Flushing

[BlazeAllDay]

i just started week 8 of flower and wanted some other opinions on flushing im using Advanced Flush. Im in 5gal soil should i use flush in my water from here out to the end every day or every other day? any advice would be appreciated

What nutes are you using?
If synthetic, flush once or twice. Start at half-strength, see if it harms your plants. Couple of days later, hit full strength.
I would advise molasses and water for the rest of the time until chop. Rec. 1 tsp. per gal.

I have no experience with Advanced Flush, just my advice. FWIW.

Good luck.

i used some botanicare flush stuff once, hated it..... since then ive stuck to water. molasses seems like a nice addition too... i like a real good flush so i go 2 weeks

thanks guys what does the molasses do for the plants? ive always wondered, and i hope it isnt a stupid question!

There are no stupid questions.

It acts as a food source for microbes in organic soil. It is also a chelating agent that helps plants uptake nutes.

I'm sure it has many other benefits as well.

Works well during all stages of growth. Very cheap.
Try to get the unsulphered. You can purchase it in grocery stores.

^ I use that same molasses when I can find it...I was at the grocery store the other day and they had a shopping cart full on clearout for 1.99...I got pretty much all of them hahaha. It's amazing for teas and the best flushing molasses I've used. Perfect flavors and adds noticeable weight.

what grocery store? if its a chain they might be discontinuing it. if so all the stores should have it on clearance. and ill pick that up all day, its like 6.99 regular.
