i start to flush on one of my plants on wed (31st dec) im now trying to get this plant, flushed, dried and cured asap.

could i do a flush 2night (Fri 2nd), then again on sun 4th? day on, day off.

not sure if this would drown her and decrease the last bit of growth before the chop.

but would this be sufficient for flushing out the chems?

i was only feeding with molasses and Canna flores with an NPK of 2-2-4. my amounts were...

half a gal of water, tea spoon of molasses and 5-10ml of nutes. this amount was going round 3 plants.

thanks for every1s feedback.
 
Hmm. You could run water through it a few times. put your plant in your bath tub on like 2 bricks (I know fuck bricks in a bath tub) ok, be creative use encyclopedias, whatever. and run water through it like 5 times, every time you do it make sure you wait so the water runs through the soil and seeps out the bottom. This way you'll get rid of all the nasty salt build-up in the soil. Leave the plant over night or two, or three, what ever your urgency and hope for the best. I had to do that once, left mine for 3 days after leeching this way, and the smoke wasn't too bad. I hope this helps. :weed:
 
thanks for ur input.

i read in the grow faq that there hasnt been any test to prove that flushing is 'worth it' so hopefully my 2 flushes with water will be ok. ill be chopping 2morro so i think i might feed now and then again later 2night or 2morro day time.

has any1 any input on that?

also, not too sure but is there a time to harvest, in their dark period or light period? is any1 better?
 
if u have loads of fert in your plant then you would know cause it would be burned,and is there proof that fert goes in bud? feed sensible, feed good food, and i say why flush unless salt build up and fert lock
 
i just checked and cant see much salt in the soil. i flush again anyway. hopefully she will be ok for harvest 2moz after another flush maybe.
 
Flushing also involves using apple juice and water mixed (there are chemical versions you can buy) to get the plant to pull all of the remaining sugars and stored goodies into the buds and your supposed to do it 1-2 weeks before chop chop. Thats what I've read I don't think that flushing repeatedly with water does very much. I think that info is in the grow FAQ'a as well under organic growing.:peace:
 
yer but idont have any expensive formula or anything. water did fine last time. it will just wash the salt out of the soil which is good enough for me :p
