There should be no need to flush plants, you can read a lot of opinions but its more something made up by weed growers not farmers and if you simply dont overfertilize there should be no need to try and wash nutrients from the medium.

Some swear it cures harsh buds, the real trick is to grow primo not harsh and wtf if you get harsh buds a lot was wrong not just lack of a flush.

Years ago a flush was designated as three times the pot size of water poured through the medium, just incase you have the need but there are also flush additives as not everything dissolves into solution i guess :-)

No flushing then.
Last time i had fire with a gas smell.
But my first grow smelled like hay.
I understand now that it was because i dried it too fast and has nothing to do with nutes still being available.

If i dont flush i take it my plant will not fade out?

And do you use any boosters?

Got myself a humidifier as it is at 35% alot of the times
Gonna check out how to maintain it 50% as i dont have a controller yet

i am not in favor of flushing....no one in their right mind is in favor of flushing....it just doesn't do what people think it does.
plants consume ions of nutrients, and most of those are permanently PERMANENTLY made a part of the plant. some of them can move within the plant, but no fucking force of nature will ever make that plant shit any of those ions back out....ever. if you completely starve a plant, how can it finish? it needs energy for those chemical and biological processes to occur. i do cut back, right when they finish their swell. that's usually two to three weeks before they're actually going to be done. for those two or three weeks i give them regular food at half strength. they don't startve, and they use up some of the food that's left in their medium.
a nice fade may be pretty....but that's all it is. it's an indicator that the plant is hungry, and a hungry plant can't function optimally

I understand that it does not make the plant shit out nutes lol.
But when you drain the soil of nutes the plant has to use whats inside of it instead of getting nutes from soil.

But what you say does make sense
Plus if kingrow1 says it ill just take his word for it lol. He seems to be right every time haha
