you flush to purge the soil of nutes and additives.

^correct. Flushing removes the build up of salts, and gives you a smoother smoke when you harvest.

Re: Flushing??

ok thanks how do you flush the plant??

Re: Flushing??

To flush, I water through 1 1/2 times the volume of the pot. This will remove the bulk of any salts that have accumulated.

Re: Flushing??

ok so u just heavily water the plant with no nutrients??

Re: Flushing??

Yep, and allow for flow through to remove salts.

Re: Flushing??

theres only one small hole in the bottom of each pot so for better flow should I drill a few more?? or u think one will be enough?

Re: Flushing??

definitely, you can make larger quantities of smaller holes in order to increase efficiency with drainage.
