Small flush ?

Fancyhuh101 · Oct 31, 2023

Hi guys , its been about 8 weeks into flower with some plants. All in buffered coco and perlite . Using general hydroponics nutrition. I'm just wondering, some of my leaf tips have small bits of yellow on edges . May this be a little nutr burn ?

1) Would it be wise go maybe next water not add any nutrition at all and just ph the water incase the soil needs to be flushed a bit ?

2) also Is a final flush needed , more people have me under the impression i won't need it . Thx everyone in advance

No plain water in coco. If you have some burn, dial back the ppm a bit. Also, no need to flush them atthe end. You can taper down the feeding if you'd like to save a few pennies.

Perfect advice above, but will add that the reason you never plain water in a hydro setup is it would create a sudden drastic change in the osmotic pressure in the root zone and it will seriously damage your root health. If you have the need to wash out your substrate periodically, just use a 50% nute strength solution.

you can “flush” your substrate to reset your media and correct any imbalances that have been created (hydro only), but there’s no reason otherwise. Feed til death, reduce ppm, reduce nitrogen if you can The last couple weeks.

Leaf upcurl is typically heat/light. They dont look unhealthy at all and some slight tip burn is fine. I do recommend a flush i flush but i am a hydro grower so its just two days if reg water.

everyone grows differently but here is something a book im reading says:

"Eliminating or lowering the availability of essential nutrients slows growth at all stages, including the last weeks of flowering."

"Large amounts of calcium, one of the mobile nutrients, are required for cell division. To mature, plants must grow new cells. Without a constant supply, maturation slows. "

but despite all this information i am one of the few growers on here that flushes his bud

<3 :3 i flush for many reasons.
in rockwool me and my brother would do a 24 hour flush aka flush our rockwool the last day of flower!

im currently growing in coco and i will probably flush for like 7 days

./cry.

this is what works for me everyone grows differently

in rockwool me and my brother would flush the last 24 hours trust me if your in rockwool or dwc etc you probably dont need too flush the full 2 days. in my experience 1 day is enough to give you good clean smoke

Id your bowls dont cash out as white ash then there wasnt a flush. If your bowls cash out black ash there was no flush

bro is that a CMH light? :O i would be rocking CMH if i wasnt growing in such a small space right now

./cry have you ever tried switching out your CMH bulb with a 10k CMH in the last few weeks of flower?.

That's completely wrong.
There's zero correlation between the two.

Guys seriously stop spreading this broscience you are just regurgitating nonsense. It's been proven through science that "flushing" has nothing to do with "clean smoke" or how your bowl burns. You can't remove things from the plant once you put them in. Black burning bowls is because it wasn't dried properly, so it won't combust completely that simple.

Anyone who is truly an open-minded and experienced logical grower has done side-by-side tests and found out for themselves that "flushing" at harvest does nothing other than save a few cents on nutrients from not using them.

I agree 100% with this opinion; We cannot eliminate the nutrients brought to our dear plant in 2 weeks, so rinsing becomes just a way of saving a few cents on these fertilizers, which I believe is a big mistake knowing that during the last 2 weeks the explosion floral is at its maximum and reducing the ppm would go against this, then don't forget that during drying after a week the chlorophyll transforms into sugar, hence the importance of having feet in good health with limited senescense, to best exploit all its terpene potential with cold drying over 3 weeks

honestly everyone grows differently. i have tried flushing vs not flushing. i grow with synthetic salt based fertilizer's and i feed heavy all the way until chop. i feel that when i flush it helps me produce better smoking bud.
im sorry if i made you mad in any way shape or form.

Small flush ?
