Do you think flushing is for toilets only?

Cannabis Flushing Study on Grow Nutrients I Rx Green

Rx Green’s research study on cannabis flushing explores the truth behind this urban myth in growing nutrients.

I dont trust "studies" done by nutrient companies. You realize how much more nutrients a commercial farm would spend feeding full strength until harvest day versus tapering down in the last 2 weeks?

That's because the plant was overfed during growth and salts have built up in the cells. Flushing will not remove that. Feeding less or no ferts the last while will cause the plant to use what's stored in the leaves and help reduce salts buildup.

Flushing is not just running tons of water once. Flushing also refers to this not giving nutes for the last some days. Flushing some specific nutrient out thus is leaving it out near the end.

Im talking about this:
"You're going to do everything you normally do when it comes to watering, except without any additional nutrients or supplements. Don't give more water at a time than normal, because this increases the chances of your plants getting overwatered and showing deficiencies/symptoms caused by that problem."

Some nutrients dont need this, some definitely need some and in some situations its best to just tune down the amount of nutrients, not stop them completely.

My point with this topic is that there is no yes/no answer to flushing, but it depends whether to flush or not, how long to flush and what to flush.

The answer to flush is no never.

Just adding water is not flushing, not even by definition.

Plants need nutrients till the end, every process is driven by them. When we harvest is before its natural end, it will require similar to the week before.

The idea behind water at the end was that your soil had enough to supply the last week or two but I see people reading this as a rule and putting their plant through a week or two of deficiency which wasn't good.

Maybe around where you live they use the term differently, but ever since like 98 when i first heard of flushing people have been using it also on just giving water at the end and if you google what is flushing, it will tell you the same at least where ever i have looked. Flushing is also used for suddenly giving tons of water to flush out the excess nutrients in soil for example in case of overfeeding. Flush is a word meaning to take off some nutrients from what ever medium the plant feeds from, you can do it in many ways and for many reasons. Here this is about before harvest flushing

People are arguing about this all over the topic on this forum, so even if it has been talked about before, clearly it has not been talked enough since many still have black & white view on the matter.

Im sure what ever you try to do with your post is so great and glorious nothing can match it, but do fuck off

Not on rollitup, think everyone has coined the term 'fade' to describe more accurately the difference.

There is no reason to treat a plant any different in this stage, many finish in rich soils indoor outdoor and with most other plants.

No reason for either to be dicks, this is old stuff we are long time past, I don't ask you to discuss how humans can fly like birds when a long time ago two brothers solved that.

It doesn't need to be discussed really, growers already know, the answers here mean you know too.

Okay, i havent been here for long, but i dont remember seeing people say term fade(never heard of that before, so maybe i just didnt pay attention because i didnt know what they were talking about) and i have seen people use the term flush and constantly debate all over whether its good and this term that only toilets need flushing seems to fly around here quite a bit.

It doesn't need to be discussed really, growers already know, the answers here mean you know too.

@OldMedUser its because there are chemicals and metals in the bud. With hydro you have to flush. Salt doesn’t burn like magnesium.

No nutes and nothing but water for 7 days.

If unflushed hydro bud doesn’t burn black, it’s been underfed and will be shite anyway.
