[THC F13ND]

I was thinking about the process of flushing the other day, and realised I've no idea why people pH their water for the final flush, if you're changing from veg to flower nutes, or sorting a deficiency, then yeah, I see the point.

But the pre-chop flush is aimed at starving out the plant to force it to use up it's stored energy. From that viewpoint, it seems like intentionally pHing above or below the uptake range to lock out as much nutrient as possible at the end would be better than doing the same with an ordinary pH range.

Maybe I'm missing something

I dont ph flush but people might do so any nutrients left in the medium could still be utilised maybe

I don't even have a pen.

In coco I ph my plain water for 3-4 days at the end of flower, I like to think that the plant will use up what ever food is in the coco, also leaving the coco ready for reusing

I`m with you @THC F13ND on that yes, i can`t see point either.

Hell I dont even check or change pH during the grow but I also use organics.

Some info is better left unknown. If I know that number then I might try to change it and every time I do, I fuck up some plants

And I'm with you SQ...Pens are for writing, not for gardening

I oh my flushes so i can re use my soil for outsior olants after the indoors had their job done and so they eat whats left in soil.....

Eco person thing with me tho i hate buying soil for grass, apple tree, avocado and veg that i grow

[Forest]

no need for phing in flush as far as i see it just a pain in the arse sth extra to do lol ,

 

in fact now im organic ive waved good by to phing

[Budgie]

You'd think it wasnt needed wouldn't you, and I dont set it either.

But I suppose the question/experiment should really be "what produces the best finished product post flush at the end of the grow? Does the plant, which is still drinking, do better with acidic, neutral or alakaline water?"

THC is an acid afterall?
