Ok. What I am wondering is: Exactly; What is the definition of a "flush"

Watering plants is essential, but flushing plants is also beneficial. Flushing plants means flooding them with water. Due to excess water, the soil is washed, and excess nutrients are removed.

You just need to give excess water to the plants so that it starts draining out from the hole at the bottom. Overwatering is done, and the water is drained from the bottom. The drained water brings extra nutrients from the soil.

Usually, plants are flushed with plain water. Some growers also prefer flushing plants with distilled water. But when the pH is unbalanced, or the plant is suffering from the nutrient lockout, pH-balanced water is preferred.

You're a flusher?

I'm not very experienced with growing indoors in soil. With these Autoflowers I am now only 7 plants deep. I'll admit something that has gotten me flamed before. I hear what everyone with a ton more experience says. But. I water to runoff twice in a plants life if nothing happens. I just can't get the logic of overfilling if there's nothing I need to get out of there Hydro was easier in a lot of ways.

Well, you a mod so you do as you like. Personally, I think forums are meant for discussion. If you are tired of me asking things and wanting to discuss things I am starting to think this forum is not what I have been looking for. Which of course is cool

I grow in coco and flushing is a regular thing. But it's not for soil. Runoff is a different animal then flushing

@Azton your just the new kid on the block, we have been over that topic so many times that our response is canned, its nothing personal.

I grow in rock wool so I ALWAYS Fertigate to 20% run off to waste every day that I fertigate. When it is time to change my reservoir I dilute the strength of the PPM by 50% and I FLUSH the rock wool cubes with 100% of the volume they hold over the course of 8 fertigations in the day. This flushes out any residual nutrients that may be building up out of balance but does not harm the biome. I start the next day's fertigations with fresh in balance nutrients.

Plants do not exuded nutrients once absorbed, they do however exude sugars and hormones to trigger microbes to make the nutrients they most want. So they cannot be flushed once overfed or out of balance.

You can do this kind of flush in coco. It is often used to correct an overfed or out of balance pot If done slowly over a day it does not harm the biome.

You should not do this kind of flush in peat based soil or compost based soil. Flushing peat or soil is usually the final nail in the coffin of an already dying plant. Some of them do manage to fall over the finish line but it ain't pretty.
