you NEED to flush if you want good tasting/smelling bud. If you forget to flush, you could try water curing

the plant will also have an extra growth spurt if you flush at the right time. the water will tell the plant it needs to put all its remaining energy into creating flowers as fast as possible. After flushing for one to two weeks, i will then let the plant dry completely out and dry out somewhat before i cut it down. Resin production is increased, as resin is made to protect against drought. I let the plants dry out in a dark room 24-48 hours. The plants usable nutes will be stored in the stems at night...so this gives them time to store them there completely. If you dont do this, make sure you harvest right when the lights turn on after they have been in the dark for at least 12 hours.

theres some shit you can buy called ?? flush something or other online that flushes plants within like 3 days or something if your rushed. Dont know if it works but its worth a try if youre worried

are you planning on harvesting in the next few days? because if I were you, I would flush my plants and maybe harvest a few days late. That wouldn't be as bad as harvesting early with chemmy bud.

I read somewhere that the plants need flushed with three times the amount of water than the plant pot holds i.e 3ltr pot would get flushed with 9ltrs water but is the method to flush the plant with all this water at once or over a stretch of time.

The one you're thinking of, is for correcting a problem (usually too many nutes) and can be done at any time. The one they're talking about here - the last week or two is done to get the plants to use up all their food before harvest (better taste, better smell, smoother burning).

For the final flush, I stop using nutes and use just water the same way I do every other feeding throughout the grow, if I used 1 gallon every 4 days, I continue using 1 gallon every 4 days - I try to harvest on that 4th day, it seems to dry easier than harvesting right after my last watering.
