yup...there are flushing solutions, but many people do it w/ straight water...thank you guys...im gonna try flushing less, it def can't hurt too much to skip the last feeding...
yup pure water is flushing thats why i cheat with the molasses as well lol they say its actually 1-0-5 but its non chemical
I grow in soil..I was wandering if I really have to flush? I do use nutes..so I always do..but do I really need to?I don't wanna risk root rot..if I don't wat will the result be?
thanks for all the input...i ask this because ive heard the bud wont burn right if i dont flush..ive got a week til harvest ..so i missed the flush peroid..got 6 plants goin..and messed up some dates..just wanted to know if the bud wud still be smokeable..![]()
so its healthy to not flush non organic chemicals and smoke it ..........ok then Mr
...In principle you should never have to flush in soil cultivation. It leads to all sorts of complications like waterlogged soil, nutrient run-off, fungus, etc....
Flushing your soil prior to harvest does NOT improve aroma and taste of the buds. It DOES increase chances of getting bud mold within 48 hours and can easily lead to other fungal infections which threaten your crop. The smart way to increase aroma is to buy quality soil and mix it with beneficial aroma enhancers such as worm manure and compost. Rinsing substrates should only be applied to hydroponic cultivations. The idea is to water with a very low EC, special ripening products, or only pure water a few days or a week prior to harvest - again, there should be no need to flush large amounts of water through the system. In coco coir this can also lead to a soggy substrate and increase the risk of bud mold.

There are about 8,000 more forums/articles/threads that recommend flushing for soil...
lol, old guy fertilizer complex, he uses shit for his grows and finds "subtle differences in taste". My dad's cows eat alfalfa and his neighbor feeds his field hay, there's your subtle difference buddy
I'm doing DWC and I think I'm going to flush using FloraBlend Vegan instead of using just plain water. I figure its better than starving them for 2 weeks.
I don't flush my organic soil grows. I just water without nutes for the last 1+ week before harvest.
Same here, just switched to organic over the last 5-6 months and love it.I don't flush my organic soil grows. I just water without nutes for the last 1+ week before harvest.
