im not sure what forum this belonged in.

my question is how do u flush a plant from start to finish i have never even heard of this and niether has a friend of mine that has been growing for over 20 years and they know waht they are doing?

Flushing the medium simply means getting rid of nutrient salts or nutrients.

We flush at harvest for better tastes...We flush when we burn plants to get rid of nutrients.

All you really do is dump a lot of water through the soil. Some say use twice the amount of soil, some say 3 times the amount. Just use a lot.

ok but that doesnt explain it really how do u do it. u just water it a shit load everday for how long or what.what do u mean use twice the amount of soil. ur suppose to put more soil in it to flush?

Use twice as much water as soil. So if you have a 5 gallon pot, dump 10 plus gallons of water through it.

Flushing shouldnt need to be done unless youve over fed or are getting ready for harvest. You dont want to water everyday. Not at all. Let it dry out as normal. Most people preffer flushing the last 2 weeks of flowering.

so since obviously if i poor 10 gallons of water into a five gallon bucket its going to overflow. to flush i just fill ten gallons up sit with my plant and just keep pooring water in and letting it run through untill i have put 10 gallons through.

stoney-trees

Well of course dont dump it in 10 seconds. Dump some, let it drain...Dump some...Drain...

Its ok to flood the soil a bit. Wont hurt nothing. Id suggest bringing a bong along as it can take a while to water and wait. lol

lildevilpunk

lol okay thanks that sums it up for me on how to flush

if you hold your head under the water for a few minutes; you will see the bubbles slowly dissapear. lol nigel
