HOW LONG TO FLUSH YOUR MARIJUANA PLANTS BEFORE HARVEST??

If u spray 0 ppm water on your dried nugg, close the lid and let rehydrate. When dried out again does it take with it some of the unwanted stuff?

Actually the reason a flush is recommended is because it forces the plant to use up excess nutrients stored in the leaves.

Recommended by who? Does anyone know of any credible articles which indicate that you need your plants to be starving and devoid of all nutrients at harvest time in order to produce the best quality product?

Have you ever seen professionally grown marijuana? Have you noticed that their foliage is green healthy and vibrant right up until the day they harvest? Do you think they flush their plants and starve them for the final few weeks? Healthy and plentiful leaves are far more effective at providing the plant the energy it needs to reach its maximum growth potential. You have nothing to gain and everything to lose by starving your plants of nutrients in such a crucial stage of their development.

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.

If you stir some salt into 0 ppm water, then evaporate the water off, what's left? Got it? This is the same. Chemistry and physics are the same in Cannabis as they were in High School.

You can flush during the second and third week of the harvest window. Nobody said anything about starving the plant during the final two weeks of its flowering stage.

What would flushing a properly grown plant during the "second or third week of harvest window" do for it then?

The idea behind flushing is to let the plant “use up” all the nutrients/chemicals contained in the plant/buds, so there isn’t any left over after harvest to cause harshness or chemical tastes. In other words, you are starving the plant of nutrients by not providing them everything they need.

I'm yet to read any credibly study that indicates that starving your plants at the end of the flower cycle has any positive effects.

And what exactly do you mean second and third week of harvest window? The ideal harvest window is a matter of days not weeks.

the harvest window lasts for about 2 weeks. Thats how long it takes for the trichromes to start degrading. The point of the matter is both of our opinions are just that opinions. I never claimed that flushing actually works just that some growers do it and in their opinion it works. In my opinion the way to tastier smoother buds is the dry and cure.

Peter, there are alot of "mythological" growers who do not know jack about science Yet, the same fuckers brush off science because they've got it all figured out by themselves with no real reasoning ect. I am an electrical engineer, i tell many old folks straight that you cant simply drain a modern car battery by sitting it on concrete, yet they still brush me off even though i explained the science behind it. I see the same damn thing here, with 20+ years experienced growers. I mean,20 years ago these same dudes used to flush ect and at one point they realized "holy shit!" its more potent/smelly ect when i dont flush! (i ultimatly respect these growers for bringing the truth)Same thing with the harvest window! Its almost always strain/environment/lighting that will make or break the plants flower speed. I could grow 3 of the same strains from seed, you can count on them all being slightly different potency from one another if they were all harvested on the same day.

I flushed my weed one time and all it did was get me a huge plumbing bill.
