By flushing, I assume you mean flushing the soil with 3x water, and not forced starvation at the end. If it is that, Geoflora provides a special case:Sooo... @Emilya ...do you flush at all in your organic garden at any point before harvest? What are your recommendations? I am interested because I am using GeoFlora products on some of my crop-horde and need the experienced advise you can provide. Should I feed them all the way to harvest or slack off top-dress feedings toward harvest?
I know GeoFlora is the easy way to go and that you "build" your organic soils individually, piece-by-piece - however - as a beginner here...inquiring minds want to know. Do you flush before harvest or slack off top-dress feedings before harvest?
Geoflora recommends skipping the final feeding... and if you consider that there are still microbes working on all the leftover nutes from the previous feedings, its not exactly going cold turkey.
There is no point in flushing an organic grow, and by this I mean the 3x pure water thing. There are no salts building up and nothing to flush out except raw nutrient broken down enough to flow out with the water... and that seems counterproductive.
So read your GF directions carefully and save your money that last two weeks. The plants don't need that last hit.
