When to start flushing

Hey everyone. First grow here. Aurora indica in 9 different 16L pots, hand watering coco with emerald harvest nutes. The plants were all from seed so the phenotype a vary. All the plants are growing a little differently. I'm at the beginning of week 8 (day 51) tomorrow. This is supposed to be a 7-9 week plant according to nirvana. Do I flush the ones that grow faster and harvest earlier then the others? Little confused on what the next step is.

They haven't heard that flushing is for toilets.
Most need to go back to school, begin of week 8 would be ~56 days.
He is @ the beginning of week 7 if they're 51 days in.

why do new growers come on here and start talking about flushing?

thats not an intuitive thought. they wont know how to grow, when to harvest.. but they know to flush!!

I believe it is from people constantly saying that good medicine happens ALL in the dry/cure stage. I then hear, "if you don't flush for the last two weeks your medicine will taste bad and you wont have white ashes in your bowl after you light it". Newbs believe everything.

I definitely notice the MASSIVE effects of flushing the last 3-4 waterings probably halved my resin production, for tonight's harvest I fed 1/4 ea kelp n tiger bloom the last 3 waterings when I'd normally flush, fattened em up then they shriveled up yesterday getting too dry so I fed 2 tsp big bloom (ran out month ago) 1/4 ea kelp n tiger, let them soak for an hour then flushed with pure water to finish with a cleaner flavor,
I tride a nug that ripped off and dried for a few days and no lie im nervous that they'll taste nutey

I usually flush after I drop big stinky shit



Edit... OP just do some research on weather or not to flush... Check out Rm3 thread about flushing.. Shit there's so many threads on here that are worth reading about all the bro myths

you "tatse" a difference flushing but you use all those chemicals on your plant... See the correlation.

You feed your plant and "flush" it an hour later, Why? Are you trying to make your plant bulimic? Just dump your nutes down the drain, why the extra step?

Because it was on their last water b4 harvest, felt like feeding till the end then changed my mind after a little early sample had a chemy after taste and felt like they could absorb a tiny bit left but finish out with clean water. Next time I'm going to fed qtsp ea of kelp tiger n bloom 2nd to last then pure water flush last feeding
