What flushing does is removes all the built up money in your pockets. I like to consider buying flushing products a donation to folks that need the money more than I do.

Flushing lol..

If you must, it's 2 ml per litre. For x amount of days.

Keep in mind that it is just an Epsom salt wash @ 15 a bottle.

Also Last two is when flower stacking occurs.

Good luck..

Nah man I'm learning chill out. If I shouldn't flush then explain. I figured I should considering I've been using Salt based nutrients (advanced) and I've been reading that a good flush creates a smoother smoke when using salt based nutrients as they build back up that is introduced to what we smoke. Idk man. I just need help. Should I not flush then ? Should I just harvest ?

damnn. I hear you man. Would you like to explain what I should do instead ? I am here to learn sir. It'll be great to give me some tips on what I should do rather than doing what I've planned too.

What happens when you use Flawless finish, is that all the prior nutrients will become broken down and WILL uptake into your plant. If this is done too soon to cropping, it will cause terrible tasting smoke.. in my experience. In reality, you can use H2O2 for an initial flush to cleanse the root zone and provide a blast of O2, I enjoy adding it each day to my res during "flush time", but that's just me. I enjoy giving the roots a wakeup the last week or so... makes for a WHITE ash bowl and jays so clean you won't stop till it's out. Flawless finish ruins a lot of hard work done by beginners

Nice, so I won't use this and return it tomorrow thank you !
Last week I watererd using plain tempted pH adjusted water. I flushed the 5 gallon smart pots using 5 gallons worth of water twice in a day (10gal) for 3 different days during the week(30gal) total. I then added the last weeks worth of the scheduled nutrients. I was planning on flushing using the agent but now I will just harvest. I'm not familiar with using H202 so I rather not unless I could get a walk through. So I guess at this point I'll pick one small bud tonight cure it over the next 36 hours and taste it to see what it's like. I'll update you on taste and aroma etc.... should I at least flush it with some water like I did previously just at lesser amounts ? Thanks

If you have already begun giving it straight up PH'ed water, then I would just continue doing so until you're satisfied.. Typically a week n half is what I do. If you want to use the H2O2 rinse next time just let me know.

BTW, do some reading on curing vs drying. There is a process the buds go through when chopped that you must make certain happen or your bud will still have that green harshness

My guy!!! Thanks bud, will be doing so now !!! Cool, I'll keep up on the water then already have 10 gallons being left out to remove any possible chlorine. I do this always a night before most times less water.

I have to disagree. Flawless or Clearex or the like dont cause the plant to uptake anything but water. The entire point of these flushes are to remove salts aka metals. The fact is flushing always produces better product as an end result not to mention healthier product. There are a million right ways to do this but dousing your girls in h202 in the end is not a good idea. Root zones come on. Hyrdozyme max complete are recommended but definitely not if you are or have used bennies. Definite bad advice. Talk about crap weed

K. I'm going to stick with flushing being a myth.

Flushing does not make the product smoother.

Proper care, feeding and environmental conditions do. And then proper drying.

Also the genetics. The breeder has hopefully worked the strain for flavor.

I feed but tapering off the concentration as they need less towards ripening. Then usually only water the last 1 or 2 times. And honestly only to not waste nutes.

Also more mag is not recommended at ripening. They don't need much then. Even Botanicare says to disconue the Sweet bottle for the last 2 weeks. That's mostly mag sulfate.

Multi bottle lines are promoting just that. Paying for multiple bottles. Most are not needed at all. But this is a hobby for some and they cater to the grower who wants to "play".

I use only amended potting soil (ocean forest) and Pure Blend Grow only in flower. It is a balanced complete naturally derived fertilizer.

Why would I want to stop fertilizing this growing flowering plant just because it has a couple more weeks. Those big buds will double in size and potency during the last 2 weeks.

I just use less as needed.

Flawless finish is magnesium sulfate and water. Don't forget the magic claws. 15$ of Epsom water.

Last 10 days switch to 0-2-3 and see real magic happen.

FF has great marketing though.

Im not a fan of an products but no its not just epsom salt. Jesus these forums sometimes are ridiculous. Which is why most people still use bennies at the same time they use hygrozyme or h202. Flushing is always a debate. However if you are growing for product you def flush. If for you its up to you. If you have been using synthetics which means if you used anything other than water then flush. Having done this for 25 years i can assure you your girls will get through the final days just fine with water alone. After all the sky doesnt rain magnesium sulfate. So much bullshit out there. Does flawless work? Absolutely. But no better than running base nutes diluted to 10 to 1 with a bit of leeching agent and some phosphorus which is inside undoubtedly in trace amounts

What does flushing remove from the plant?
