When to Flush

[hydrodude]

Hey guys i am soon coming to the point of flushing !!! I know the lenghth of time that 2 of my strains are supposed to mature at but i dont hava clue as to the other 2..... And i used superbud on the plants.. I have been told this will speed up the maturation rate by about a week......

 

 

Tonight i found a couple dead pistals theres only about 2 on each plant.....

 

 

So i would really like to hear all urr opinions on when to flush and for how long on both a recirculating sys and a DWC sys :-)

 

 

THANX ALL!!!

Recirculation....when 25% of your pistils have gone brown start flushing them...when 75% are brown time to pick em.......

 

Try to flush for about 2 weeks....so probably about 2 weeks from the end of the plant cycle

 

DWC no idea....

Thanx mate WIll the buds continue to develop with no nutes?

[Guest Field_of_Light]

Nimer you know that with Sb you get a massive explosion of growth then they start to go brown then a week later you get another massive explosion?

 

Damn I should have added that to my FAQ at planetskunk

Great news man never knew of that aspect! I cant wait....

 

u think this will come in at 5 or 6 weeks?

[Guest Field_of_Light]

Strain dependant...6 weeks is the earliest I ahve seen any strain come in with SB.....

 

Your SB second explosion usually happens in the last 3 weeks from harvest....Im not too sure if you should keep adding nutes...but to be safe add it till about the last week before harvest...one weeks flushing will be ok....

I've read that you don't have to flush as long with bubblers. 1 week flush in a bubbler = 2 weeks flush in a medium based system. That being said I'm still going to flush for 2 weeks in my bubbler.

use something like final rinse, to flush the plant for 2 weeks.

or go organic
