Lex do you have any option on salt stressing your plants to induce higher potency and flavor.
Flushing isn't really even a thing. If you stop feeding when flower growth has started to decline like you're supposed to you can stop calling it flushing and call it what it is… Watering.
Flushing aids are complete bullshit. Once something is in your plant you're not going to get it back out and it'll either naturally degrade in the time before you set alight to it or it won't. Adding things to the roots won't do shit as very little if anything can be drawn out that way. What little can be pulled out will come from the roots not the buds because water flow is upwards not downwards. Flushing aids are inevitably sold by the same people who sell overpriced tomato feed with a cannabis leaf or the word "Dutch" on the label and then encourage people to use way too much of it. Over-feeding causes bad tasting weed (amongst other things) so the answer is of course… Don't over feed.
Underfeeding is easy to spot and easy to correct in the space of a few days. Overfeeding is harder to spot and by the time you do spot it the damage is done and you've buggered up your grow.
OMFG I've watched 10 different fucking videos just to try to figure out HOW to flush a plant and THANK YOU for putting it so simple!!! Without even showing it, even!!!
Sup Lex I'm a subscriber & big fan, I just had a question about Flushing is there such a thing as over Flushing what happens when you flush it for too long does the plant loses its potency???
Ah good man not a fucking salesmen like some of the others trying to feed you bullshit that you should add these nutes to your plant while flushing blah blah buy them make me my money…
Very educational as always buddy am at tht stage at moment buddy n a ushally do a 14days plus flush a jst cutt ma canna nuts off abt going on 7th wk and jst ph water till dne buddy ill put a canna flushing agent in at last few majour flush buddy✌✌✌💚
I had 3 different strains this harvest, by chance. I fed them the same amount of nutrients, watered the same time etc and flushed with florakleen.. two of the strains tastes really good, but the lemon haze tastes awful. I'm wondering if some strains don't use certain nutrients well, or not processed at the same rate? I think the trick is to work with the strains you have and try to perfect it. Work within the guidelines, but take note on how they respond and work with it. Also, I can't find bud as good as I can grow, Lex. It's 100% because of this channel.
ps. B-Real was impressed with vancouver bud at the 420. Way to make us proud
Hey lex could you please be a lil more specific with the flushing process. Do we water plants as normal (when theyre dry) but with say 40, 50 litres of water each flush? And do we repeat that process throughout the week/2 week period? Cheers dude a reply would be much appreciated!!
Hi, Lex, I need some good solid advise…. so I come to you! I'm growing for the 1st time! I have 2 Auto Flowers which are about 25 days old.. I've been using the VEG light switch on my 600W LED at 32". My LED has 2 switches a VEG & a BLOOM….. with Auto's can I run both from START to the END ? I run the light 18/6. Today as stated I turned on the BLOOM switch. Please let me know what you think. I was thinking being a Auto Flower (both switches on, start to finish). Please let me know. Keep the quality Videos and Info coming.
i disagree with your days i believe you need 10 days min with soil as the medium usually locks away more nutrients then say coco with hydro 10 days max as will lose Turpinens and weed will taste plain 7 days absolute min but each to there own

That last bit was golden.
Last 48 hours prior to cut.
Do not water.
Remember that one kids.
What is a good water temperature when doing final flush ?
thx lex very helpful
Is bud washing just as good as flushing the plants
Boss. How many times a week do u flush?
If I am using DWC with air stone and pump, should I deprive the plant completely from water the last two days before harvest or?! Thanks.
Do you think tap water during flushing will harm them ?
With flushing hydro how much time should i increase the water pump to i had it setup for 10 min on and 60 off with an air pump running 24/7
Do you flush living soil?
Nice video my man thanks if you a begginger tip I'll be tube
What’s “pure water”? RO water?
Wat if I been feeding nothing but water for a week and leaves are faded already how many days do I run clean water thru
can i flush with 200ppm water?
my real gs will know about that white ash
Great info! Cheers

Bleach doesn't work good trust me
would this not be because of curing also?
I give my cannabis plants molasses twice a month during veg. A little it more during flowering. So you say not to give molasses until flower why bro.
Myth…
My plants got watered yesterday but I wanna flush them today is that ok or should I wait

What about if ur growing organically you still need to flush your plants ? I.e. no chemical nutes being used … still should flush?
HELP. I think I " drowned my seeds when I put them in a cup of water for 3 days .
Does not need to be PH corrected. Just hammer it with low ppm tap water, and you'll be fine.

14 – 20 days of R.O. Water. Tried and tested !
Does anyone know if beneficial microbes help with flushing?
What PH levels should I look for?
Oh boy I’d kill my best friend to have you as one. 😀
