Arrow Do you flush before harvest

Do you flush before harvest? I would like to hear from others if you flush or not and if you do, which method do you use? Do you flush with just water or a solution? How far from harvest do you flush?

Re: Do you flush before harvest

Yes and no. I stop feeding about a week before harvest and just feed straight water from then on in but I don't add extra water to actually flush.

Re: Do you flush before harvest

I was looking over the answers so far in this thread and realized I did not explain my own method at the beginning. In the past I have used only water anywhere between two weeks and a week before harvest. The reason for starting this thread was I am considering flushing with Sweet added. I have heard that some people add carbs at half strength during the flush. I have set a cut off date for nutrients at a week before expected harvest.

Re: Do you flush before harvest

I quit feeding 7 days before the cut, and when i say flush, it's three times as much water as the volume of the container the plant is in. i flush three times in that week with carbos added in. no other watering at all.

pictures?

I flush about 5 days before to allow the plant and buds to dry out before hanging.

Re: Do you flush before harvest

Using 5 gallon buckets of soil I stop feeding a week before I think it's finished, and then water only for two to three weeks. <G>

meaning, when I think it's a week out it's really three weeks out, especially when growing a new strain.

Residual nutrients in the buds can lead to a harsh smoke that crackles as it burns and does not taste very good at all. By that point, we can simply call them "impurities".

Speaking to the original topic, I flush at least a good 3-4 weeks before harvest. The last few days the plants are given no water whatsoever.

Re: Do you flush before harvest

Yeah I flush. Previously with straight water for one week. This time with black strap straight through. Once I skipped flushing and fed straight through... Firing up a was like lighting a sparkler.
