    I made mistakes last time so when should I be looking to start a flush before chop? Cple of amber trichs so it's a ways off yet, want it to be strong. Do you wait til the trichs are the colour you want then flush for cple wks?

    If you already have cloudy going on amber keep a close eye, Ive had some plants take nearly a fortnight to go amber from cloudy and I've also them change to couch lock full amber over a short few days
    In soil feeding organically I can just feed water for the last week but coco I gather takes much longer to flush

    There was a new study in America recently that tested flushing and concluded it makes little to no difference. Its just an extension of the plant being overfed in the first place if there are spare nutrients. All those minerals are still present in the flower after flushing, yet some people swear by it.

    Didn't want to muddy the waters but make of it what you will

    I think the main reason for flushing is just to wash out all the chemicals you put into the soil, so when you use it again, you can fell it with organic's and start with fresh soil. Val know much more about this than I do, but have read some on it.

    Seen a few references on it. I think placebo takes over when people say it tastes better.

    Old myths do die hard though

    I never flush anymore, nooo difference whatsoever. I do add pure water to my tank for the last week just because they don't need such a high ec.
    I feed at 1.8 ec all in and it probably goes down to 1.0 - 1.2 just before they come down.

    With growing closly to organically as I can get I do cut out the molasses for the final two weeks
    Probably had nothing do with it but I fed the molasses up to chop week once and when It was dried and cured each smoke was unpleasant and ended in a coughing fit
