Its natures way of putting itself to bed

The rains and cool temps make the leafs drop to become food for next year

At least thats my hippie science on that one haha

I'd agree with this too!
Seasons change. Autumn comes. Fall happens. Winter sets in. Major death of plants, and animals occurs.
Leaving a very large amount of organic matter, to be broken down, and become available for new life in the spring.

Your right flushing is a thing and it does have uses .

But some people will scream that they dont flush
They just water plain .......to me it's close enough to the same thing in my book your just not giving it as much as a "traditional flush" ...

i hate that

There are so many terms we use interchangeably all we can do is ask for clarification when we hear one to make sure we are on the same page.

Defoliate being one of them. Lol

I also don't have a problem if people want to feed to the very end.
But I produce fine quality and quantity consistently doing it my way.
So, i keep doing it.

That's what I'm having a problem with, since I started growing, this is probably the biggest topic I've read about the most. And I can come to no clear conclusion based off reading alone to want me to do one thing or the other. Really trying it yourself both ways seems to be the only real definitive answer if your searching for it.

Yep, i have tried both ways.
Now im not talking starving my plants

But I have my best results when i taper
And get a bit of fall colors.
Could be placebo effect because it looks beautiful.

Thats why the only way to learn is to "know for your own self"

If you can flush one plant and not another and dry and cure them the same :) then you'll know which you prefer

If i dont see fall colors im kinda bummed

Well I'm only feeding bare minimum at this point. About 1/3 tsp bloom every other watering. The last time I missed a feeding one of my plants just went straight deficient and lost 35-40% leaf mass

Okay so I am getting pretty close to harvest, and I am unsure I want to flush or not. I have 2 plants, and this will be my first harvest, and I really dont w as not to duck up the hard work all for something small at the end.
While I really dont want this to turn into a flush, dont flush debate. I'm having a problem.
My plants are needing to be fed every other watering, and if I dont give them nutrients, they just completely look like shit, and I cant afford to lose any more leaf mass on one of my plants without buds being affected.

So how would you flush in this situation? Or would you just taper off nutrients?

That was my last crop of skunk#1
It expressed like that in my scrog
Outdoors it stayed lime green
Niether yielded well
But very good smoke

She is beautiful, Is that skunk#1 from sensi seeds? I have a couple of those going right now.

I guess I really don't know what folks mean by flush as I do like @Cold$moke and just go plain water in my res the last 5 -7 days and top off my res with water the week before that to dilute.

Flush means two things..maybe three but lets stick with two.
1. Water only. Known for generations as watering. EG "Can you grab me a beer love, I'm going to water the lawn"

2. Flushing the medium of salts. Known for generations as leaching. EG " I recon ive over fed the fkr, can you pass me the hose love, and a beer?"


Flush was invented by a stoned plumber that stuck to his guns. Lets hunt this fkr down.

Much of the bad tasting weed is from people running the high ppm's that the nutrient companies feeding charts recommend. They just want to sell more product.

i'vr grown some awesome tasting gear when i first started. didn't know shit. burned my plants so bad i refused to take pics. still smoked great and smooth because i dried and cured it the right way.... can't believe i did that ONE thing right. my advice comes mostly from experience. i don't parrot like some. i say for me, flushing doesn't do shit. but it does for others, maybe they quickly dry and don't cure, so flushing removes the chlorophyll and makes it taste a little better. but curing achieves this, and much more. this is my belief, don't have to be anyone else's. science agrees more with my premise than the buds being sources rather than sinks.

it's amazing what people believe until science comes along. sometimes it isn't an easy battle, just look at the flat earth people.

Flushing or not the dry and cure is where the final product is created.If you throw it on a screen and let it get crispy in 3 days then you get shit to smoke.I like brown paper bags for a nice slow dry,then into the jars.
