So much info out there that says flushing is pointless. Insignificant change to the amount of nutrients in your plant. May even lead to deficiency when your plant needs it most.

But, many people have very successful grows when they flush. Typically it's done 1 week before harvest

Sweet!! So I can just keep giving her the same watering/feed pland all the way to the end of harvest?
What about the boosterd and adatives shr has been receiving for the past 6weeks?? Eg: green fuse bloom and pkb?
I thought it was good to flush non organic feed before harvest?
I think I will just stick to my feed plan of water water feed untill the last few days when they eill sit in darkness for 1/2 day and alow them to dry out a little before the chop

I flush around 4 to 6 days before harvest 1 time with fox farms sledge hammer and do just plain water untill harvest. I also do a 24 hour dark period before harvest

the stuff in your nutes that your plant absorbs are mostly non mobile once absorbed. that means you can pour the whole fucking ocean on that plant, and the stuff you're trying to get rid of will still be there. so all you've done is starve your plant for the last week or two of its life, when it could have been packing on weight and trichs. i've experimented myself, grown plants i've flushed and plants i didn't. ash was the same color, tasted the same, burned the same.....the only difference was the plants i didn't flush looked a little healthier, weighed just a little more....

your plants look great my friend, judging from th look of those fresh white pistils still be thrown up, i'd wait at least another 15 days
and don't flush a thing.
and a wise old dirty hippy once told me
"if you think they are done? Wait another week"

I always link it and I'll link it again.

@RM3 nails it on the head in that thread everyone needs to give it a good read and understand the material being presented. It's not his opinion and it's not a personal study, it's real details and information that show us the fallacy of flushing.

FLUSHING IS A MYTH. Nature doesn't flush it's plants and all anyone is doing is ridding their plants of essential nutrients they need during an important stage of their life just before harvest.

Anyone can claim they can "taste" the difference but there are also growers on this site who have the best bud that oddly enough isn't commercially available so you know it's all personal bias and anecdytiol evidence at best.

what are you feeding them ? organic or chemical . guys and ladies if you dont flush them if your using a (chemical fertilizer) like me might as well throw it away . it will have a serious dark black ash clogging every thing up strong lung burning nasty tasting popping noise wile being smoked . trash . organic nutrients dont need to be flushed that why your dropping major cash on it . after is smoked it should be a grey ash and it should fall apart . not a lot of people do not use a chemical nutrient so if you dont have experience please no comments telling me i am full of shit . and start flush about week 7.5 fresh water for 5 to 7 days is plenty they can survive 2 or so weeks plain water by the way in late flower depending how hard your pushing nutrients . ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... my posts are suggesting about a cherry tomato that you smoke . lmao

Wow.
So lemme get this straight:

Ipower bulbs are better than eye horti.
Run co2 at 2000+ ppm.
Dry your buds at 40% humidity.
Flush your buds for that white ash.
What else did i miss?

First off is "why"?
Second is "why spend money on something that doesn't work"? For what you think it does....WAIT it DOES "flush" money from wallets!
Third is why "darkness"?
