When to Flush

[markjames1503]

Hello all!
I am very excited! It's getting close to when I need to start flushing, the girls have about 20% amber trichomes and 10% clear and 70% milky. I'm wondering when would be a good time to flush and how I would do this with my hydro system? should I use a solution meant for the flushing stage? how long should I flush for?
I had accidently chopped off a branch of buds, dried them out, and recently smoked them. I could definitely taste the funk!
Help anyone?

You can buy a flushing agent such as Clearex or, what I have been doing to keep cost down, use plain water the last week before chopping and during that week change water out once or twice also. Hard to say when cause I dont know have fast your nonmes have been changing but I would say soon

I am growing in an aeroponic setup and flush at week six in flower for my indicas and week eight for sativas. With the nutes at 1250 ppm for weeks 3-6, it takes a week and a half or so for all of the nutes to be pulled from the leaves. Some of the tastiest and smooth meds, say my patients.
