Gorilla zkittles auto when you think about flushing

[Cheddar1991]

Hi this is my first grow along with others but the first that's budding.
Does it look healthy and is it ok for first time? It said 63/75 days
It's day 51 from when the seed first made it out of soil. When would you guys say to start flushing? Bit hard to work out how far I've got from here?
Thanks everyone

Looks good and healthy! Dont flush, just reduce the amount you feed, and feed til finish, she has a long ways to go still before you need to worry about that though.

I haven't grown autos but I don't believe when it comes to flushing that auto/photo-period matters. Flushing is not needed in a well-tuned grow. In fact, flushing could cause issues in finishing if you flush the nutrients out. You will want to diminish your feed. You will want to move away from high nitrogen based ferts as your flowers cluster ... but they still need nutrition right up to the day they are harvested.

When to flush? - Only when there's obvious signs of nutrient toxicity/over-feeding and in an attempt to clear nutrient salts from the soil.

When not to flush? - At the finish line. If your grow was dialed in from start to finish, you can switch to plain water towards the end ... but don't flood the plants in an attempt to drive out the nutrients. If you do, there's a strong chance you'll delay your finish.

What does this mean? There's a difference between watering with plain water and flushing. Go ahead and water normally but don't try to flush out nutes.
