Flushing using Flawless Finish? (Final Phase)

[Benvanboro]

So I'm just starting flush.. I've ran the flawless finish through the plants 3 times now with heavy run off.. not seeing much color change and my ladies need to come down I've got about 50% amber trichs and don't want it to go any further.
Anyone have some advice on flushing? I know I need to flush out the flawless finish but how many times should I run it before switching to PLAIN RO water. I need the plants to be fully flushed as fast as possible. Thanks and happy holidaze!!

Yea that's what I'm doing now, I used the flawless finish for the first 3-4 flushes now I'm using plain RO water.
I was just trying to see if there are any tricks to speeding up the flushing process. 3 of my 5 plants are more then ready to come down right now.. I don't want to lose quality by going too long

Final flush, cleared, all just sugar water. A carbohydrates boost to use up the nutes stored in the plant. Straight ph water is good too. If you need to speed up the finish, I suggest you turn Temps down to like 65.

i have heard that cutting doen to like 9 or 10 hours if light will also force a faster finish ...like shorter days at the end of fall season...

have NOT done it personally but in theory i get it and don't see how it could hurt anything

you could dry a little bud and smoke it to see if there is any chemical nutrient after taste or such harshness, It may be ready. If the buds are ready and the leaves are still green, I personally would not wait for the leaves to brown up. That is me though.

I agree. If you end up having a choice of 'a little nutes left in the buds' or 'buds that are half-dead', I'd just leave a few nutes in there. "Flushing" isn't something to ruin a crop over, especially if they weren't hammered with nutes.
