To flush or not to flush

[Nomodispo]

I'm growing in 5 gallon containers of cocoa I'm about to harvest in a couple days my last two waterings were just distilled water and an attempt to cleanse a little bit they are very dry right now should I water one more time before harvest?

It never hurts to water your plants if they are thirsty.

Do you have any pictures of them? Based on how new growers plants usually look when they think they are ready I would bet you have several more weeks before they are done.

Flushing

So I am growing in 5 gallon containers of cocoa and I flushed each container with a gallon and a half of distilled water twice over a week. Will that suffice

My personal opinion on flushing. .. be it soil, coco, DWC, whatever. . .. As it pertains to final harvest, is really just peace-of-mind & possibly etiquette based; it's like washing your hands after you pee.

It also accelerates coloration/"fade", which can simply be due to just starving the plant.

I have personally noticed no difference in my own flushed vs unflushed harvests, but I have no empirical data to back that, just my opinion and observation

What is your drying situation? If it's dry climate I like to water before harvest to slow down the drying process. If you live in a humid area I might do the opposite and let them dry in the pot for a day before chop.

Judging by all the pics posted. Absolutely

At least you're not going to get the "2 more weeks" comment.

Those look very nice and chunky! What is the strain?

Really?

 

[J. Rocket]

whats the goal?
what are you trying to cleanse, the growing medium?
do that after harvest.
water/feed normally right up to harvest.
stressing/starving the plant isnt good karma.

What is up with the net?
Seems a waste of room with plant spacing as well
Flushing is just to correct problems it has no effect on taste
My two cents
