first off, I’m an organic supersoil grower only. Ever used chemicals and I stated that earlier, so I don’t flush because I use supersoil. Every book I’ve ever read on salt base or chemical nute growing says you should flush. Dude said he uses chemicals so I gave him info based on info from those. Books so no need to be dick dude. Was trying to help the guy out, did you?
Yeah, I'm in the no flush camp.

Recirc hydro using mineral salts.

This is a joke, right?
Yes. It’s a joke. I’m a joke. 8 zips trimmed off one plant with a 900 dollar light and daily effort is a joke. Three weeks ago.
Can you please show me your two larger soil plants in a 4x4 and please help me improve my grow I feed between 1200-1900ppm but maybe not enough I’d like to learn to yield more because I share with my father with medical problems and I am looking for max yield so my father can be as comfortable as possible. Thanks.

And I respect that as a grower. There’s many different ways to skin a cat and most of the time we end doing what is comfortable to us. Didn’t come here to fight with any one bro. My intentions were good.

But bro, that's like not a real source. Show us a study of weed in dirt yo. One where in nature where it naturally LSTs itself and changes color. Because if it ain't changing color like them fall trees then it ain't ready. No bad vibes though.

:roll::wall:
Not the best example bro ......lol.
If you're going to question my personal conclusion of a side by side comparison of flushed vs. unflushed.........why don't you do a comparison yourself first before spouting off?
I'll take into consideration you're only on your second grow ever yo , and you're already an expert.

Trees change color in nature because the amount of daylight is reduced........temperature is also a contributing factor.......nothing to do with withholding food.
No bad vibes though.

I was replying to you in jest. The other guy has been smoking a little too much or doing whatever knows else... I thought the ridiculous written post was a big enough clue, sorry sarcasm doesn't always translate well. Especially when there are people that write like that for real.

And yeah my second grow lol. ;-)

Top of this page - I don't grow in dirt. Prefer the precise control that hydro allows.

Can't you fit 4 in there?

Forgive my sharp tongue.

First I must say this: THIS IS MY FIRST GROW EVER! SO DONT SHIT ON ME OR CALL ME A PLANT RAPIST!


Alright, so tomorrow the plants will be entering day 49 (7 weeks) of flower (since switch).

I can def see they’ve fattened up.
I’d say 30% - 40% of pistils turned brownish.
Plant looks healthy with very light tip burn.

Now I know breeder info is sometimes off, but if I were to follow their guidelines, I should be harvesting next week.

Here is my question for all you lovely people:
When do I start the flush? (Growing in Coco)
I read that in coco in should be 1 week before harvest...
So I guess the real question is how many more days till harvest so I know when to flush?

I’ve included several photos (one time of them under a x30)

Let me know! I will take any advice and tips with open arms!
Wtf is flush, something new? Will it make my plants bigger?

I have everything ready for my next grow.
Gonna go for a Pineapple Express & Jackherer grow. Both photoperiods.
I’ve made lots of mistakes in my first grow and so I’m pretty pumped to get started on my second.
I do have 1 more question if you don’t mind:
Say this grow is over in 1 month, so the tent will be free and ready for the Pineapple Express. Can I start the seeds 2 weeks from now, so they will be 2 weeks old when moved into the tent.
The only problem I can think off is that the environment won’t be that great cuz all I have besides the tent is a propagation tray&dome.

so would you suggest I start the seeds when the tent is free or I start the seeds outside the tent(in my bedroom actually) 2 weeks in advance?
I do have a separate grow light so they’ll get plenty of light.
Why not wait until two days before harvest to crack eggs? No problem! Put em in a pot.

Flushing is the process of dumping gallons of pure water through the substrate the plants are growing in. The plant takes in that pure water and using a process call Flushosynthesis it removes all the leftover nutrients. Flushosynthesis should not be confused with Photosynthesis which is the process in which plants convert light energy, H2O, and CO2, into O2, glucose, and other sugars to feed the plant. The O2 is released into the atmosphere.

I'm surprised you have never heard of the process of Flushosynthesis.
