About to flush

hi friends, I will be flushing my ladies from today, I have a 600 light and a 250, can I turn off the 600 to save electricity or do I need both still on also how many days do you guys flush for, I am using soil as the medium.

You have to flush for 2 weeks to get the chlorophyll out of the plants.

Not true....this is not even the intended point of flushing. However, the only thing I'm flushing is my toilet, but I'm trying to give the girls just what they need, instead of blasting them with nutes. Also, imo, keep the 600 until the end.

Cheers I think i will flush in the bath, and watch the water turn from brown to crystal clear then repeat the process.

don't forget to wipe first

Sure you can turn the 600 off. You can also chop your plants right now if you want. I wouldn't suggest it though.

The point of flushing is to force the plant to use nutrients from the leaves rather than chemical nutes. It will help the plant taste better... You do it too early and you will run out of fan leaves and be forced to harvest early. Or if you flush too late you will get a harsh tasting smoke that will not burn as well. I would recommend flushing about 2 waterings before harvesting. Give them a really good flushing when you do though and make sure to let them dry out as you normally would.

I just done a crazy flush on them, 200L of water per plant from brown to crystal clear, now I will just leave them under the 600 for some days on 12/12 and then flush them that way normally 5L of water per plant.
