Flushing

[Bisky]

Here is my first indoor grow. Been going great and learning lots as i am going but im getting close to flushing the plants. Just want to know when exactly i should do this and what the bud is supposed to look like when i do for optimal taste/yield/quality.

Thanks in advance!

Advice I got from a professional is 3 weeks water with 0.3 e.c of calcium and ph to 5.8.

You want to dump loads of water through the first time. So if you have a 5 gallon pot then 10 gallons of water.

This part is important, you need a good amount to water to pull excess nutrients from the medium. If you don't have 3 weeks then just give it as long as you've got.

Every sucessive watering give a good amount, you want to see air bubbles. Pour water in, then top it up so there's more pressure pulling through the medium.

People that say you don't need to flush must have never smoked sweet, clean weed.

Also for knowing when the plant is actually ready you will need a pocket 60x magnifier.

When you look at the buds you can see what the crystals look like, they all want to be milky/amber. If you see many transparent then she isn't ready!
