How important is it to flush your plants when switching to flower light cycle and flower nutes? I just transplanted and was wondering how important it is, being that there is now fresh non-nutted soil in my pots? I'm growing organic with seabird(vegg) and bat(flower) guano with seaweed extract and Vermicrop bio-stimulizer. Vermicrop Organics

Any thoughts?

I'm also using this new soil amendment called vermiblend and don't want to flush out all of its goodness. Vermicrop Organics

Thanks in advance

It would all depend on how long you vegged your plants and have been using nutes for.... I only vegged for a week and only used nutes once would be pointless for me.. but if say you vegged for 4-5wks I'd recomend some people do it more often..

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll be okay without flushing, I'm starting the flowering nutes tomorrow.

have never done it. it is a good idea to taper into flower nutes as well. take about 2 or 3 weeks before giving all flowering nutes. in that stage there is a lot of verticle growth and there is still a decent N need

Thats correct, i'm finishing up week two of flower and will be starting the flower nutes now, last crop they ran out of nitrogen fast because when i switched the lights i switched the nutes the same day.

Good rule of thumb is to stop vegg nutes when most nodes areas have shown sex and started flowers.
