Frankly purple daddy, u should listen to rusty. I've seen ur grows and they r hardly impressive. And to everyone else hating, the advise rusty gave is solid. Just like he said, a noob would have read that and thought it was ok to take outdoor plants in the house. But fuck it. U guys do what u want. U can check my grow "cataract kush" Alot of my success has come from the advise of guys like rusty and ww.

Much respect again to everyone......the post was flushing and harvesting......now if your are totally organic.....like wash.....then you are flushing from the very start.....and most likely flushing will not be needed......but if you are those new growers who watch all the videos.....on youtube
and are using all the synethics to boost and grow.....you will have to flush......

So far my experience.....I started out using the synethics......grow...bloom....flower.....budboost er.......the medicine was good.....but I thought there was a better way.....better quality.....and no synethics......so I did some research......and found "clean green certified MMJ"......and I had my room certified....followed the guidelines......and believe me it's trial and error.....but I now believe my medicine is superior to any of the medicine grown with synethics...................but............this is very advanced......and Wash......has achieved the no flush because he is a very advance grower.....I do not reccomend to new growers.....the no flushing.....becasue I know .....they want the shortcut.....magical.....grow.....bloom....bigbud. ....stuff...out there, and if using that stuff to grow with you HAVE to flush.

As far as harvesting........patience is a must.......I for one do not have much......but I know most 8 week strains that claim that on the package of seeds are really a 10 week strain.......

Growing.......there in not one right way......but there are lots of wrong ways........keep focused.......and you will be successful.

what has been your feeding schedule for ur plants....basically you should flush....two weeks before ur gonna harvest do as rusty said and flush two or three gallons of phd water through your pots....i usally do this by adding one gallon and then wait twenty minutes before flushing the others through...i do this so the water from the first gallon has time to dissolve some of the salts so they r flushed out when you add the rest...after that make sure to let it dry out..pretty much just go back to ur normal water schedule but using only phd water till the chop...one other thing..make sure to let them dry out before u chop..helps the drying process
