Hey guys so I'm on my 57 day of flower. I bought clearex to use as the flush it says to use it 7-10 day before harvest but that's pretty much 2 feedings. My question is how do I no when she's successfully flushed. And I'm starting to see a lot of amber btw thanks RIU
Some help flushing plz

you won't EVER know until you understand that flushing is something stoners made up.

I flush with a round of microbes and fungi and then just straight water after that. Usually I start that 2 weeks before I think i'm gonna harvest.

if you don't even understand how, IT DOESN'T"T do what you think, then it's just BRO science and a bunch of stoners who think it removes nutes, and trust me, You guys don't understand, that's why you say stupid shit that stoners say. the soil is full of nutes, STFU

maybe you 'STONERS" can understand this
ROOTS, intake nutes,plant turns nutes into starch, starch is sent out to buds.
you cut off nutes, plant takes all nutes stored and sends them WHERE??? LMFAO, effen stoners

here is another post from @Dr.Who in another stupid flushing thread
By dr.who
Flushing at the finish for "taste"... IS a MYTH!
The bio science of the plant say's you can't "flush" anything from the plant. No matter what method of growing you do!
Read this and be sure to click the link at the end for more detail on the science...
I got asked about this in a PM by a member after seeing the disaster another thread became. He asked where to find books and papers on "flushing" and said he might try the "fade".
Here's my answer to him......I felt it needs to be seen,,,,,,again!
Your looking for post grad work. You would do better to search papers......The thing is, NOTHING in agriculture gets 'flushed" and that leads to little to no research in the area. You see, the thing is, the whole "idea" of "flushing is nonsense! Plants don't work that way! They do not take up nutrients or salts as most of you think of them! They do not "store" them in the sense you think of them! Not only that, but the nutritional "stores" in a plant are not in buds or budding or flowers! NO amount of "flushing" will "exchange" plant "stored" nutrition back "out" of the plant! Scientifically impossible by the way most of you guys understand......Ok, that's my word on "flushing". (No one listens to this in threads if they don't want to hear it or accept it.)
Now then, you propose the "FADE TO FINISH" method. Great idea in theory but, and this IS a BIG BUT! Remember when I said above that "the nutritional "stores" in a plant are not in buds or budding or flowers!" ? This shoots that theory in the ass right away. You see the main amount of stored nutrition is in either the roots and the rest in leaves and some in small amounts in transit in the phloam (the sap that actually moves the nutrients around the plant)......
Now when you "starve a plant" it will draw from it's self by actually breaking down the needed parts of it's self to do an "emergency" attempt to reproduce! (This can happen in certain plants even in veg! A kind of last ditch effort to continue the species.)
With that in mind you take the fact that the plant is not "moving" nutrients "out" of buds,but into them to speed growth and as fast as it can - "reproduce". This single minded process the plant now puts it's self on causes the plant to stress it's self. This self induced stress can, in many cases if done long enough, lead the plant to go bisexual, and produce "banana's" in a last ditch effort to reproduce and "carry on the line" and produce seeds...
Basically put, In reality you are moving nutrients that you're "attempting" to get rid of,,right to where your trying to remove them from! You are also stressing the plant in the way for "Herming" to actually happen easier!
I and many others that have tried to convey this actual plant science, are called everything you can think of and those 'impossible of understanding these facts", fight so hard against us that many of us have simply chosen to avoid the issue or don't fight to hard.
Anyway, there you are in as short and sweet and as simple/understandable as I can...
The thing is you have to understand Botany and Horticulture (and there are LOTS of subsections to those that are involved here) to truly put together the pieces of the puzzle to get your head wrapped around the idea that flushing and the "fade" don't work for what they are intended or alleged to actually do!
There you go Mods, nice, polite and to the point. (Sorry about the other thread Sunni)
There you go, Now have at it!
I'm stepping back to watch the circus.

Now the thing to do is to find out how to dry and cure properly.......
Dry at 50% RH at 70F and when the stems crack and not bend, it's time to jar.
For 2 weeks, crack the tops off for a few min. a day/everyday./
Now drop in a 58 or 62 Bovitia pack and seal the jar back up and let it sit in no light for 6 - 8 weeks. The taste and potency will be far, far beyond a dry and burp to smoke product of little taste and harsh hits.
Can't wait that long? At least leave some to cure for that length of time. You'll hit that and not go back...

what's even funnier, the people who agree that flushing is stupid are EXPERIENCED growers, the people who say to flush are noob growers.

The funny part is when someone new to growing asks a question and then insults those that answer said question. 
My wife bought a shirt that sums it up fairly succinctly. It says, " No, you are right. Let's do it the dumbest way possible because it's easier for you".

Not all the time, lots of folks are pre internet and this Myth has been passed down through word of mouth for decades.what's even funnier, the people who agree that flushing is stupid are EXPERIENCED growers, the people who say to flush are noob growers.
Some of the older generation I know wouldn't even think about coming onto a forum or learning anything new so they carry on the way they have done it for decades, because it works for them, But as we know weed is hard not to grow so it "working" or been "optimum" are different things entirely.
Don't get me wrong, I agree, you cant argue with science!
The Myth will die eventually, took a long time for folks to accept the world was not flat though.
@Marcuz516 If your going to do it regardless of the plant science then you will know because the leaves will change colour, the plant will yellow as it takes nutrients no longer available from the medium from the leaves and uses them up to finish. It will starve and fade.
Wow dude I can't ask a simple question or for some help on this piece of shit forum it's ridiculous thanks for all the help notice there's no answer to my fuckkng question simple!!! What are signs of my plants being flushed ??? I didn't fuckkng ask do I flush or not did I ? No so u didn't have to reply to this thread at all
Thanks for the advice bud
