That is considered flushing or leaching when you feed water only.“Flushing” with hydro I would recommend, but not with soil.
I don’t even know why I’m getting into this.
Giving your soil or coco plants just water (without a bunch of runoff, just a c hair) is not flushing. That is fading
I might add that not many people grow in soil, peat mixes and coco are soil-less like hydro.“Flushing” with hydro I would recommend, but not with soil.

Gonna respectfully disagree with you there as far as semantics go. It’s just not flushing.. it’s not.That is considered flushing or leaching when you feed water only.
I knew someone would call that. Haha. Yes peat mixes and coco are not soil. You win lolI might add that not many people grow in soil, peat mixes and coco are soil-less like hydro.
Fed Plain water last feeding, other than that they've had at least 200 ppm of nutrients every feed.I’d love to see some pics of y’alls plants fed til chop:)
Very nice. Bet it burns super clean by the looks of them.Fed Plain water last feeding, other than that they've had at least 200 ppm of nutrients every feed.View attachment 851094 View attachment 851095
I flush for the simple reason of removing as much chlorophyll from flower. I personally do not like harshness of flowers that have not had most chlorophyll removed.

How exactly does this work scientifically? How does one leach chlorophyll by watering/flushing their plant?......
And the face made when taking a hit of it. Don’t forget that.I’d love to see some pics of y’alls plants fed til chop:)
Haha good stuff.And the face made when taking a hit of it. Don’t forget that.
I think. I’m no pro but I think you leach the nutesHow exactly does this work scientifically? How does one leach chlorophyll by watering/flushing their plant?......
Yeah it’ll move it to flowers where it’ll get used upWhy would starving the plants leaves help “clean” the buds of chlorophyl? The plant will move the needed nutrients from the leaves right to the growing flowers. The bud leaves fade last.
Bro, drying and curing is for removing chlorophyll from the buds. Until they are alive they need those nutrients for making THC and big buds. They will get it from the nutrients you give them or from the fan leaves. I believe the second is harder on them and they do less well.I think. I’m no pro but I think you leach the nutes
Then without the nutes the plant can’t produce the chlorophyll it was. then by continuing on during lights on time that chlorophyll is needed for photosynthesis to continue growth. And slowly depleted. At least that’s how I add it up.
Ending in a plant with less stored chlorophyll and nutrients and a cleaner bud. Some things also break down during the dry stage. Remember plant or branch ain’t dead when you cut it it still tries to live.
I think n and chlorophyll run together too. Explains higher n demands in rapid growth.like veg and switch to bloom. More photosynthesis going on. Late bloom less photosynthesis not using nitrogen So have to cut it back or start seeing dark green ( n tox) from the stored n not being used up before it’s refilled.
On subject though Nute companies directions will have you spend extra money.
There is no reason a plant should get the same feed the last week of flower that it gets last week of veg. Then comes the need to use chelates or flushing agents to leach the unused crap from the medium. Then the 2 weeks water is for the plant to use up what’s stored in it continuing photosynthesis to live. Period. Common sense.
Hydro obviously a res swap week or so before harvest will do the same thing. Harder to strip soil than dump water out n use clean.
Again no pro n I could be wrong but
Seems like it just makes sense to me
Yeah I believe the second is how you end up with cleaner bud n that little stress just boosts your thc. But I’m no scientist. Just my opinion.Bro, drying and curing is for removing chlorophyll from the buds. Until they are alive they need those nutrients for making THC and big buds. They will get it from the nutrients you give them or from the fan leaves. I believe the second is harder on them and they do less well.
