Harvest & Curing Flush Questions

[realcarlos]

How long before harvest do you start to flush?

Do you flush everyday until flush?

If you have lets say a 3 gallon container. Does that mean each watering you should flush with 9 gallons of water (I read you should flush 3x the container)?

No, giving them 3x the water is only when flushing for a deficiency, over nuting, etc. You just want to give the normal amount of plain pHed water on your regular schedule. Start 2 weeks before harvest.

Unless your using organics then just carry on till the end.

I use BioBizz nutrients which is organic, also mix small amounts of Pk9-18 and recently AN Bud Candy for an extra added boost, i do flush, in 10l/11l pots ill drain out 15l-20l of plain water 3 times, every feed.

I have a... water, none, nutient, none, water, none, daily watering schedule and wen i flush i do... flush, none, none, flush, none, none, flush.

Ive tried unflushed buds with biobizz nutes, was ok but flushin seems to have a smoother final product, even a small flush i think would benefit

Haha I don't think the Guano it's self makes it into the plant. The whole point I to organics is the breakdown. IMHO flushing is to make the plant use as much of its self as possible so your not smoking lots of plant stored energy. Just her sweet resin which she doesn't burn up when your run her on no nutrients. :smokebuds:

I think bioCanna is the organic line chickengrower.

That's it, a very stoned but knowledgeable plant chemist once explained it like this,
To get the best tasting smoothest buds a cannabis plant must pack as many nutrients into its buds in its final few days as it can.
We could feed them those nutrients they need but only the plant knows exactly which nutrients and in which concentrations it needs them.
By flushing the plants for at least 10 days prior to harvest we force the plant to suck those required nutrients from its own leaves and stems in just the right amounts and we do not upset the balance by overdosing the plant with certain nutrients it does not require.

if it's in the grow medium it is in the plant. and flushing has two purposes, one get rid of salt's and nute's, the other is as mallo stated, to use the stored
nute's from the plant itself. to finish up.:smokebuds:flus is the way to go![video=youtube;StmbrLfGC-8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StmbrLfGC-8[/video]:
