So many new growers without any experience are flushing plants and then posting in the newbie section "why do my plants look like this?"
Flushed Example ;(
Not Flushed Example
The plant on the left was flushed where the plant on the right is still being fed 2.2 EC in Sunshine #4 Advanced mix. The plants are under the same light equally spaced from the center. You can see the plant on the right is filling out whereas the plant on the left (same genetics, same veg time, same mainline training) is burnt, crispy and necrotic.
If you are going to do a plain water "flush" then it should be only a few days prior to harvest. Flushing the plants for 5+ days with plain water is not necessary and you should never flush a plant prior to it being finished, always flush a few days prior to harvest if you really just can't help yourself.
p.s I had a run in with some thrips early into bloom, the problem was resolved, so you will see some specking on the leaves from them little arseholes.
The plants look really untamed because they are, these plants vegged a bit too long and I was unable to prune them to my liking due to them being very prone to herming when stressed (Since gotten rid of these genetics, this is the last run of ETHOS Mandarin Sunset).
