exactly. most of the people on here really have very little clue about true organic gardening and what it means. when i read all the shit people are using on their plants and all then flushing...it just creates so much more to manage and worry about. we are 100% organic and will put our harvest up against anyone's for both taste, yield and buzz. Also alot of these folks really fail to do adequate research. once you build up your medium with the right nutrients why would you ever flush them away. makes no sense!

Hi Shannon, what organics are the best for flavors? I hear bat guano is No.1?

During flower I’m using about three cups fresh compost mixed with 3 tbs’s of hi yield super phosphate , 1 cup 2-8-4 , 1/2 cup North Atlantic kelp meal, 1/2 cup of garden tone and about a 1/4 cup of neem seed meal all mixed together also I add a few tbs’s of epsom salt I use thirty gallon grow bags wrapped in skid wrap plastic on the sides doing this top dressing once a month during flower I also water with recharge twice weekly, each plant getting 8 - 10 oz’s and using only silica blast in my watering no ph’ing or anything

I have been doing organic nutes for years now and I still flush. If you do a side by side comparison the flushed weed tasted and burned better. You have to get out the excess nutes and salts. I mix some carbs with my water and I flush for at least 24 to 48 hours in complete darkness. That will give you resin filled buds and smoother smoke. Hope this helps.

All your doing is getting rid of all the good shit out of your soil only if your using bottle nutes you need to flush other wise you just killed your living soil/super soil

you have to flush even with organics. there are salts all through, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, phosphate, in potassium and sodium which have similar salts. fish meal, bone meal, sea kelp, sulfur, zinc......etc..... you can carbon disulfide liquid will dissolve the mineral and not the salt. Filter to remove the salt. You then evaporate carbon disulfide liquid to recover the mineral.

Do you flush the earth ? If you running true organic there’s no need to flush the plant will do it naturally

Why are people using liquid organic supplements? Why not just build up your soil? I build my soil and use plain water throughout the entire grow. It's way less hassle than dealing with fertilizers and no need to flush because the plant only uses what it needs.

I think it's the use of LED lighting, it's really not a "full spectrum" lighting as one is led to believe, hence the need to supplement nutrients like Cal Mag. If your using LED lighting and not having problems....please share your grow style.

Hi

When growing with organic nutes is the final flush still needed or can you feed right untill the end for flowering im just using batgauno and this organic nute called biosevia it says it makes the final taste of your buds much better so i was thinking i could feed untill the end ive been flushing as i went anyhow im just looking to know what way it works

Flushing is only done to push the plant into its final stages of maturity. Removing nutrients will have no impact on removing any salt build up in the plant and it will have zero impact on the quality of your bud. Its all about getting the plant to reach its final stages of life. People have been given this idea the bro science and if you go look at what the top cultivators are saying, its that flushing to help with maturity.

Organic nutrients or not.

I have to disagree. I can't flush my no till grow. My plants still mature, regardless.

I am not saying that flushing is what results in a plant coming to end its lifecycle. I am saying that cultivators used it as a tool to get plants to bring itself to the end of its maturity. It does that completely naturally. I am just trying to point out that the idea of removing salt build up that is taking place in the plant through restricting its nutrient uptake is a bit of pseudoscience. Based on the little bit of information I have come across, its pretty pointless.
