how do you go about flushing your plants? i have read about it but i dont understand is there a link someone could give me that would explain this in detail or maybe just tell me i guess. Im going to remove that foil thanks for the advice.

I was coming back to change that "immediately" word.. just sounded stupid and I dont know why I used it there.. sir get out of your car immediatly!!.. whatever:rasta:

flushing is to take out any bad chemicals that may have accumulated in the soil, people usually do it once in a while when there using nutes but you can do it without using nutes just to clean up the soil and to wash out stuff that may have been there from the place you got the soil.. wether frontyard or shop soil usually need a little flushing to clean out some things..
what it is is simple, you just take the pot go to the bathroom put the pot in the sink and if your tapwater is drinkable then open the water check with your hand have it mild.. not cold but not hot.. a little over or around room temperature. then just let the water fill the pot and then let it flow out.. and repeat this a couple times till you think you added about 3-4 times the pot size of water into it ( might be unaccurate but i forgot but 3-4 should be enough i guess.. ) and thats it..
and then get into a good watering cycle, let the plants go 2-3 days after the flush then go into a water per 2 days cycle and I guess they should be fine..

good luck!
i guess too much ,

I use de-chlorinated water myself. You'll want to flush your plant about 2-3 time in a life cycle. Once following Veg. then again 2-3 weeks before harvest. Maybe once more sprinkled in if you start to see problems at some point. Flushing clears your soil so you can start fresh. Also can correct PH issues.

Great advice also.

Removing the foil will make it easier to assess the soil conditions .

i flush more frequently then 2 to 3 times my plants life...i do it like maybe twice a month. But thats just my style i like knowing that my plants soil is nice and clean, and i like knowing that my girls able to suck up nutrients from the soil easily.

well i have remove the foil, There is also a fan going on this girls 24/7. flushing them will have to wait till next watering. or the next time i might be able to take them near a sink without getting caught. :|

yeah watering with foil on is a pain.

I'm not sure if it was already mentioned but using a fan through the growth cycle will increase the size and strength of the main stalk of the MJ plant. This will allow for faster/more nute intake and possibly increase bud size as a result.

Did or do you plan on cloning or not? I have taken clones at the end of the cycle to keep going it still is possible if you are planning on it.

Good Job

im not sure if i plan on doing more then one grow but yeah its possible that i might take some clones and give that a try.

im personally afraid of flushing too heavily, since my last 3ft plant died due to overwatering (it was ak47 2 weeks flowering)

mind you...the pot didnt have drainage holes *cries and hits head on desk*
