how old are the plants? you only need to flush when the plant has something wrong with it.
Water when the soil is dry,over water can kill your plants especially Mj,believe it some dude killed his plant in the flowering stage,by over watering lol it was funny.

When you are at the end of your grow, just use water for the last two weeks of feeding. That will be your flush. No nutes. Some flush some don't. I grow autos indoors with soil and very little nutes. Sometimes I flush sometimes not. I have never noticed a difference.

The 72 hr dark period will accomplish what? Does nature turn the sun off for 3 days?

@peacefulkid1992, you flush at the end of each growth....unless u like smokin nutes. i always used to flush when i did hydro so i will flush this time too.
they look so ready. apparantly you should leave the plant in darkness for 2-3 days. resin builds up or something :s
so ive flushed twice,.....do i just chop em down now?

I flush for 2 weeks minimum at the end of my cycles. And I've heard 24 and 48 hrs darkness but never 72? Not so sure if more darkness = more resin at that point...

Slow down turbo. I can tell your anxious. Have you ever heard of or seen people flush tomato plants. I don't. Do I taste nutes. Nope.

Some people believe in a dark period. Some don't. Some use nutes. Some don't. Some pee on their plants for nutes. :wall: Most don't. Some use CFLs. Some use 1000 watters.

If you think it is done. Chop it, dry it, cure it, and smoke it. Go check out this link first.

Unless you use HEAVY nutes in your soil grow then you don't need to flush it, unless something is wrong with it. Hydro I could maybe understand but not soil.

Organic nutes are the best way to go for soil growing in my opinion. The nutes that you've used your entire life cycle aren't going to be washed away from a watering or two, that's just going to clear out the soil for the next grow in my opinion. :\

I personally go by the trics. About 30% amber. They look done though. If it were me I'd chop em. Chop when your ready.

Chop Chop.
