flushing halfway through what do I do

A "well known member" (or better) here is someone who has had a ton of posts. It doesn't indicate, necessarily, his or her growing experience. And it certainly doesn't indicate a person's knowledge.

I've been on this site for many years, but more importantly, I've been growing for decades. That's longer than many of you (particularly the newbies) have been alive and aware of the wonders of herbs.

When someone asks a question and someone else takes the time to answer -- particularly when a person gives a thorough answer with explanations -- it's not very neighborly to be less than appreciative. Whether you follow the advice of those with knowledge and experience is totally up to you, of course. It's your grow.

Just a side note: "Leaching" is technically correct, but the term sort of fell out of common use a few years ago, perhaps because "flushing" more aptly describes the process. I think I mentioned earlier that I (personally) tend to refer to the process as "dissolving and flushing", using a 2-step process to dissolve then flush out the residuals. It sounds to me like the OP has drowned his plant at this point, though. I guess the extra water won't necessarily hurt anything at this point so long as he allows it to dry and then feeds, as we've advised, with a mild bloom solution.

Good luck.

Some ppl have strange methods of flushing lol ...
Do this get straight water if u cant get a hose on it even better flush with a hose or tap for 15 minz no nuts
Then wait about 20 minz and feed the plant a half strength mixture of nuts then wait till entire pot drys out 4 to 5 days then resume normal feeding

If u wanna know how to flush goto youtube and watch grrenhouse seed co grows aka strainhunter the king of cannabis knows his shit

He rocks hes the founder and u show me one commercial grower who has won as many awards alot of the strains we grow he helped develope

The Green House Seed Company is the most successful cannabis business in the world.

Winner of many international awards (39 High times Cannabis Cups, 17 Highlife Cups, and many more private awards in many countries), it is leader in cannabis genetics.

Arjan, owner and founder, has been acclaimed The King of Cannabis for his amazing record of cannabis prizes won throughout his career. He has always been committed to create the best genetics in the world, and to ensure that the growers choose the best genetics, based upon their location, logistics and personal knowledge.


It would suck to be in the usa as they do not sell seed in or to the usa

I really don't know about australia,I beleived the same thing as you when I first started, after i wasted a few months growing out arjans crap, I came across good clones, I have traded my way to some top strains, If you can get TGAgenetics, I have been very successful with some of their strains from seed, vortex,JTR,plushberry.

flush, don;t feed.
after a week +/- you'll know what your plant wants (regarding you've paid attention to the change over this time)

yep, that's them. all of his descriptions are right on, you have to find the ONE out of the ones you buy because they don't sell feminized seeds, I have a vortex that people call 5 hr energy, they end up cleaning their houses and stuff because it makes your heart race.
these are also a good choice

Simple flush:

1.) Ph a few buckets of water to 6.8 (water that has been sitting out and aerated for a few days, my tap water might kill a bitch).
2.) Water until it begins to drain out of the bottom of your pot (for me 2 gallons of water)
3.) Add at least as much as you already did (for me 2 gallons) or until the runoff is noticeably clearer.
4.) Mark that as a watering on your calendar and put her back on her normal schedule of feeding after the soil dries out.

In a perfect world you would use a utility sink or you would have a drain in the middle of your floor. In my imperfect world I sit there with a 16 gallon shop vac.

Basically, you are watering twice as much as you normally would, minimum. Like Gramaw said, you are dissolving the nutrient buildup and flushing it out. Adjust whatever caused the lockout (PH?) if a lockout is what happened. For now though, probably let them dry out for a little while.
