With today's technology , i can give you a Stawberry juice that has no strawberry in it .. soo are you trying to say if you dont know the diference theres is no diference ?

Some people are happy to eat at Mc Ds, and some like 5 star restaurants. not everyone has the same taste. Thats what makes the world go round. I flush for personal reasons. I have COPD and if its not flushed and then dried for 4wks i cant smoke it. Last time i tried i coughed so hard one of my lungs collapsed, not fun.

Don't get what? All you have said is that other people don't do it and I think you just implied cannabinoids weigh... Or are you actually saying leaching reduces potency now too? Kinda reaching...

Lol you think copying a graphic from google makes a genius ? lolol
I will explain , flushing makes the plants feed on the acumulated nutrients , your worst enemy is Nitrogen , Nitrogen is a very mobile nutrient , flushing makes your plant feed on the acumulated nitrogen , thats why your leaves turn yellow with n deficiency and very dark with excessive nitrogen , you dont want to chop a plant with too much N acumulated , no matter what you dont it will taste like crap , unles you dont know the diference.
I like to smoke and enjoy the smoke , if you just want to enjoy the High its up to you.

I don't usually leach for more than a week which at the end is only a couple waterings, but like I said, it all depends on how the plant is responding to the nutes, my super lemon haze I cut last month leached for two weeks because the buds weren't growing and the trichs weren't changing. You can't really have set rules for this stuff, every plant is different and will respond different.

Why don't you leach? All I see is you saying that other people don't do it so you don't either, at least do your own experiment.
And I still haven't seen anybody post a reason to keep adding base nutes after the buds stop growing, which is all I'm saying not to do.

The last time I "flushed" a plant I was growing was during a lockout with synthetic fertilizers. Leeching is the proper terminology.

Last summer I ran six plants, all synthetic fertilizers. Three received leeching sessions during the last two weeks of flower as is the common forum 'advise.' The three that were leeched turned out to be around 10% less total dried flower product, the plants didn't appropriately finish.

I have been gardening since I was four, I planted my first sunflowers in the backyard garden. Since that Spring I have had a garden every year except for during business trips overseas. I have yet to leech a single plant that I grow for human consumption in my food garden, why the hell would I need to?

Edit: the six were the same cuttings.

And here's your citation about health side effects.

forum bullshit, I bet you couldn't keep a plant green until the end, that is how a MASTERGARDNER does it, not some forum flunky

We aren't trying to grow green plants ROFLMAO. We are growing buds to smoke. Get your priorities straight.

OH EM GEE my vernacular isn't the same as yours?!?!?!?! I must be stupid.
Is this really your argument at this point? I started using it because pinworm was, I don't name the methods I use to grow.

It is a very common/popular belief/practice (and also retarded) to stop feeding nutes and flush only during the last 2 weeks before harvest, this is based on the notion that we are removing nutes from the plant to improve taste and reduce harshness. The result of this practice is that the plant starts pulling stored nutes from the leaves and the leaves start yellowing.

But we don't smoke the leaves, we smoke the buds and the buds don't yellow they stay healthy alive and green till the end because the plant is pulling the nutes from the leaves,

So how does this popular practice remove nutes from the buds that we smoke???

Can anyone explain this?

and also , 2 years ago i had my plants with a driping system , i screw it up , and i over fertelize them , they where soo fucking dark green by harvest time , that i couldn't never really enjoy their smoke , not even after a few months curing .. they tasted like shit .

I think that you didn't really smoked something dank , thats why you enjoy soo much your own smoke.

You really think not giving base nutes for a week yellows your plant that much? Like I said, do your own experiment.
Honestly the person with COPD saying they can't smoke unflushed weed should be enough for you.

One molecule of any chemical has weight, the periodic table is proof of this. It uses atomic weight to arrange them after all.

It doesn't reduce potency, it prevents the plant from reaching peak potency. A bit like shooting an Olympic marathon runner in the knee three meters from the finish, he could have come in first place but settled for fifteenth after his knee got taken out.
