hey another question, do i flush the plant all at once or over the course of a day or so?

also, what are peoples ideas about trimming before or after drying?

still don't know how or why to flush? no one has a definitive provable answer as far as i can tell.

FLUSHING

How: Use 3x the amount your soil container of PURE water , Pour it through your plants soil, Of course this cannot be doitne with speed, using soil or soilless mixes.

Why: To reduce the ammount of nutrients left in the plants leaves and bud. Also removing other things like salt buildup.


Dont water your plants 24-36 hours before you harvest. Helps with drying.

Cut leaves before they dry..... easier.

okay that makes sense to me, the flushing process isn't a really fast one. but would i water at all before that 24-36 hr period of no watering before harvest?

Yes you continue regular waterings, with no nutrients. Just the last day or two, dont give her water, let her soil go dry. Then wait till the lights are about to come on and give her the chip chop.


So say you wanna let it go another 2 weeks, give its some nutrients with the next watering, and maybe even the next. Once you've got 7 days left on the plant. Give it a flush( I do it in the bathtub, 3 gallon pots take 9 gallons of water, takes about 10 minutes to get the water through.).

if stuck in a trash bag for a few days and was wet will it loose salt?????????????

alright thanks man, that makes a lot more sense now. And i've heard trimming before drying gives a better smoke. is that true?

Got science? I (like most people) require more than just second hand info. Googling for facts about flushing just leads to more forum posts and no facts yet.

yeah i agree man, it's really hard to know if what people say is legit or even reasonable. But the flushing actually makes sense. as well as the dark period before drying.

i just fertzd the girl and plan on flushing in a couple days, she's still got some time left on some of the buds.
