how long does an average plant stretch take? would you recommend flushing during the flowering stage.

thanks

Stretch is generally 1-3 weeks depending on a few factors. Do you need to flush? Why?

I was just wondering , if you are suppose to flush the plants during flowering, because in the veggie stage I flush my plants every other week of salt.

Do flowering nutes have salt?

no fertilizer has "salt". They do all have "salts" which is just referring to the nutrients themselves. When the water is used up/evaporated from the soil some of the nutes are still left. These are the "salts". You are just wasting fertilizer by flushing if you are actually "flushing". All you need to is give them a little pure water once in a while and the leftover nutes will be used.

most people that "flush" only do it in the last week or two of flower.

IMO growin in soil i like to flush week before i enter flowering stage kinda like preventitive maintenance

)
reason being as i enter flowering i will bring my ppm up by week 6 to 1300 then flush my final week
i found in the first 2 weeks in flowering is the most crucial time thats when hormone changes occur and plant needs to be in best of form for the best possible yield
or growers get themself in a bind by nute burns and what ever else then u are chasin to repair plant an plant is trying to repair itself rather then make bud
