HARVESTING/FLUSHING question. please reply

[kuri]

so i know that a week or two before harvest it is good to flush your plant in PH adjusted water to get all the chemicals and nutes out of the plant....

but i just thought of this... i have a 4 ft plus size plant and have used LST (low stress training) to get more light to more of the plant. i have a week an a half before 8 weeks is up, it looks like the top of the plant has many buds that are going to be ready a little bit past 8 weeks. so my question is do i flush the system to harvest the finished buds and the put NUTES back in the system to finish the rest of the buds remaining to ripen and then flush AGAIN? that is what i assume would be the best thing to do, but if anyone has any other suggestions, i'm OPEN to them!!!

start ur flush tomorrow, and do it 10 days and harvest what u will. ur roots will be about as clean as they'l get then give a little bit of nutes to feed the remaining buds if u never overferted during the grow.

thanks for your reply. so would i resume with regular nute strength? or 1/2 strength or something?

give it one full strength drink and then back to water.

I would just flush and then not put nutes back in. Just let the rest of the buds finish. It won't take too much longer after you do the first harvest till the rest are ready and you won't have time to do another flush and let the plant use up the nutrients stored. The leaves should store enough macros to get you through.
