My girls are typically a little burnt but most of that goes into the trim bin. I was saying, if you burnt them in just the past week or two before the flush, I'd give them another couple days but if it happened earlier in the grow, and didn't progress, a normal 1 week flush should be fine.

You go right ahead and smoke the nutes and the chems used to make them. This is not the place for twits so keep your hashtag to yourself.

You’re not smoking nutes if you grow correctly. Salts and chems are for pools. Btw, you’re right, it’s not a place for twits so take your broscience elsewhere.

@L1ne, obviously there is contention in the different camps. I had one plant that I didn't flush, when burned it crackled popped and sizzled. Dried flower should not sizzle.

Most people confuse "flushing" with feeding plain water for the last 2 weeks . Would you do a full strength feed the morning of harvest? What about 24 hours before harvest? At some point you reach a point of diminishing returns where feeding a plant will not add anything significant to the final product other than costing you more in nutrients.

No, to me flushing is when you have a problem in your medium and you flush it to correct the issue. In that case I think its better to flush with a properly ph'd nutrient solution, so you reset your medium to the proper ph/ec levels instead of giving it plain water.

I grow organic, so my plants are always feeding on that living soil. Organic weed tastes much better and burns fine, that’s all I need to know.
