What exactly is flushing?

Well if you are going to travel the world and talk to growers to write and compile a handbook to grow weed then it is probably a good idea to wear a disguise just in case. Probably not his real name either. LOL.

Just like when we come on here.....do we use our real names or personal photos if we are not in a place of acceptable means?

These guys are taking a huge risk to try to bring their dreams alive. There is a lot to lose. I can't blame him for the sunglasses or the wig if it is a wig I have no idea. I never noticed. I just read what he wrote.


Seriously, i might be crazy, but i think the answer to the complete legalization for recreational use is possible if everyone that smokes herb openly admits to it and does it in public. I snap joints outside crowded bars, in deadlock traffic, at parks, around people. I don't hide it, i just act like a normal person, and people don't mess with me.

If everyone just started smoking in public, don't you think there would be a change?

The jails are already overcrowded with non-violent offenders of the bullshit law.

You just have to let it go. Not everybody will agree all the time but when it really matters people will come together. Everyone is basically posting the same thing over and over again LOL. So we do agree but nobody wants to see. As long as this guy knows what he wanted to know then that's all that matters. He or she has not said a word since. I cannot blame them either.
Do you have a philosophy degree, cause that's the first thing i've read that makes sense.

I guess this is a resource of sorts, where you will get more answers than you need, some right, some not wrong but not right, and it's up to you to decide by trial and error.

I don't agree with following directions, i was tought that everything can be better if you work at it. Like stuff made in sweatshops, you can rebuild it and make it better, it is always possible to improve upon any object.

Like when the next generation of indoor lighting is invented, and HPS becomes a thing of the past. I've used Advanced Nitrients for the past 6- 7 years or so, and their products have evolved completely to a whole new game.

I'm not a dick, i'm a nice guy, i just can't stand arrogance, combined with stupidity, that's for you bonghits. I'm tired of your callousness, to be honest, your weed looks good, but it also looks over fertilized, i'd give you the tip to maybe cut back the nutes on a few to try out a lighter regimen, but you'd flame me, because you know everything an earth, and you run this site. Honestly, try peaking a few at just 900-1000 ppm, see what happens.

I'm saying this because i'm trying to help. - I figured this would be a nice site full of cool people, exchanging info, but it's a bunch of people argueing over who's right.

My whole take, well for sure the pic bonghits provided is not actual size, what he has there shows the cola leaves almost as big as a persons arm, we know that isn't real. the bud is much closer to the camera than his arm is, giving it the appearance that it is huge. Now the pic that norml has is real, its a big bud hes got there too. props to ya norml.

Ok so now lets get the petty shit out of the way, its just clouding the real issue here. the real issue here is that its a pissing contest, everyone thinks they know the answer, but in reality everyone just knows some of the answer. theres always gonna be 1000 ways to skin a cat ( Not that I'm into that sorta thing) so calling people names just because they don't agree with you is just 3rd grade petty BS, you both are guilty of it.

Low post count means nothing, does anyone remember Overgrow.com. that board was very popular and i know for a fact that some of the old hippies over there that had 50,000 posts are over here with 20 posts. You can't rely on post count as an experience meter, it will bite you in the ass.

Now you boys make up and agree to disagree and go about your day.

Carry on!

Talk about straying off topic, post counts, pissing contests, philosophy, this could be a whole bunch of different threads,

let's let it die, i'm not posting about what flushing is anymore, as far as i'm concerened, it's a polite gesture after explosive diarreha while in a public restroom.

I understand where you are coming from but some people have a lot to lose. Some people have kids, grandkids, wives, husbands, sick parents, etc. and the best thing to do is educate people on the medicinal use of marijuana rather than recreational. People just do not know what they need to know to make a proper educated judgement on the subject in general. There is so much to lose that sometimes the only thing you can do is hide the people you love that depend on you to stay free for income, stability, and just the basic needs of life. People cannot provide when they are incarerated.

That cola in that pic is that big. He might have a thick forearm for his size and sure we have no idea what size he is. I can see in comparison with the background with the computer and stuff.....that lady is big. Also skunk is a fat strain and white widow is a beauty so he just did a sweet job so props. It takes a while to really know how to bring the best out of a strain and it takes a lot of work.

Thank you.for the props. I worked on that cross for 2 yrs finding the right parents and growing out countless clones to find the right lady to backcross with the ww father.I vegged her for 45 days and she was ready on day 62 of flower.and normalpot head i must refresh your memory you out of nowhere called me a idiot for telling someone how to do a 1 x flush.So fuck you i dont care what you think about my plants i know how great they are.They are not over ferted. they are organic 100%.And who is the moron who said my pic is a camera trick? the jellous haters just come out of the woodwork here.But weed through the losers like normalpothead and jellous boy.and there are good people who still care about good weed.

It's the real deal friend no tricks no anything the cola itself was just over 2 oz.The rest of the plant weighed 1 oz 22 grams .No tricks just alot of hard work 2 yrs worth.I hate jellous people who cant give credit where credit is due.I worked hard and long on that cross and am verry proud of that plant impaticular.So i will defend her.

And normalpothead. I understand where your comming from.looking to join the community. but you wanna make sure you get the respect you deserve.Well comming after acomplished members and growers with words like arrogance and stupidity for no reason at all except they disagree with your ideal method of flushing is not the way to go about it.Im sure your a decent grower (Its not rocket science).And we could probly even learn a thing or two from each other.But i will continue to flame you until i recieve the apoligy i deserve.

The Jorge Cervantes dvd single handedly helped me through my whole first grow. From seed to flower. Very simple and straight forward. Why would anybody miss the opportunity to listen to everything he has to say, when everything he says will help you??

oh... And like Bonghits4all says, it's not rocket science. Atleast not until you pass the simple pre-requisites.

Whenever I've had a little Nute Burn, I just skip watering with Nutes for two or three waters. That's about all the flushing I do during veg. Start small with nutes and listen to your plant. Maybe even tell it a joke or sing it a song every once in a while.

Still discovering the proper flush for flowering.

I've learned a lot in the last month. We all do different things that work for us. Myself, I like a small plant and a fast grow. I'd love to grow a sativa but it would stick out here, not much stealth factor. I've been lucky that I haven't burned the plant. I give it a good dose every other watering and molasses every feeding. She's small because I didn't start getting serious until she was done vegging. Every morning I go out and say high to her. Sounds stupid but I like looking for signs of stress every day.

And I don't flush. I haven't needed to....yet. She's not done yet.

Look, it's simple, flushing has multiple meanings.

1) Flushing is putting a lot of water through the soil of your plant to remove excessive fertilizer. Typically three times the volume of soil but it has been said when the water runs clear it's done.

2) Flushing is the process of letting the fertilizers "flush" through the plant's system over the last two weeks before harvesting by feeding the plant only water. This can start with a manual flush of 3x the soil volume or not.

I have been growing for well over 3 months now so I am clearly an expert; and I can tell all of you are dumbasses with no ability to grow. This is clearly demonstrated by the size of MY buds. My buds aren't so small as to only be as big as your head, they are REALLY huge!

See:


Now everyone stop being assholes to each other. None of you know shit, I don't care how long you've been growing, because you can always learn something new. So, again, everyone stop being assholes... it's harshing my buzz.

Actually I'm what brings smiles and joy and happiness and non-creepy clowns and cotton candy and rainbows to the world. Think of me like a little kitten. A giant little kitten.

And kittens make you smile don't they Bong? Everybody loves kittens. They're so cute and cuddly... or do you hate kittens too? Man you are cold hearted.

i just dont have time for sarcasim and ego manics like nph. who think they are sooooo fing cool.
Wow N.P.H. I get my own abbreviated name, like P Diddy, and Dr. Dre.

I called you an idiot for telling a kid to flush 20 gallons of water through a five gallon pot. Unless there was a nuclear holocaust in his soil, and even the I doubt, would that much water be necessary.
