What size container and how much water did you "flush" it with?

No need to flush anything but the toilet or salt build ups.
Flushing is 100% pointless broscience.

Cut out any and all Nitrogen, thats whats causing the clawed leaves you are calling droopy leaves lol.

I was under the assumption that you need to flush them there last 2 weeks to remove excess fertilizer

5 gal

5 gal

5 gal pot, and about 2 gals water

A flush would be 3x the pot size. So you would've needed to give 15 gallons of plain water for a proper flush.
So just drop all the nitrogen you can out of your feed and start to taper back, looks close to the finish line now anyways.
How many weeks in flower is it?

This is broscience.
You can not remove nutrients from the plants tissues. It just doesnt work that way.


The way i look at this is, no other crops are starved 2 or 3 weeks before harvest. Nor is ANYTHING else in nature.

I tell everyone this.
W you knew your pet only had 2 weeks to live, would you stop feeding it? No, youd feed it what it needed until its last breath!!

All this crap about flushing at harvest needs to be erased from all of the internet and books

Just stop feeding your plants a few weeks before harvest. They'll use most of what's left. Adding about a tablespoon per gallon of unsulfured molasses to the water gives the plant sugars to keep it going. The idea here is reducing nutrients improves the flavor. In my experience, that's true.

That's what I thought the flushing was for.
