Pre-Harvest Flush Protocol

Flushing removes excess nutrient salts before harvest. Whether you flush or not is debated — but if you're doing it, here's how to do it right.

💡 The flush debate: Some growers swear by flushing for smoother smoke. Others say a proper dry and cure matters more. Either way, a good flush won't hurt and can help if you've been feeding heavy.

🌍 Soil

7-14 day flush

🥥 Coco

5-7 day flush

💧 Hydro

3-5 day flush

Timing — When to Start
Check trichomes first
✓
Check trichomes — mostly cloudy with first amber appearing = start flush
✓
Count backwards: Soil = start 7-14 days before chop. Coco = 5-7 days. Hydro = 3-5 days.
✓
Note today's date as Flush Day 1 and estimated chop date

⚠️ Don't flush too early. Starting flush when trichomes are still mostly clear means buds will be underdeveloped at chop. Use trichomes, not pistils, as your guide.

The Flush Process
pH'd water only
✓
Use plain water only — no nutrients, no supplements, no CalMag
✓
pH your water: Soil 6.3-6.5 / Coco 5.8-6.0 / Hydro 5.8-6.0
✓
First flush watering: water with 2-3× normal volume to push salts out (heavy runoff)
✓
Test runoff EC — should be dropping each watering. Target: under 0.3-0.5 EC
✓
Subsequent waterings: normal volume, pH'd water only, until harvest

💡 Flawless Finish, FloraKleen, or Sledgehammer are flushing agents that help break down salt deposits. Optional but effective on the first flush watering.

What to Expect
Signs the flush is working
✓
Fan leaves will yellow and fade — this is GOOD. Plant is using stored nutrients.
✓
Colors may change: purples, reds, oranges appearing in leaves = normal autumn fade
✓
Bud growth slows slightly — buds are ripening, not fattening
✓
Runoff EC dropping each day — this confirms salts are washing out
✓
Continue checking trichomes — when amber hits your target %, it's chop day
4
Chop Day Transition
Flush is done — time to harvest
✓
Final trichome check — confirm target amber percentage reached
✓
Optional: 24-48hrs of darkness before chop (some growers believe this increases resin)
✓
Do NOT water on chop day — drier medium = faster initial drying
✓
