    Default Should I flush everyday for 7 days or one watering and chop after 7 days?

    Been wondering this for a minute. When I see or read flush for 7-14 days i get kinda confuse.. Does that Means Run ph'd water thru my plants everyday for seven days? Or water as needed for 7 days? Im trying to flush a 9 week strain staring on day56.

    If you flush too much then you will just starve the roots of oxygen, no different to overwatering, so by flush for 14 days i've always just taken that to mean for those 14 days it's plain water.

    However having experiential myself i came to my own conclusion of flushing being an aboslute waste of time and made absolutely no different to any of the characteristics of my weed. If you have multiple plants then i'd suggest it's always a good idea to do a comparisson for your own experience

    Yea I feel u but what about taste? Taste is a big factor to me.. I got some nice OG strains that look real food and I spent a pretty penny buying seeds. I have RP og18, holy grail Kush, 91 chemdawg, and og18 x skunk#1. These strains are pretty tasty so I wanna make sure my smoke is clean, not chemical tasting and taste good. How do I ensure that if I don't flush for at least a week?

    In regards of your watering confusion, that would simply kill your roots, you must water like normal, just dont feed it nutes.

    also, just give a good flush ( between 2 - 3 times the normal amount of water you give your plants ) if you normally give your plant 1 gal to drain off, obviously 2-3 gallons of ph water to flush off, then just let it dry and feed it normal water till harvest..
    *note* many growers have done side by sides and have stated that there is no difference in taste, smell, or appearance, and their or many who say otherwise. once again, just something you have to try fo yourself

    consider 2 factors
    -soil
    -soiless mix / hydroponic

    soil with the longest i have heard 7-14 days
    soiless and hydroponic i guess would be pretty similar at 1-5 days

    it really depends on the grower..

    With that being said, i completely agree with tip top that there are countless growers that do not flush, (especially organic growers), so like he said as long as you have 2 plants or more experiement with it.

    I have learned that no matter how much research that you do and how much you stay on these fourms, the quickest and best way to get your answers is to experiement with your plants, at the beginning you want to baby them, and scared to mess them up, as you get more of them, you want to see how much they can handle and your willing to take those chances.. Its just the way the human mind works once we get comfortable with something we want to explore its maximum pontential.

    Good Luck

    Cannot comment on taste, all cannabis tastes like shit to me, but it tasted like the same shit as hwen i was flushng, no difference Soil, coco, hydro, flushing and no flushing and i could tell no difference. People will often talk about the weed crakling and this and that being from nute left over, this is also nonsense in my opinion, the weed burnt in the exact same manner each and every time. Your last line should not be stated as such, that means you are working under the premise that the good taste can only come from flushing. My point being that for me it made no difference, so do a comparisson, then you will be able to say for yourself whether it is flushing that helps the taste or something else

    Yea never heard of that.. If you smoking shitty tasting Cannabis I dont know what to tell you. Ive had some great tasting stuff in my three years of smoking medicinally. I guess I will flush for 2-3 days then come back with some tea and overdrive til the end. Wed will be day 56 so i will flush today and then feed on monday or tuesday watch my trichs then chop when they look right. I did do a mid way flush around week 5 so I should be good.

    well in my opinion i think he is coming from the stand point of that the inhaling of cannabis is just not a taste that he enjoys, no matter what strain it is or how it is grown, i would say he doesnt like to inhale smoke but im sure he has tried vapor and prob feels the same way, i was just wanting to hear him elaborate a little..

    but is it weird that i feel kinda sad that a fellow smoker feels that all weed taste like shit? lol
    kinda reminds me of a wine drinker that doesnt like the taste of wine , it makes me feel like hes missing out on something lol
