Alr i mean i got a bit of buildup so i could perhaps just start cutting down on my nutes?I've never done it, so I don't know if there is a specifically right time. If I were to do it, there would have to be a reason other than the passage of time, like a nutrient issue.
Im using canna terra nutes they are synthetic Chelated immediately available to the plantI start about a week before the harvest, you can use a ppm meter and test your run-off should be close to 0 then you can harvest. This was our SOP when I was growing commercially. It depends on what kind of nutes you're using but I could taste the difference when smoking it if we didn't flush it all the way. When we did it was way smoother not as harsh.
Should be a good process then like someone else said, some people think it doesn't do anything, but personally I can taste when a plant wasn't flushed and it usually is a bit harsher on the throat. And especially since you're smoking it you'd be smoking whatever is left over in the plant.Im using canna terra nutes they are synthetic Chelated immediately available to the plant
And i measure runoff PH and EC every watering to see whats up in the pot
Iguess the excess chlorophyll doesnt exit the plant it might taste a little differentShould be a good process then like someone else said, some people think it doesn't do anything, but personally I can taste when a plant wasn't flushed and it usually is a bit harsher on the throat.

Very true like I said ultimately depends on the nutes you use. If you're using all organic nutes and flavored teas during flowering to increase flavor then definitely less on the flushing to retain some of that sweetness. But in my opinion most of the synthetic stuff taste like garbage when smoked in comparison.Iguess the excess chlorophyll doesnt exit the plant it might taste a little different
like you probably know
Water without minerals taste like shit
Minerals do taste theyre in the cannabis might not be everyone tasting them but iguess there many factors at play
Never really did a side by side but thats for a future projectVery true like I said ultimately depends on the nutes you use.

That's what I do. Sorry I forgot to mention it. I top dress dry nutrients and apply the last feeding about four weeks before I estimate harvesting. I do believe nutrients can affect taste and flavor. Letting the plant reduce them makes sense to me.Alr i mean i got a bit of buildup so i could perhaps just start cutting down on my nutes?

Before I comment, when you say you were "flushing" are you talking about going straight from your normal bloom recipe to straight water or are you tapering down the PPM's in the solution until you get to straight water"?I start about a week before the harvest, you can use a ppm meter and test your run-off should be close to 0 then you can harvest.

This^^^Flushing removes the npk from the soil it doesn’t remove it from the plants
The Excess chlorophyll dissipates with a cure.
I call it "Tapering"This^^^
you cannot flush the "excess" nutes from the plant, it doesn't work how bro science has many people believing it does..
the real question would be if you fed your plant properly why would it have an excess of nutes?
if you believe there is an excess of nutes in your plant, why?
I notice many people confuse how some growers start cutting back how much they feed on the later weeks for flushing but it's not the case. cutting back is just to save some money as the plant begins needing less.
flushing is for toilets
some noob is gonna take your darkness statement and think you mean lights 24/7 lolflushing and darkness is bullshit
