after flushing using RO water yea or nay

You are in soil. Unless your water is really bad, there isn't a need for RO. And to flush soil you need to add a min of 3 times the water to the pot size. So that being said useing 9 gallons of RO water waste 18to27 gallons of water. Good for feeding, you know what's in it. But I think it's a waste for flush. Soil will leave trace elements anyways so I would say just use tap as is. Or if your bent on RO. Flush means adding nothing. I'm hydro but when I flush I don't even ph the water. Don't mean to be mean or start anything just saying how I see it.
Oh I just had an idea. If you want it as clean as possible. Why not flush with tap first then flush with RO? Good looking plants man

im sorry you i might not have stated my question clearly. I have already flushed the plants i use tap water for that atleast three times the amt of of the pot. My question was if i still use ro water after the flush to water the plant should i add some sensi cal to the ro water or just nothing plain ro water the reason i ask is cause tap water has some calcium and magnesium in it not large amounts but more than the zero thats in RO water. I know the plant is going to get cut down soon but will the sensi cal affect the taste if i continue to add it to my RO water. I always flush a few weeks before there ready which is 10 days atleast before then it takes about 3 to 4 days to dry up water it then a few days goes by water it again just regular like then for its final water i flush it and put it back under the lights for a few days then it goes in the dark for 72 hrs or so maybe longer depending if im lazy but if the plant is drying out in the pot then i cut it up but theres still usually enough moisture in the pot to sit in the dark for 72 hrs without getting dry to the point the buds dry out.

Just use plain RO. Even after you flushed with tap the soil still hold trace nutes. The plant will take them up. RO will help clean as much as possible. And you have about 3 or 4 waterings left so you will be fine.

your plants are ungodly fucking fat man!!! what is your secret? im amazed how you can grow plants like that but don;t know how to flush. not being a prick, but im fucking impressed. i think im missing something cuz my buds are not even half that size. damn you!!! now i have to start all over from scratch!!! please pm me some more pics so i can do nasty things to them. god those nugs are gi-normous!!!

and ps. i do the 72+hours of darkness. i see that is does add some stickyness and sweetness to the trichs. as far as flushing i just stop all nutes the last 2 weeks. i have found that whatever dif can or will come on from lack of cal/mag has not enough time to set in. plus, your leafs are yellowing (im hella colorblind, i think they are in the pics). from a lack of cal/mag the only thing the plants will do is turn a rust brown color. but if you are using a cal/mag product it very well should be stored up to get you through the last few weeks. plus man, by looking at the size of them buds, i would just use plain R/O water, no cal/mag. weather or not you need to ph it or not is based on the ph of the water as is. my R/O water is about 7.0+ out the faucet. and when i dont add nutes to my plants (which is only a few times in veg and the final 2 weeks, but just R/O water the last 2 weeks) i still use 5ml of Cal/Mag from Botanicare, and Hygrozyme 5ml. then i ph it to 6.7 or 6.8. that is my "plain water" water. i even use that for seedling but i add Roots by Humboldt at 2ml/gal. i have noticed this gets them used to nutes right away. i kinda have to worry bout salt build ups. but fuck me after seeing your pics, im going back to the drawing board. DAMN YOU!!! lol!!!

thank you ohsin i think the secret to the fat buds is how much light i use that is a good reason for the fattness of her buds i put them under a 1000 watt light and have like two or three 400 watt hps for side lightings that are mounted side ways. The more light the bigger the buds i do truly believe this plant would have gotten bigger buds if a friend of mine that grows wouldnt have come over to check them out and when he did he brought pollen into my room cause i had no hermies nothing and they got pollinated after all his plants did i think it was on his clothes and when he stepped in front of the fan you know the story i could easily count ten seeds per plant but i have read it doesnt hurt your potency. Another key to big buds is that you have to be patient enough for them to really mature and start swelling like they look like they have seeds but they really dont. The reason she is turning yellow is cause she is nearing the end of her life cycle shes at about 12 weeks from the switch by the end of the week she will go into the dark shes putting off her last bit of hairs then shes gonna be done. I will take a picture of some of the others tommarow. They are getting close to finishing and they have good sized buds also.

When flushing and if you do, some don't just use plain RO water.. I ph mine but some even don't do that. You don't want extra chemicals that the plant can take up when you're trying to rid them of the chemicals in the first place?!

Man those are fat colas!!!! I use two 1000W and cant get Colas that fat.. I think the combo of your lights and big ass pots are the reason for huge colas " bigger the roots bigger the fruits " I use R/O water and yes I flush with just straight R/O water during the 72 hour dark period. I used to worry about PH , but now I just flush with straight R/O water.
