Thank you for that compliment! I still like Fifi's grows better. Taller and bushier. I'll get there.
It's also my way of complimenting her the lazy mans way...in my own journal!



I was just wondering that myself. I want to make sure these are fully flushed to give maximum mellow smoke. I can't take the harshness and a vape machine is on hold for the time being.

How many water flushes are enough to really get it all out of there? My soil was prepared in the beginning so I don't know if fully flushed is what I'll get, but how many to max flush? Anybody? Does the molasses help flush the nutes out too?

The length of time required for a harvest flush is dependent on the time plants will consume any nutrients in the plant and medium used when either fed pH adjusted water or pH adjusted water with a flushing agent. Harvest flushing times may vary from 4-7 days for Aeroponics/Hydroponics, 7-10 days for soiless mediums (peat moss and coco coir) and 7-14 days for soil on average. Unsulfered molasses can be used at 2 tablespoons per gallon as a harvest flushing agent imparting aroma and flavor to the buds. Flushing with a low ppm solution aids in removing additional nutrients from the plants during a harvest flush.

Here is a recipe for a home made Clearex flushing solution

Today I mixed up the Clearex Flushing Solution suggested by Goldengoose7

in a large pot I combined:
1 gallon of distilled water
240 grams of Dextrose (Used for Beer Making)
120 grams of Sucrose (White Table Sugar)
3 grams Sodium Benzoate (as a preservative)
10 drops of Green Food Colouring

the Clearex Flushing Solution was allowed to cool and returned to the 1 gallon container.

I will use 15 millilitres per gallon of this Clearex Flushing Solution during my final flushing.
