When should I start flushing. Auto
- Thread starter Newbie95
- Start date
Your plant doesn't look ready to me. However she is very pretty, and looks extra good. Take you a few bottom buds samples, slow dry it, and give a little test drive, while you are waiting the rest of the time. You are doing a great job with those autos Newbie95!

I see a good two more weeks of grow, than a week of flush, so 3 weeks and then chop them.'
Do you have a jewelers loupe, or small magnifying glass that can let you see how the trichs look b4 you harvest?
When dialing in my plants from a new strain, or phenotype, I always looked to see when I had a good ratio of clear to cloudy, and then cloudy to amber...
For me I always went for a tad more body than heady, so I'd go for a 50/50 cloudy to amber..
Just don't let them get too high of a percentage of amber, amber is when THC begins degradation, if my memory serves me correctly, it has been years since I have given advice, but I am sure the plant still grows as it grew, there are just a lot more strains then when I was last around, lol

yes I have a magnifying scope that hooks to my phone I got to check trichs. and most of the research ive done so far was suggesting a 2 week flush so i was gonna go for that. also i was looking for more of a stativa type affect so I was gonna go go mostly cloudy probably like 90/10 cloudy amber if I can time my flush correctly.

Sounds like a good plan, and yeah you could flush for two weeks.
If you have not been feeding them the max high amount, then a week will do well enough.

ive seen way to much research to believe that
Why are you asking then? I don`t think you researched too much... But, who am I, right?

An idiot mad cuz I didn't take his advise. I was asking so some1 could maybe suggest a time cuz I'm still a new and dont really know how mature by sight but I went ahead and gave my best guess and guess what I hit it on the noise.but ty I'll be harvesting in 4 days and I got probably a qp each plant on autos my first grow, with frost lookin like it was in the freezer. Why would almost every1 else suggest a flush if it didn't matter?
First, watch your mouth, kiddo. If you don`t wanna take advise, don`t take it, I don`t care. I am only telling you that it doesn`t affect taste and that you researched very little about the topic. https://www.rxgreentechnologies.com/rxgt_trials/flushing-trial/
Read a little bit, it doesn`t bite.
Everyone else do what they want, say whatever they wanna say, it doesn`t make it right.
As I said, I don`t care what you do, but if you ask for help, don`t tell people they are idiots for trying to teach you something.

i told u ur an idiot because u wanted in implied it about me, so ill just flat out say it to you and ur advise is bad advise and ive done plenty of research about flushing but i dont know this strain to know flower time and like i said b4 im still new so eye balling maturity is not something im used to. but i got it right any way like i also said so ty for nothing

Hey man, why talk like that? hambre just tried to give you some advice.
This kind of attitude ain't gonna get you far....
Also bear in mind that the canna world is full of myths, many well estabilished through bro science.
What may sound like bullshit in your ears, might prove to be true after research is done.
Do not dismiss info so easily because it oppposes your own research.
Remember that most breakthroughs, were first met with great disbelief, and were proven right a long time after that....
Many people are not ready to re-learn things.... a very important process....
When you are 100% sure your ways are the best, it's game over man.... especially if you go as far as insulting someone over this...

Comfortably numb!
You may want to start there! I grow various strains at a time, most (I'm a neophyte as well) I have never grown before. However, I do know when my girls are finishing etc... I did my homework, more importantly, I continue to do so... I learn something new every day. A la Ronald Reagan... "trust but verify". Corroborate your research, either prove it or disprove it. You owe it to yourself! You guys are shitting on each other???
I fell for that stuff in the past, and tried it too, and I found it wasn't in the plants best interest to flush. I've been growing since the 70s, and never flush, because it doesn't do anything good. It invites disease and bugs and is a fucking waste of time. If you overdose a plant, then a flush would help prevent more nutrient burn, but that plant will never be the same again. Flushing in and of its self, is very destructive to the the biology of bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi in the substrate. I never flush!

I have to make clear I am neither for or against these two cases.
All I'm saying is, as said above, verify for yourself before blindly believing.

I never flushed anything but a toilet until I started hearing the bro science lol. I never had anyone mention anything other than that’s tasty! And that’s back when I grew in rockwool and europonic 2 part. They never put on the label to flush. No one flushed. But now it’s a thing. I would like to see an actual scientific study. But yeah I reckon if you just wanted to save money on nutes but I routinely chop w out any break in the feeding regiment. Sometimes I get lazy and last week is a flush by default tho.
