So I'm not sure where I found it but it was a basic breakdown of plants and how nutrients go up and down them and how flushing effects that and how if you drown your plants (like literally put them in water (just the roots)) they will start to "cure" while still alive by creating alcohol from the sugars they have in order to live a little bit longer. I guess that's how plants survive a flood. If anyone knows the post please for the love of god. Break it down in lamens terms for me. Do I flush? Do I taper off my nutes? Do I take my effing pot and sit it in the bathtub full of water for 3 days in the dark? WTF?! I need Science! SCIENCE!!

man i woundnt put it in the bath tub and fill the bath tub with water if you are going to flush your plant you should do it when it is time to harvest. but yeah this is how i flush mine i got a 5 gallon pot for my plant and really you just what to water it with 8 gallons of water to flush only. like if you have a 4 gallon pot for your plant you want to flush it out with 7 gallons of water. you get what i am saying?

I still hold it depends what nutes your putting in and how much. There are applications where flushing is needed... me and my friend both noticed a chem taste starting to show in my buds the couple times I didnt flush. So with 2 weeks left I do one watering plain water, then one nutes. That leaves me about with a week, and it all plain water from there.

But I dont do an actual flush where you run water through (twice the volume of thepot) as above poster said.
