Im on to the last two weeks now and i will be using no chemicals what so ever and im not using florakleen! I have a 3gallon pot i think thats about 11litre.. how many litres plain water do i need to put through my pot a day?? Thanks -->#fr0skii0n3#<--
I personally flush atleast my pot size first go round. Then a gallon or until a decent amount of run off(depends on my pot size) every day after for a week or 2. I didn’t even ask, but are you in soil? Coco? Other?
Some people don’t flush. Some people do. Depends on if the care about solely getting high, or are a connoisseur of your buds. And we all have different ways, as you can see Lucas has a different way and sees my way unnecessary lol. To each their own. You’ll find your own way of flushing eventually my friend. Good luck
I have buds I flushed for two weeks with PhD water and I have bud (same strain grown same time same place) that I didn’t flush I really cannot tell any difference at all in smoothness flavour etc. Nutrients are absorbed through roots and turned into energy stored into fan leafs the “sun” breaks down the nutrients in the leafs into energy distributed where needed. Think about when you eat steak, you don’t have steak in your body it doesn’t store the steak, it’s broken into usable energy. There isn’t even any facts on flushing. I don’t bother anymore, not only that but any fruit or vegetables or wheat etc most definitely are not flushed before harvesting. Idk it’s my opinion but there’s far more info ( if you read into agriculture an how plants work ) that goes against it. I personally think it’s a bunch of bogus. My opinion of course tho .
Better way to put it I guess is. The leafs are the carrier of the nutrient which from there is broken down and “digested” and put into energy that’s needed via branch growth in veg stage and new leafs , or in this case the flower or fruit the part that’s growing. The bud is the one receiving the already broken down nutrients that have been turned energy not the one storing the nutrients. This is how it works for flowers fruit and vegetables at lease I’d assume it’s the same for bud

Well that just about clears it cheers guys! And tbh i chopped a lil tester off her last night dried it kinda fast but its smooth as fk and stones ya like hell only had a few litres of plain water through so cant make that much difference -->#fr0skii0n3#<--
Also i forgot ivs been using bio bio bloom organic for past 3 weeks lol so that woulda pushed the old hydro nutes out anyways ? -->#fr0skii0n3#<--
It might of Nutrients are nutrients. Organic is the same shit just comes in different forms once it’s in the plant its the same shit. Another valid point though organic growers always claim no flush needed but once there in the plant they are the same . . Eh Idk I don’t buy it Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Great post man thanks. That’s a good way to put it though if you plant isn’t getting nute burn it should be using up all of those nutrients they shouldn’t be lingering around.
