor grow.

Only there's no salt to wash out in organics, also depending on where you live, you might not get any rain, or very limited rain, come harvest time. I don't believe nature does an end of harvest flush.

My sources on The Joke
High Times Mag did a test study with RX Green Technologies and published a big article on Flushing at end of flower
look it up... Here's another one, https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/flushing-is-a-bad-practice-based-on-flawed-science.64789/
and another one, https://www.rollitup.org/t/the-truth-about-flushing.409622/ and one more I'm gonna stop at this one https://support.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/t/to-flush-or-not-to-flush/6432 and
will leave any further article's out there for who ever wants to have a look.

Yeah , I read that a while back. It's a good bit. What I was getting at really, is that a fresh water flush, to clear out the excess of nutrients in the root ball, cococoir, 5 gal bags are my medium, helps me maintain my ppm's , my plants look healthier, cleans up the root ball. These study's are all based mostly on flavour, does it draw well? That's all so subjective. . I'm no big advocate of flushing , one way or another, I know what works for me. Just joined this group, do all the threads get this combative? Also, Nebula HAze has a neutral stance on Flushing.

and when there are already enough nutes in the soil/plant. then it can use these. no need to waste resources.


doesn't differentiate between ammonia & nitrate, and is therefore imprecise on N, as it can be in the pot in anionic, cationic or nonionic form

Good morning KASSI how's the weather over in your part of the world??

Outside in nature the rain washes quite an amount of loosely-bound fert molecules, mostly anions like sulphate or nitrate, or humics, Cl- Na+ Ca++ out. This stuff then sinks into the groundwater or gets drained into the sea.
So, by either rain or harvest, outdoor soils will be deplete over time.

one of the basic problems is that the word 'flushing' seems to be used indiscriminately for a number of different things. like "draining".

You are correct, they are living things why starve them when they are trying their best

"Oh my God please help! I've put so much money into my first indoor grow"

Haven't we all lol...
Out of curiosity has anyone ever added up the total cost of a fully operational tent, ventilation, lighting, nutrients, ph up/down etc, truncheon, ph meter, pots, oscillating fans, heaters, dehumidifier, timers, environmental controllers, thermometer/humidity gauges etc etc.

I know most have built up over time like myself but if you had to replace your set up how much would you need?

My buddy harvested his first 2-3oz on $200. That was cfl's in veg, (4) $20 blurples in flower, and not in a tent. He had ph, ppm, timers, fan etc. We split the cost 3 ways on GH nutrients, and I gave him some breeder autos and a couple photo seeds from Herbies.
:clap: Made me so proud. He was literally misty eyed on several occasions. His first grow not to be ripped/killed/eaten etc.

He has now upgraded lights to t5's and a 600w hps. I bought his blurples, since I run them, and literally sent him the link for which to buy to begin with.

So he is in ~400 bucks without a tent or carbon filter. But he had a fully operational room for $200 before buying new lights.

I don't use much of that. I could replace my light for $150 and tent for $125. Another $150 for fan and carbon filter. Nutrients cost pennies. You can spend a bunch but it's not necessary for a small tent grow.

The issue with flushing seems to be straightforward: flushing the rootball, the medium, is a real thing; flushing the plant itself *isn’t*. That’s what all the articles and threads seem to boil down to, and it conforms to reason and experience.
