To flush or not to flush

[hymee]

What is everyones take on flushing before harvesting?
Does anyone not flush?

[Anony]

Flushing is a must IMO.

[hymee]

Cool. Thanks for the input.

With a certain situation provided though, would you consider cutting and drying?

Here's an even better question.

I have a single DWC with 7 plants. I'm noticing that at least three of them are sativa dominant and are going take a little bit longer to get done. The other 4 on the other hand with be done in probably 20-25 days.
Would I be able to flush for ten days and then harvest the girls that are done, and then start to work the other plants back up on nutes till they are ready without wigging them out too bad?

[Littleoldme]

ya if you don't flush all you can taste is nutes, at least flush for 7-14 days.

[PURPLE_TREES]

yup you gotta flush+1.. 7 days should be adequate

[hymee]

Sounds good. Thanks everyone.

If you're doing ebb and flow can you run just plain RO water without nutes for a week or two and will that flush them?

ro water ussually has a 7ph reading i bring this down to 5.8 for flushing!!a week seems to do as well as longer flooding 3-4 times a day for 15 mins.hope this helps.

I use distilled. I usually don't have to adjust PH when I change out my water. 5.6-5.8 pretty consistantly. I think I'm just going to flush for a week and then, if I have to, go back to a lose does of nutes for the ones that have to finish.
