this isnt the best place to ask about flushing these days it just descends into arguments alot against some people are for it regardless if your intent on flushing it the last 2 to 3 weeks is what most folk do so when it looks like its almost there but not all the way you would start flushing it in theory my advice make your own mind up with if its better or not try some flushed and some not see what you prefer

Exactly my stance, Try it yourself. Agree on timing as well, I use plain water the last 2 ish weeks. You can’t actually know until you’ve done both yourself.

So I don’t pour large volumes of water in my pots at once. I do however taper off my feed once the flowers are set and maturing. Then once they look almost ready I’m plain water the rest of the grow. People here will tell you not to flush but my advice in try it for yourself, tune out the crowd and see what actually works for you like others have posted here.

  • Rx Green Technologies evaluated the effects of different flushing times on chemical profile, flavor, and smoking characteristics in Cannabis flower.
  • Flushing periods of 14, 10, 7 and 0 days were imposed on Cherry Diesel.
  • No differences were detected between flush treatments for yield, potency, or terpenes.
  • Analysis of mineral content of leaves indicated small changes in content of iron and zinc.
  • Taste test panelists tended to prefer flower flushed for 0 days.

Study was performed one time. Very scientific.

That seems to be the trend these days.

If you flush make sure to use some sugar water. You can buy a bottle of Clearex for $20. That will get all the nutrients out of the buds so you won't be smoking fertilizer and the ash will burn pearly white. You have to dump ten times the volume of liquid through your growing medium everyday for 2 weeks to get the best results. Don't worry about things staying too wet just pretend you're growing hydro.
