Just wondering if I should flush organic nutrients as well.im using blue planet nutrients organic line.im starting flush because I've seen a couple ambers now,about 6%, and plucked a leaf and tasted it,no bitter taste,just green so do I flush organic nutrients too?i never used the full strength through veg or flower and water feed water feed was my regimen

don't flush just use plain water with no ferts and let them get ugly...yeehaw..flushing is for chem guys and toilets...there shouldn't be a build up of salts in an organic grow...

Thanks trout that's what I was saying because I thought I had like a good 3 weeks since all I saw was clear trichomes and I went ahead and gave her the last feeding and she started to get a little yellow on me even though I fed her.they starting to get pale yellow on me without flushing anyways

Lol no bro/sis I tasted the stem of the leaf.if it's bitter there's too much build up according to my research and if its tasteless of just taste green there's no build up

If you have a cheap TDS meter, check your runoff.

With organic nutes, if you water to plenty of runoff each time, you will not need to flush, however if you are not watering to proper runoff, you should definetly flush. I don't care if you are doing amended soil with water only. That shit is going to be harsh and black ash.

As stoned-t says, no need to "flood" or flush....just water to slowly leach out the last remaining time the plant is finishing.

Nothing worse than weed with fertilizer tang to it! Ugh!

Thanks Kony and aridbud that's exactly what I'm doing.not a toilet flush but just getting enough run off when I water for these last two weeks.this time just giving them a little more water than regular watering

Depends on what you mean by flushing. If it means to only give them water for the last 2-3 weeks, yeah, do it! Especially if the plants look like they have enaugh or too much nutes in the soil at that time.
If it means you wanna put liters of waters through the soil to leech the nutes out, I would't do that. And you shouldn't need it except if some major fuck-up hapened and your mix is too hot or you feed by mistake a dose of liquid nutes that is much bigger than normal.
 
If your soil is living and you aren't feeding your dirt anything out of a bottle (save for molasses or fish hydrolysate), to my understanding, you don't need to flush. If you're using this Blue Planet stuff, (General Organics, Nectar of the Gods, etc.) then flush. Straight water should speed up senescence and get your plants nice and yellow. Less chlorophyll to fuck with your taste/curing process... God I hope I know what I'm talking about, haha.
