How to Flush Cannabis Plants

Flushing nutrients from cannabis plants before harvest is a process that involves removing excess nutrients from the plants to help improve the taste and quality of the final product. Here are some general steps to follow when flushing nutrients from cannabis plants:

  1. Determine when to flush: The best time to flush your cannabis plants will depend on the specific nutrients you are using and the stage of growth that your plants are in. In general, it is best to flush your plants during the last two weeks of the flowering stage.
  2. Switch to a pure water solution: To flush the nutrients from your plants, switch to a pure water solution for the last week or two of the flowering stage. This will help to remove excess nutrients from the plants and allow them to use up any remaining nutrients in their system.
  3. Monitor the plants closely: During the flushing process, it is important to monitor your plants closely for any signs of stress or nutrient deficiency. If your plants show any signs of distress, consider adjusting the pH of the water or adding a small amount of a mild nutrient solution to help them recover.
  4. Flush thoroughly: Make sure to flush your plants thoroughly, watering them generously to help remove any remaining nutrients from the soil or growing media. This can help to improve the taste and quality of the final product.

By following these steps, you should be able to properly flush the nutrients from your cannabis plants before harvest.

If you don't flush your cannabis plants, there may be excess nutrients left in the plants and growing media, which can affect the taste and quality of the final product. When nutrients are not properly flushed out, they can create harsh, unpleasant flavors and aromas that can make the cannabis less enjoyable to consume.
