got around 20 days left before harvest, which amounts to about 5 more waterings.

id rather just keep them on full strength high P-K nutes for the last waterings, and not bother flushing. After quantity over quality in this case.

would it be a huge problem?.

No it shouldn't hurt anything (IMO) but could possibly leave a metallic taste in ones mouth and/or have a sharp bite on the inhale.
I've never flushed my grows, but am a light feeder and stop nutes about a month prior to harvesting.

umm if you are heavy on the nutes your pot will taste like shit and if you are not using organic nutes you could possibly be inhaling damaging chemicals into your lungs...but if you are not worried about that...don't worry about flushing

If your using full strength nutrients, you should flush.
took alot of time to get them this far.
it's only a week.

Nothing will happen, a lot of people will say it will be harsher smoking but I don't think it makes a difference.

Plants use nutes like we use food. Can you tell a difference when you eat a cow that is all beefed up on steroids compared to a cow that is grass fed in a field without chemicals ? I doubt it.

anyone that says flushing doesn't make a difference hasn't been growing or smoking long enough to give quality advise. If your not smoking it and don't believe in karma, feed it up till you pull, but there is no doubt that it will not taste as good, probably burn black and hot and harsh and everyone will say your herbs pretty shit!

If you use nutes all the way up until harvest, it aint gonna make a difference than if you cut nutes off at the last 2 weeks before harvest. If you dont wanna flush, just stop feeding them nutes 2 weeks before you chop, and each time you water, feed it an extra half to full gallon of water. It wont drown the plants, and technically youll be flushing out your plants in a quazi-lazy typa way. It wont flush ALL the nutes out of the root system, but it will definitely get the bulk of them, and make your buds taste 10000 times better, and burn better too. Just treat it like every other watering that you would do, except no nutes, and use almost twice the water that you normally use. Itll get the job done man. If your that concerned with feeding up until the very end because of yield, buy a product like Humboldt County's Own Gravity. You feed it to your plants once 3 weeks before harvest, and once again 2 weeks before harvest. Itll encourage your nuggets to get about as far as theyre gonna get. Im tellin ya man, cutting those nutes off 2 weeks before flush is gonna make ALL the difference in quality, but NO difference in quantity at all man. Gravity is your answer if your that worried, im tellin ya.


* n in europe, they dont feed their cows the same steroids and everything that they feed cows in the US. I ordered a steak while me n the wife were in amsterdam, and it was the nastiest shit ive ever eaten in my life. The fries were top quality though. It was the same deal in Paris. You had to go somewhere special to get a good cut of steak that actually tasted like beef, and not rotting asshole, lol.

if you load with nutes and dont flush it will taste like what ever remians in the plant structure. let it use up these nutes and your fruits will smell better and taste better

Just flush the fuckers and quit worrying about it. DO it, DO it, DO it, DO it, Do it.
I bought clearex flushing solution, I feed up untill the last 2 scheduled waterings then use clearex the second to last watering, then just a good heavy dose of plain water for the final meal before walking the green mile.

feed feed water every thrid watering you must flush, how would you lke it if you got steak everyday but everyday it got a bit saltier, imagine that steak in 3 weeks how fucking salty it would b you wouldnt want to eat it, well thats what happens to the plant it cant eat the food its too fucking salty thus no good growth, theymight not die but its shit its barely burns the ash is dark not white, fucking gross. feed feed flush

Nothing worse than a bud full of nutes that will not burn, and if you do torch it it pops and sputters and burns black and nasty tasting. I would rather smoke shwag than nuted bud.

Yeah, my first grow I flushed for two weeks before harvest but apparently I didn't do a good job of it so I could taste the chemicals in the weed. I'd hate to know what would have happened if I had fed full nutes up to harvest.
