Need to flush with organics? - Organic Soil - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Well I am only at day 20 of flower for my white widow and ice but I'd like to get the info now rather than later. Do I need to flush if I am using organic nutes, I think the answer is yes wether it is chemical or organic you need to flush? So when do I flush, last 2 weeks?

Depends how smooth tasting you want your smoke. But yeah, the last two weeks is when I flush my ladies.

heja T im growing only organic and as i changed from AdvancedHydroponics i asked myself and i tryed when the best between production and flavor is.Just flush ya pots the last 7-10 days and all nute residues will be washed out.Just be sure your growing organic without mineral or biological nute addidives, the more things added the longer they need to get flushed properly and mineral nutes harm the taste/smell

All I used through the grow was PBP and PBPB and LK. So give her a flush 7-10 days before I harvest. When you flush what is it a gallon of water per gallon of soil? I assume after this soaking it will be it's last watering then. I am just rambling now, thanks guys.

The PBPro is NOT organic, it conatins a hydroponic component that DOES need to be flushed, the regular PB is organic.
With that recipe I would fed flush for 10 days.
A 100% organic grow does not need to be flushed, flush what? the bacteria will keep breaking solid sources down and feeding the plant in a gradual way.

I would guess that if you used Fish Emulsion (which I believe is organic?) you could flush the fishy smell out.

Not to mention the higher heavy metal content found in fish emulsions. Fish are known to absorb heavy metals. I'm planning on just water for the last two weeks for my LSD. I would consider that "flushing" enough.

So to answer your qvestion, I wouldn't literally flush them, but I would stop feeding like JJ said.

happy Growin

lol flush the fishy smell out.
Reminds me of 70s_pothead's comment the other day who was joking about the origins of weed smell.
The skunk got its smell from skunks passing by and the pinesmell was from growing in pinewoods.

NO, No and another big fat NO.

Agreed, imo the stinkier the fert the better the buds smell like buds. Im also with JJ and since Im 99% organic I havent found the need to flush. When I used chems I would routinely flush.
