flushing question...

[autoflowa]

ok i was reading some posts about this and was just curious.... WOULDNT THE PLANT DROWN? lol im a noob please dont be too brutal

is flushing when u add 3 times the ammount of water ur container holds .. for example i have 6 inch pot i dunno it holds maybe a gallon but if i flush it with 3 gallons of water at once wouldnt the plant drown????

flushing just means u water the FUCK outa the soil...i usually use distilled water when i flush and i just keep pouring until i see alot of water come out the bottom...i do this weekly. and no u wont drown the plant just make sure that u havent watered ina few days...u dont want to water and then decide to flush..give urself a good 2-3 days and then flush the shit outa the soil

it wont drown as long as you have drain holes in the bottom. like the guy above me said, i like to flush regularily. if you dont flush you can get all kinds of nutrient lock up.
and like the other dude says too, just wait till its dry, just flush at a time when you would regularily water.

i thought flushing was when u just water like u would normally water em, but water only, no nutes.

or there is flushing stuff u can use to clear out the roots, that works faster, but i have never used.

nope. flushing is important run alot of water though the plants no nutes let dry for at least 3 days before you water or feed them again

Feed, water, water, feed, water, water, feed, water, water. Feed and water until a good bit of water drains from the bottom of the pot, follow this schedule and you should be good too go.

you cant drown a plant bacuase all it would do is soak up the water eventually but when you flush it make sure water comes out the bottom

i forgot to add that you should flush it 2 weeks before the plants done and wait till the dirts real dry before you cut it down

i forgot again but dont feed the plant when your flushing it bacuase when you flush it your forcing the plant to use its own nutrients that its saved up and this will make the bud better to
