    Default Flushing

    How do you know when it's time to start flushing? Is it based on how long the seed company says the bud takes? If I want to harvest with all cloudy trichs, start flushing when I begin seeing them?

    i do mine for 5-7 days before chop and the smoke is just fine but i dont hammer them with nutrients as much

    what nutes do you use? you can usually track down a site with info on dosage, flushing etc

    That's what I'm asking..how can you tell when there's a week or two left? How do you know when to begin the flush?

    exactly what this person said. at least that seems to be the most generally accepted way. lot of people have their own special way. if like you said you want all cloudy trich, then i would start flushing when about 80% are cloudy. then in about 2 weeks it should be pretty close to mostly cloudy, maybe a bit amber.

    also i find a decent digital camera to be better than a scope. doesnt have to be that expensive of one, i think mines like 8 megapixels 3x zoom. put it in whatever mode is used for close up pics. mine has a flower setting. keep everything as steady as possible and use the flash. put the pic on your computer and you can really see all over good. i take many pics myself and check them all out zooming in all over the buds on all the pics. just a bit easier to manage than a scope. seems to cover more area also.

    you will run into some ppl that dont flush but i personally like to. i also vape a lot and it seems like i can taste chemical a bit if it wasnt flushed properly. some ppl say it could be because the feeding was too strong at some point but i've even tasted chemical in stuff that was fed real light and not flushed. smoking i dont so much notice though.

    It all depends......You can go by the seed companies estimated date as long as you have had nice growth through the flowering stage. but if the plant has become stressed or could use more food or maybe doesn't have great light can go a week to 3 weeks longer in my experience. The best way is to take out a scope....atleast 40x for me. Make sure to flush at around %80 milky trihs or sooner. I personally do at about %80 because I do a short flush about five days.....but basically beer316 is totally right

    I wouldn't worry about flushing. But when you see you are a week or a bit less away from picking, just use water, no nutes
