I do not flush myself .....flushing to me is putting 60 gallons of water through a 20 gallon pot ....all that does is kill baby rhinos in Africa .....I just stop feeding later in flower and use molasses water to keep my soil happy and fed and then use just water at the very end .....normal amounts of regular water ....

that is what i am talking about not throwing hundreds of gallons of water in them. watering them normal amounts of water . you notice the extra crystals on the buds from molasses ? plain sugar works as well .

websites are just like a thread on here imo, any larry shmoe or jack can start a web site these days and put up what ever they want.. having a web site doesn't automatically make one a master grower, it makes one a web designer.. same as writing books.. people always say, well jorge cervantes says that we must flush, and he wrote the grow bible, therefore blah blah blah.. again, writing a book doesn't make anyone a master grower, just an author..
imvho, flushing doesn't do poo to help the taste of quality of the buds we smoke.. i'll never understand who dumping water through a medium such as soil does anything to remove nutrients that are what make up these buds.. nutrients aren't even stored in buds to begin with..
secondly, what other crop grown in the world flushes ?? i know what you're going to say, but we smoke cannabis and only eat vegetables.. i don't really see what difference it makes if flushing is supposed to make the end product, buds, taste better, why wouldn't farmers flush their crops? surely they'd not want their fruits and veggies to taste like nasty chemicals, no?
flushing in cannabis is something that nutrient companies thought up in order to, get this, sell the magic potion that cannabis growers are supposed to use, say for instance, final flush, which is about 90 plus percent pure water, which is again, supposed to magically remove those nasty chemicals..
end rant.. if you really want to find out the answer, take a mother plant, take some clones from her, grow out exactly the same way, magically flush aways all those nasty chemicals on one or more of the clones, harvest, dry, CURE, and smoke the plants.. do the same exact thing again with the other set of clones, only this time don't flush, harvest, dry, CURE, and again, smoke the results.. mix the buds up in a pile so you don't know what one you're smoking when or other wise you might have a placebo effect thinking that one is different when it's not.. invite a few friends over, do the same thing.. mix up a few small buds in a pile and have a smoke out.. see if any of your friends think that one or the other has a different taste, or one pop, snapple and fisses, i've never had any sort of bud that does this btw, flushed or unflushed, and compare the color of the ash, my personal fave, and see the results for yourself..

I honestly don't notice any difference in the crystal/sugar build on my plants from using molasses ...I just use it to feed my soil especially since the particular nutes I use don't have much to offer my soil itself food wise.....but I took the organic plunge on just a few this year ....can't really compare the two different styles simply because I'm new to full organic and I've been doing bottled goodies for ages.....but will see what happends I'm taste and the cure .....as far as sugar building trichs I whole heartedly don't think it's true ....not trying to disagree or be a dick but ....healthy plants in general make nice buds .....same thing with plants sucking up smells mentioned by someone above ......I don't believe that either ....for the simple fact I use cinnamon to deter ants throughout my outdoor grows and they never taste or smell like cinnamon .....just my thoughts and experience

flushing always brought up many different opinions . my opinion is what ever works best for you is the best way to go .

Wait so dude asks a valid question that more growers should ask themselves & somehow that disqualifies the op to do nothing except work in fast food? As a Burger King employee I am outraged....
that is because you are using your nutrients properly; they are meant to serve the plants needs; over feeding serves only the makers of nutes and hydro store assholes

Those crystals are not from adding sucrose which isn't working the way you think it does....it feeds the microbes in your soil not the plant. Plants can't actually use regular sugar; they have to make it themselves through photosynthesis which is converted from what is absorbed from the soil or whatever you put in the water.... Go. Read.

All of the site
Leeching is using 15 gal of water in a 5 gallon pot, flushing excess nutes from the medium.. We need standard terminology!!
All of these sites say to stop nutes and use water only the last two weeks... this is not flushing or leeching...

I believe this is because you use nutes responsibly and don't try too push your plants to their limits..
No bid nute build up... no bad taste!!

We don't need standard terminology for something that doesn't exist anywhere in botany except right here...
Commercial food crop farmers don't worry about "flushing" because they aren't pouring 2000ppm nutrient solutions on their fields. That's just too damn expensive on a commercial scale for one... And its just plain bad for business.
The solution is a simple one... Just stop over fertilizing.
The other thing that's funny is the way people spit out "chemical fertilizer" like its plutonium or something... This isn't fucking drain O people... Its nutrients.. Potassium, nitrates, phosphates you know the same "chemicals" you consume by the bucket load every damn day in EVERYTHING you eat and drink and breathe...
