When to flush??

Post by grownnotflown420 »

Morning gr420,

My dwc baby is close to finishing, I think...

Water pH at current is 6.2 and ppm is about 700 (water change due in a couple days)

Here's some pics, just wondering when I should consider flushing?

Wicked bro, so flush once the trichs are at the point I like them?

How long you recon for the flush? I know some people say a few days and some say a week?

I have done 2 week flush I'm soil but idk ... i just find it may starve the plant when it's at its peak I guess you could go to a week but I also think it depends on the nutrients your using as well I think organic you could probably go right to the end and hydro I am not sure of because I have never done that

Cool man appreciate it bro.

Will aim for a few days but keep an eye on it, think I have another week or so before needing to flush anyway

I wouldn't personally sweat it on what I am finding atm.

So I have a Haze which is naturally taking longer, stated 9 to 11 weeks. I also have a White Widow stated 8 to 10 weeks.

I thought the White Widow was done earlier so I started flushing and was planning to chop but didnt have a place to dry so I thought Id choo at the same time as the Haze.

Im into the 3rd week of just water now and barely much of the leaves have gone yellow. The buds are still nice and swelling up. Triches are cloudy so its almost ready. A few ambers were on leaves hence I started initially flushing but they haven't progressed a lot and they are still cloudy with some clear.

The Haze has just started second week of watering as I had a planned chop date, but I've not decided to let it ripen rather than pull early. A bit of a mish mash but no detrimental effects so far. :idn: we will see

Both biobizz grow and bloom nutes and lightmix with a but of allmix.

I'm on week 11 flower right now.
