andy52 said:what is the reason for flushing?is she finishing up flowering or is there a problem?if shes about ready to harvest,i would not worry about a flush.just give her straight ph'd water for the last 2 weeks.jmo
flushing to remove excess salts should be done with "pure" ph'd water.. "no" nutrients. And with at least 3 times the volume od water, as your pot/container.215zealot said:WHat about flushing during flowering or veg to clear out salt buildup?
How long should you flush with the low strengh nutrient solution? 1 or 2 days and then back to full strengh nute??

I havent done this yet, some of my plants are showing signs of nutrient lockout, im growing in COCO.
I think im going to flush it soon.
Or not. I've done taste tests and told everyone alternate stories about how the weed was flushed or not. I've never had anyone give a consistent reply to either.happiehippie said:its mainly a taste thing. some nutes weigh heavy on the "smoke" taste.....PEACE.
The Hemp Goddess said:If you are experiencing nute lockout it is generally related to the pH of your nute solution....so what is the pH of your nute solution?
There's your problem. If you look at the chart on the nutrients, it shows you that you have to use all three of the parts for each cycle of growth. If you're only using the mirco and the bloom, you're not giving it any of the "Gro" part of the formula. This is depriving your plants of much needed nutrients. Of the three parts, the "Gro" is the one it can least do without.215zealot said:the ph is always between 5.5 and 6.5, im using distilled water with GH micro and blooom LUCAS FORMULA, i add epsom salt and a little florablend and PH balance every gallon.
my medium is coco coir with hydroclay.

It's all in your head. Really.
Try it yourself. Take some weed that you've flushed as well as you think it should be to make it taste better, and also some weed that has never been flushed.
Have someone else mix them up good in 20 different batches.
Only THAT person should actually see or handle the weed.
Have that person load a one hitter in alternate series of tests over a period of days with no tests being done within the same 24 hour period.
"Is this one smooth or harsh" is the only question that needs to be answered.
Have that person record all the answers until all 20 batches of two are smoked.
When the test is over, you'll find that you can't tell one from the other.
Tried, proven, end of story.
If I told you that putting oatmeal in your baggies was good for flavor, and I said it enough, and got a bunch of other people to tell you the same thing, you'd be using oatmeal and swearing by it, even though it doesn't do a single thing.
Like flushing.
Flushing actually harms the plant. It makes it go into shock. It stops the plant from producing THC sooner than necessary.
All facts. All proven. No one listens.
Flush. Use oatmeal. Whatever.
Get high and enjoy it. That's what really counts.
I do understand. That's what I was saying...happiehippie said:once you have done it right.....you would understand......peace.
