not going to flush before harvest, am I screwing myself?

**sampson0420** · 01-09-2010, 10:24 AM

Using fox farm trio lineup of newts in ffof soil. I have some plants where the tops are finished yet the bottom is not. How do people flush these plants for 2 weeks?

Do they flush for 2 weeks, chop the tops, then continue with straight water after that? It seems that would cause some serious deficiency.

I'm going to route of chopping tops right before my next feeding. That way it at least had 1 watering without nutes before the chop.

Anyone have issues with buds that had ff nutes fed to them 6 days prior?

I flush 9 days before harvest (harvest before lights on), taste fine, no issues.

I would say YES but not for the reasons your thinking

I would recommend flushing, but hey what do I know.

come on riddle, as an experienced grower, you can't give more detailed answer than this?

So I should flush twice then, once b4 top chop, and a 2nd time b4 bottom chop?

Flush one time, and just add molasses after that. No nutes, no reason to flush again.

Like Mygirls said. There will be no noticeable difference. Some people will say otherwise. I think you should try it both ways and see for yourself. In my very humble opinion, flushing merely serves to starve your plants.

Use molasses after the flush if not before too, and that will give them something to eat.
If you give minimal nutes you should be ok with out the flush. Feed hard and you will have unclean tasting bud.
