For How Long Do I Flush My Plant? Im Using Hydroponic.

  1. also can I only use ph'd water? im posting a picture of the plant. can you guys give me your opinion if plant is ready enough.it has been flowering for 2 months under 1000watt hps..? nice2.JPG , 100_2285.JPG

     
  2. she looks beautiful, let it ripen up a bit longer
     
  3. When i flush i switch from distilled to pure tap thats been sitting a few days.

    5 day flush is good enough for me.

    She's lookin great. Id let her go another 7-10 days
     
  4. thank you guys. okay.. n how about if I flush her for 10 days with pure tap water, will she still ripen enough while flushing?
     
  5. Id do 5 days, those extra 5 days of nutes will fatten her up imo.
     
  6. and also, sorry man im a newbie.. will the flush help take away that grassy smell and give me that pure dank smell? I mean it smells bomb right now. but I notice on my last little plant I cut down the dank smell when away and I got this grassy smell.. but I know I didn't flush good enough on that one. that's why im flushing 5 days minimum..

    alright will do man. thanks a lot.

    You got a grassy smell because you didnt cure it right. You can grow the most beautiful plants but if you dont cure correctly it will ruin the whole grow and the bud.

    Flush has nothing to do with it really, well maybe a little.

    You flush the plant to take chemicals out so that the smoke isnt harsh and so that when the cure is done right, the flavor comes out better. Its to help the plant suck the last bit of sugar out of the leaves and convert them into thc, cbd and a host of other cannibinoids, as well as swell the buds to their maximum potential. Essentially, starving them to finish them up.

    I got the grass smell too when i first grew. Now i hang them or 7-10 days after cutting the whole plant down. I do not seperate it. After ten days i then trim it up into nugs and if its wet it goes into paper sacks, like from the grocery store. Then after a few days i put it in jars. Some people burp it (open the jar to let air in) because they need to, but mine is usually pretty damn dry by then. When i put it in jars the smell gets overwhelming and the dank smell is there and apparent.

    The cure also helps chlorophyl from the leaves so that the harshness isnt there.
