Advice on FLUSHING, Please! ~~~~~~~~~~

[wildwahine]

Hi, I'm into my 8th week of Afghan Kush (organic, soil, indoors 1000w hps,) and started flushing 5 days ago. This crop is READY for harvest, and I want to flush thoroughly, but need to harvest soon, so what's your advice re: how often to flush?

Over the past 5 days, I've flushed 3 times with Clearex and tap water... I let it run through each time and empty trays so girls are not standing in water for long. I've been allowing a day between flushes, but want to flush every day to speed up the process. How does that sound?

Also, is 7 days enough -- some girls are ready for harvest NOW so I don't want to delay it, if possible.

Thanks!

some people like to say you dont need to flush with organics, I still like to have yellow leafs come harvest personally though, I grow buds, not leafs.

I've got some C99 that I'm in the same position with, could/should/want to harvest now but it ain't thoroughly flushed yet, as soon as its yellow I'm chopping.

Some flush is better than no flush so if you are that point where it NEEDS to be harvested and will deteriorate if let continue (even 1 more week), then harvest away and hopefully most of the remaining nutrients will be consumed already.

If you've even got 1 more week left in em (did you check the trichomes with a microscope?) keep drenching with as low of PPM water as possible and try to let em yellow up as much as possible.

not much else you can do in regards to having the plant consume all remaining nutes.

Thanks, ZM... so once a day flush is OK till harvest?
