would like to clear this up - are they the same ? flushing just involves more water than leaching?
leaching vs flushing - what's the diff?

you leach the soil and you flush the plants. its really semantics. some people refer to both as flushing. comprende'?

thanks for the reply j - thats sorta what i was figuring but i just see people referring to what i think is leaching as flushing. even my grow calendar calls for a last week of 'flush'. i figured this meant water with the usual amount just sans nutes but now that i've been introduced to the term "leach" im not so sure.

Flushing is used to mean "Don't feed" these days but that's not it's real meaning.

The words mean different things to me, flushing refers to getting rid off, leaching means leaking from.
When we say I flushed my plants we know you ran lots of water through it. If you said you were leaching your plants I would think small, small run off almost like the pot was leaking.
