You`ll notice I did not use the word "flushing"
I said finishing
I sometimes flush with K to finish or sugar or sometimes it`s very rare but I can be lazy and just use water
When I say flush, I mean dump a lot of water onto the plant so its over watered, ensuring the roots stay very wet
but also I can use the term to mean setting up the soil/coco for the next use
See with a fast turn around many people choose to wash the salts and stuff out while the plant is still finishing
Now overwatering or using boiling water or using aspirin, triggers a chemical response in the plant, and makes the flowers age faster and the plant will brew up the sugars in it into alcohols.... like what happens during curing
So where as I don`t often "flush" I always "finish" my plants.... finishing can mean extra waterings or extra feedings or boiling the roots, or using aspirin
It comes down to cost too, why would I use expensive items in a feed on a plant that is getting cut down in a week or less ? even upto 2 weeks, I cut boosters and seaweed by 4 weeks till cut or I`m just throwing money away into the dirt.
Some people will say "never flush" others will say "you must give just water and loads of it for 2 weeks or more"
other people say lower temps others higher temps
It`s all down to personal taste
I mean look Mike... you`ve gone and got yourself some plant food to finish your plants with..........
What ever people do near the end of the grow to make their buds have a taste or a style that suits them is their finishing technique ... some people Leach and some people call leaching "flushing"
It`s not the same "finishing" is a term and how everyone finishes a plant is different
And normally depends on the strain... how long it`s been flowering.... and many other factors
Like when I use aspirin it`s normally because the plant has to be cut in 1 to 4 weeks and its not aged enough forget bud size, I like my buds to be a certain amount of ripe, sometimes I lose yield to speed up the ripening but that`s what I care about
If I have a full veg area and a full bloom area and an empty jar I`d rather speed a plant up them deal with some hooky blackmarket herb dealer....
The boil method does work pretty well if your running low temps and have no hot spots, I`d ask
@RM3 what he thinks
but I`m guessing he`ll just say pour 1 to 4 kettle loads on it about 3 to 6 days before you cut it down.
Personally I would give 100mg of aspirin every watering from about 2 to 4 weeks before you plan to cut it, if she`s not got yellow/brown enough for you by herself by then
That plant food should really speed her up now lets hope
