how are you supposed to flush soil plants in a grow tent??

[switch]

Yo, this might seem a stupid question but how can you properley flush soil pots in a tent? The water will just go everywhere and make a right mess...surely there is an easy and clean way to do this without having to remove the plants from the tent and fucking up their light cycle? The nearest I get to actually flushing mine is just watering with plain phd water and the water will sit in the saucer under the pot and be reabsorbed by the plant anyway, so not really flushing at all is it...

There is no need to flush, especially not plants grown in soil.

There is no need to flush, especially not plants grown in soil.

Actually there's 2 main reasons you would want to flush in soil.

1: If your plants are getting "burned" by too much fertilizer in the soil.
2: At the end of the plants life cycle you want to remove all traces of artificial fertilizer so your bud doesn't taste like it.

That being said, there's really no way to do it without removing it from the tent. You're kind of going to have to bite the bullet on this one unless you like water all over your tent.

dont bother to "FLUSH" just decrease nutes and give straight water a week or 2 before harvest

Put some big container under pot, in a way so the real pot doesn't touch the bottom one ( use legos or anything you have at hand lol )
Flushing is neccesary unless you want to smoke fertilizer...

I lift my pots into a dish bowl, then give a HUGE watering 1 week before chop then just clean water until chop.. Flushing is imperative, unless you want your smoke to 'snap crackle and pop'.

And....Wait for it......Here comes the anti-flushing brigade for yet another debate........

 

[thetremmer]

always water without nutes before harvest unless you want that "good shit" all up in your lungs haha that would be good for you

Easy.

Get rectangular black greenhouse trays, milk crates and a little wedge for one side to prop it up so water flows to one side.

On the lower side make holes and get a bucket to put under the holes.

please no debating about it, flip a coin, heads u flush, tails u dont. Then nxt grow do the opposite and the u decide what u want to do.

Put your plant in a bucket. Water. Remove from bucket. Pour access water from bucket. Repeat.

Like the other member said here, just use less nutes the last 2 weeks of flowering, and right at the end of the last week use just water.No need to flush as marijuana use's nutes fast!

^^^^^yea i like the sound of this one^^^^

If you cant take the plant to a sink or tub, you could use a large Rubbermaid storage bin.

That's why I love Ca, I can do it outside under the sun

If you got enough room in the tent for a 5-gallon bucket you can flush fine. I took a rack from my oven and used it as a screen
on top of the bucket. Flush your plant and the water runs into the bucket. Pretty simple.

Thats a pretty good idea steve, il probs try that. Gona be a nightmare trying to do it with my adjustawing above me lol, there aint much room to play with!

 

[bombasticson]

Don't listen to idiot who said no need to flush in soil..Only reason you would need to flush is if you dont use nutrients, you need to flush them out. I flush my soil plant with xnutrients flushing solution.. You should look into it

 

[charface]

I would just water with no nutes and don't over water at that as the plant does not use much water at the end of its life cycle.

Try drying properly might be a good start to stop the snap crackle and pop )

Water normally with water for last two weeks. You should always have a bit of run off unless just the top of soil is dry, then you only give them the amount they need.
I use the flushing solution at 2xstrenght. Its pretty weak imo. use it once during the last week. Most manufactures are doubling strenght.
I grow in a soilless mix so the salts are easy to flush out.
