    Go by the trichomes, not the pistles. You'll need a decent magnifying glass for this....

    We talking flush flush or cut nutes flush? I think the word gets confused.

    Okay. 2 schools of thought.

    1. Flushing - running 3x the volume of your pot of tap water through your pot to leach all nutrients out of the medium.

    2. Flushing - stop feeding the plant at the end of the lifecycle and only feed tap water (or reduced EC) so the plant uses up all the nutrients in the medium before pulling on its leaves.

    Some folks consider Number 1 to be flushing. Some people consider Number 2 to be flushing. Some folks consider both... That's why I asked.

    Cheers

    Very good! I'd love to see the plant in question but typically I'll start dropping EC to 0 at about 10-14 days out. This is in coco mind you. Thus the taper.

    Cheers.

    I grow in soil and I flush 4 weeks in and then nothing but water when trichomes start to turn amber.
    That's just to remove the nutes from the plant
