I'm 8 weeks into flowering growing in soil and I'll be cropping in 2 days. I haven't fed them for over 1 week and I need some advise on flushing. I'm growing in 5g pot so I'm sure there not flushed enough. Because the grow room in upstairs I will flush in the bath with rain water. I just need to know if I should flush tonight and put them back under the light? or flush them just before I crop them? Many thanks.
 
Many say better to do the last water a few days before chopping, that way it's not QUITE so full of water, but I don't think it makes a difference.
If you haven't fed in a week, what are you trying to flush?
 
Nice info mate. The thing is The plants have only had 2 small waterings since then. They can't be flushed properly can they :)?

Soil? My advice? Flushing in soil is a fool's errand. Take a simple botany class sometime and see why I say that. Save your time, water and muscle. Water only until the end and then chop. KISS.

Ever see a farmer flushing a frigging 2000 acre field of corn or wheat? Save stressing the plant. Flush AFTER harvest to flush nutrients so you can re-use the soil. Studies show it takes 3-4 grows in soil before beneficial microbes are able to establish useful colony counts. Flushing before harvest is useless, throwing away used soil is dumb.

Anything CAN​ be flushed, but what we're saying, is you have basically already done it, by giving water only for the past week.
