Going to assume when doing this, you should move your plant somewhere so the water has a place to drain to?

1 time. You are flushed. You rinsed out all the nutes and now they are yellowing.

How old are your plants? Why are you flushing them? I rinse out my nutes before flowering and before harvest.

Ok, you are done flushing. Just water until you chop. Hang for 5 to 7 days and then jar. Thats the ticket.

y do you flush before flowering? becouse of salt build up?
no this is first time flushing but i might start flushing befor 12 - 12 just to clean out any build up. when you have 12 plants its a lot of work 3 gall pots 15 gall water to flush.

Flushing is a myth started years ago by the Dutch who tend to abuse their plant foods, and came up with this unscientific
"feel-good" solution to give them absolution from their former evil ways of misguided plant culture.

A plant is not a radiator, you don't "rinse anything."

Taste is subjective.....people see what they want or wish to see.

You keep the leaves green and healthy right up to harvest for best plant health and production. Yes, depriving a plant of N is surely gonna result in yellowing leaves, if that's what you're after.

Try it both ways and draw your own conclusions.

Good luck,

how long dose the colurayfill( cant spell that ) to leave the plant?
Why are you concerned with eliminating chlorophyll, a simple leaf pigment found in extremely small amounts? FWIW, chlorophyll is destroyed when you cure. Other pigments (anthrocynanins) remain.
