If you monitor their water uptake, you will see a drop in later flower, thatā€™s where I switch.

A drop in water in take than flush I donā€™t really understand can u explain it a lil better please

I have a pretty scientific way to determine weather or not i flush and when to flush. In fact there is a nice little rhyme that even the nenoā€™s can learn it goes
ā€œIf its yellow, let it mello,
If its brown, flush it downā€

Hope this helps!

I think what @Gpaw was saying is there is a significant drop in water uptake at the end of floweringā€¦ its at that time they water only (flush) till chop

Sorry for the delay, but Terpsi has it. :arrow_heading_up:
When the water intake drops, the plants are basically just about done. I stop any extra inputs (e.g. nutes, teas etc.) and water only.

Just straight water for the last couple weeks, nothing dramatic.

I accidentally did a large flush last year when a new watering system had a ā€˜malfunctionā€™ while I was awayā€¦
That was in late veg. thoughā€¦
Once I got the poor plants mostly dried out I had to remedy the missing nutrients quicklyā€¦

ā€¦you can ā€˜hurt their feelingsā€™ but they are quick to forgiveā€¦
ā€¦usuallyā€¦ :wink:

Wow! 1100 PPM on the first 5 Gallons thruā€¦ :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
ā€¦thatā€™s a lot of saltsā€¦ Iā€™ve often wondered what lengths you might have to go through to flush your growing mediums in order to recycle.

Most of the folks running Coco Coir are ā€˜one and doneā€™ā€¦ new batch every time. Same for most Promix folks as well.
Iā€™m running a KIS mix super soil, so one trip through the big worm bin and a little remediation and itā€™s good to go (again).

That first jug, maybe two jugs he pulled off are probably good for the vegetable patchā€¦
The amount of water he is running through is shocking but the PPM numbers certainly support his approach.

Thanks for the tip
