never heard of a hell mary flush, but i do believe your suppose to flush you plants the last few weeks with just water to get all the chemicals that the nutes have. Helps make it for a better smoke

the hell mary flush is used when u accidenally over fertalized or some such and it basicly just washes the soil clean so u can put proper nutrients in

If you dont want your plants to taste really harsh and be crackly, def flush. If you have waited too long into the budding phase there are products to help flush more rapidly. An experienced smoker could most likely tell if you decided to not flush your plants at all. Personally it gives me a headache even thinkin about smokin buds that have not been flushed.

flushing b4 harvest is dun for the last week or 2 of the plants life and is accomplished by just giving it plain water (no nutrients)

hell mary flush is dun by watering the pot or system with plain water until u have a substantial amount of runoff

lots and lots of water i would guess:grin:
speaking of lots and lots of water im gonna mix my nuts in gallon increments if i have left over water (cuz im only gonna have about 6 plants) is it ok to leave the water and nuts mixed for the next 3 or 4 days till i water again?

should i just dump it out?

or pick up a mathbook and figure out how to downsize my measurements...(i suck at math)
