I don't flush at all Micko... It's a real personal thing, and everyone is different. But the way I see it, if you didn't overfeed the crap outta your plant, it also doesn't need to go on a crash diet just before you chop it...

If you did, then I suppose some r.o. water for the last week or two so is fairly standard, with Clearex if your really superstitious- but the thought of all those yellow leaves makes me personally cringe... I'm jus crazy like that lol...

thanks buddy i mite do a week just incase coz my last grow was organic hydro in clay balls but the time im useing chemical stuff i see what ur saying tho and ive bin feeding them quite alot for a faster growth

and i didnt flush last time

if your using a chemical based fert, you NEED to flush for 5-14 days depending on the plant... ppl telling you otherwise are ppl who like to smoke buds that taste like a chemical burn with ash as black as the night sky

Feeding them alot might actually stunt their growth- try a comparison sometime. I use only chemical ferts and do not overfeed. I am a chef and wine conoisseur- and think I am qualified to tell- but my grows taste just fine. I will not get into an arguement over it however, because I know how opinionated people can get on the matter. The point is we all do what works for us- and that is what works for me. I would never knock what works for you because there's no right or wrong answer- just preferences...

Ironically I tried out a friend's organic grow- only orgnic soil and worm teas- and it left alot of black ash. I've never seen any scientific papers on the color of the ash, so I still wonder if it's just a wive's tale? Does anyone have any links to good reputable reading on the subject- cuz I am always up for learning new stuff.

pretty much what he said, when in doubt, you cant go wrong flushing when using a chemical based fertilizer....

Also, Homebrewer here has some great threads on comparison grows with Dyna-gro and his techniques along with very thorough and unbiased smoke reports from third parties. The threads are definiitely well conducted and written, and I suggest anyone interested read them. Search for dyna-gro vs GH as a start- he also compared it against AN conoisseur. The pics of his plants are nothing to scoff at and speak volumes about his abilities as a grower. He also does not flush, and feeds a bit less than the recommended schedule. No one would say his plants ever suffered, or finished late.

I only feed at the peak of flower around 800 ppm on the .7 scale. I suppose that helps me not need to flush as much, and is definitely a point that may make my situation a little different.
