Live Stoners First ever real grow when should I start flush

[TaTHC]

Hey I got this electric fruit auto ..it's about to finish it's 9th week it's an 8-9 week strain so I was gonna give one feed of mollasses only then just water for the next week or 2.what do yall think..it's hard checking with microscope I got a shaky hand

Some says flushing or cleansing (just water fed till chop) is contraproductive and does not improve taste or whatever.

Personally I do not flush. I believe that starving the plant to death at one of the most critical times does nothing good.

Welcome to AFN my friend, I am not a flusher, but many are......The jury is out on this one..........eP.

Well I know I have alot of build up because I never water with more then 2gallons of water with nutes and 1gallon when im not ...so I was thinking slowly flushing with coconut water and molasses next water or 2 then the last week just water. ..a gallon every other day until harvest. .

Not really flush but ler the plants feed off of waters left in the soil I feed every week regardless since the start so there should be enough in theory to last me a few weeks without adding. ..maybe adding molasses can help the uptake of the nutes So I could make it thru. ...who knows

hey @TaTHC and welcome to AFN my man...
Just to keep the argument at a balance I'm up for flushing / cleansing... not feeding your plant for the last 2 weeks... I have noticed a big difference in taste when smoked and observed the white ash affect ( I have tested ). I like to smoke a joint or 2 so I think its important but if your into your concentrates I don't think it matters. I did notice on some plants an increase in tric production as well... when it comes to this argument each there own really, too flush or not to flush that is the big question.

I use my macro lens on my SLR for looking at trics, there are some cheap macro add on for phones on ebay.
By the look of that pic she may have some time to go.
