    Fade out those leaves 🍁 flush those babies.i use a bone meal prior to flush to unlock saltsPh to 6.2 and flush with Bine meal then clean un chlorinated water.flush until the water doesn’t stink like sulfur or runs clean



  2. @heavymetalpatriot6767 on June 11, 2024 at 11:51 am

    I would say no you don’t want to "super flush" but feed ph’d water last 10 days or so



  3. @davidm4677 on June 11, 2024 at 11:52 am

    Flash just use clean water 1-2 weeks before harvest you will save nutrients and get good tasting bud.If plants has nice green leaves two weeks before fully mature it doesn’t need any more nutrients they got stored plenty in the plant.

    I always purge my weed in 180 degree water, and pour off the dark orange water down the drain, before I soxhlet the oil out, and I notice my pee is dark n unpurged weed, but normal color on purged weed of all water solubles, and the oil is far less coughy when dabbed…:-)

    Ignore the comments and grow to the best you can to the area you’re in. Some of y’all be acting like gatekeepers over something that grows out in the wild and gets pissed on by animals.

    Is grow dots good for Hydroponics?



  7. @Randy-rd9zb on June 11, 2024 at 11:58 am

    Lmao. Yes just feed the day before you harvest too. Enjoy weed that tastes like fireworks. People are DERRRRRRRR. I swear.



  8. @BigBerias on June 11, 2024 at 11:58 am

    of course cannabis is different than peppers and strawberries. You don’t eat the buds, you smoke em. I’ve never seen anyone smoke a strawberry… Badly flushed cannabis is very harsh in your throat, if you would eat it i dont think you would taste or feel a difference lol



  9. @QuickStartGuide on June 11, 2024 at 11:59 am

    Grow dots are terrible



  10. @Androbott on June 11, 2024 at 12:00 pm

    mito, si le cortas el los nutrientes en la semana 6 o 7 la planta va usar todas sus reservas y no va haber diferencia en el sabor pero eso no es flush, es simplemente q la planta coma todo lo q tiene disponible



  11. @That.Grumpy.Scotsman on June 11, 2024 at 12:01 pm

    can i use growdot without any nutrients? or do i still need to add to it?



  12. @Xziznoel on June 11, 2024 at 12:04 pm

    He is organic grower he can get around it but i would still flush simply because the small amount of stress from the nut withdraw will push on trichomes There has been made so many test on it and they all agree on the benefits from it and i concur 😀



  13. @LS-vo7hc on June 11, 2024 at 12:08 pm

    Ive been growing since the late 70’s My medium of choice is rockwool, and I’ve tried them all. I flush the final 10 days before harvest and the result is sweet delicious white ash perfection. Haven’t grown in the last 4 or 5 years so not up to date on the latest nutes and such though so I may have something new to learn.



  14. @DavidPriller on June 11, 2024 at 12:08 pm

    As long as you have plenty of fan leafs you can just give water towards the end and let the plant feed on itself which is the perfect nutrient for that specific plant



  15. @terrytwotoes3225 on June 11, 2024 at 12:11 pm

    Grow dots seem way to good to be true



  16. @OdintheBully on June 11, 2024 at 12:13 pm

    Sure don’t flush , but it won’t burn and it won’t sell.



  17. @douglassherrill4685 on June 11, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Lmfao do u know what ur talking u just contradicted urself



  18. @DMP413 on June 11, 2024 at 12:16 pm

    Do grow dots put less nitrogen in the soil at the end of flower?



  19. @GANJA547 on June 11, 2024 at 12:16 pm

    Always flush no chemical bud smoking here



  20. @ploed on June 11, 2024 at 12:17 pm

    My Compo Organic Grow liquid fertilizer says: "2 weeks before harvest, stop using fertilizer".



  21. @kisertherednose on June 11, 2024 at 12:18 pm

    Bro stfu stop flushing ur plants so what we should just smoke a harsh chemical tasting joint.

    Tell me you never grown without telling me you’ve actually never grown



  22. @GANJA547 on June 11, 2024 at 12:18 pm

    Always will flush

  24. @pathreeseowneel376 on June 11, 2024 at 12:18 pm

    I personally flush but only to save on nutes and prepare my media for the next run.



  25. @rswayne100 on June 11, 2024 at 12:18 pm

    Rx Green Technologies did a study on flushing. Participants of the study didn’t prefer plants that were flushed. If fact, they could really tell no difference and actually preferred the un-flushed plants when forced to pick the “smoothest” tasting plants.



  26. @patrickbeaston3659 on June 11, 2024 at 12:20 pm

    YouTube is a wild ride for growing tips. "You must do this!" followed by "Stop doing that!"



  27. @howardsmith7950 on June 11, 2024 at 12:20 pm

    You are not smoking your tomatoes or green beans 50 years of growing hmm flushing is ok if you don’t you don’t



  28. @davidfurino2987 on June 11, 2024 at 12:21 pm

    I flush my plants with molasses in water they love it,aloha



  29. @outdafractured5603 on June 11, 2024 at 12:22 pm

    Trump can’t afford to campaign because he needs all the campaign money for his lawyers to present BS arguments to the courts in an effort to delay the trials. *Innocent people don’t spend $100 million delaying trials.* That much money buys a whole lot of evidence to prove innocence if it exists.



  30. @kokeskokeskokes on June 11, 2024 at 12:23 pm

    I make my own liquid fertlizer. I can produce large quantities effortlessly and I could even produce exactly the nutes on demand if I force myself to change my diet accordingly, which I don’t. I just use my liquid gold as it comes, only storing it for a few months, allowing it to ferment. It stinks a little and I don’t care, my house is large and most rooms are unoccupied. I must dillute it considerably, after which it doesn’t smell all that bad. I don’t flush it out, it is mine, I don’t sell, I don’t share, I don’t care.



  31. @listerinestrips1156 on June 11, 2024 at 12:24 pm

    I believe you should flush. One time i hurriedly harvested a plant and made edibles with it. I could feel the bottled nutrient ingredients in my body after eating. It felt dirty



  32. @branjosnow6244 on June 11, 2024 at 12:24 pm

    I have 2 grows under my belt. 1st one was with nutrients, 2nd one was organic.

    1st tasted horrible smoking it, I underfed it, flushing just didn’t work for me at all. Tasted rank if I’m honest, really strong weed though.

    2nd tastes good and smooth, a lot smaller, slightly less yield, but I got some quality weed out of it.

    I’m sticking with organic grows, everything is so much easier for beginners with organics. I try to eat organic when I can, so I should be smoking organic when I can too.

    But one thing is apparent throughout my experience.

    I LOVE GROWING CANNABIS! 💚



  33. @mightymite3958 on June 11, 2024 at 12:25 pm

    Use only organic ferts then flush with only water, no chemicals or any BS ppl try to use. Its really quite simple



  34. @user-ki5le3np3p on June 11, 2024 at 12:27 pm

    Stop smoking its a loser drug that draga you down



  35. @envidiaff8485 on June 11, 2024 at 12:28 pm

    Flushing makes the plant lose its flavour



  36. @rylewmma553 on June 11, 2024 at 12:28 pm

    It’s more of a fast than a flush



  37. @barryuppman9212 on June 11, 2024 at 12:33 pm

    Within 2 seconds FLUSH IT FFS



  38. @ronhively8826 on June 11, 2024 at 12:34 pm

    I have experiment for you and all of your intelligent viewers. Take a small flower from the lower part of your plants. Put it on a paper towel in the microwave,wet and fresh, run it for 35 to 45 seconds depending on size. All the heavy metals and forever chemicals in the flowers will show themselves by arcing and smell when done. You decide for yourselves what’s important. Your health or whatever , just watch what you use and always keep in mind some of what we do,can’t be undone… Rock you all.



  39. @tjsylvia285 on June 11, 2024 at 12:35 pm

    Do you need more Grow Dots when growing outside vs indoor?

  41. @GettheFouttahere74 on June 11, 2024 at 12:38 pm

    There’s nothing wrong with flushing.. as long as it’s a ripen solution, it tells the plant that it’s at the end of its cycle.



  42. @ericaman5393 on June 11, 2024 at 12:38 pm

    And on the 7th day God said, let all my wild cannabis plants be flushed by the rain….. Shit taste is usually because it takes about 30 days for chlorophyll to break down in your dried buds. I never flush (Im also only feeding 1000ppm in my reservoir) but I ALWAYS cure 3 weeks minimum after 1 wk drying and smokes smooth and white ash.



  43. @matprang4508 on June 11, 2024 at 12:38 pm

    There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t flush it doesn’t hurt the plant in the last two weeks of flower.
    That being said tapering your nutrients up towards flower from vegetation from start and then tapering it down towards late flower is the way to go as far as I’m concerned if you’re using synthetic nutrients.
    If you’re using all organic or veganic nutrients it’s kind of hard to do that because there’s no real measurement going on your top dressing and what not with different amendments.
    That being said there’s a lot of organic growers saying they don’t have to flush tapering your nutrients down towards the end of the life cycle for cannabis will make it taste better as far as I’m concerned I’ve done this I’ve run hydro and dirt and I always flush certainly doesn’t cost me any money because I’m only using RO water I don’t notice any significant difference in yield but I do notice a significant difference in terpene production and quality.
    That’s only one part of the puzzle though light cycles and light strength is super important especially when you’re getting down to the final week or two of flowering One would think you would need more light that is incorrect You’re going to do more harm than good and lose those good turps.
    I like to add a little bit of blue or reintroduce it at the end of flower I feel this again helps terpene production and preserves it.
    That being said anyone that’s growing any type of plant can do what they want with it it’s their plant and they’re the ones growing it do what you want to All I know is my cannabis always burns bright white ash it is not harsh and the terpenes are always there especially when handled properly when drying and curing and then after that keeping it in jars at the right temperature with no light.

    … any retailer in Germany?



  45. @GANJA547 on June 11, 2024 at 12:43 pm

    Your smoking weed not eating it.If you don’t know about PGRs .Which can be hidden in bites.Flush those girls.



  46. @hippiefarmer6728 on June 11, 2024 at 12:44 pm

    If you can’t tell any difference between the flushed flower and non flushed flower you grow then i feel for ya lol Been growing 30 years and nothing can convince me that unflushed flower can be " as good". no way.



  47. @samlipsit517 on June 11, 2024 at 12:46 pm

    I do not always flush. This time I did , used an Organic 3 part and recharge…had to flush at day 56 as they were not fading like I would have liked. Water only for the last 2 weeks.
    PPMS were 1000, knocked it down to 100…
    I do not keep track of my par levels or runoff , basically read the plant.
    It’s summer where I am and was going to run autos, maybe run the DOTS this time.
    Any discount codes would be awesome !
    Cheers …
