Flushing/ fan leave pruning

[TriPurple]

For flushing 1 or 2 weeks before harvest, does it help taste & burn?

but what comes first...the flushing or the defoliation?

 

[Gary Goodson]

I use 50 gallons of ph'd water per gallon of medium and I trim every single stupid leaf off as soon as pops out of the dirt!


That's how its done SON!!

I tried voting but I didn't see the option for "go read a botany book and learn about curing"

if you have more than one plant, flush one, don't flush a second, dry and cure exactly the same, smoke, and compare.. i'd be willing to bet you won't flush after..

From other posts I'd say it about 50/50. It funny how you can have completely different results, from people trying the same techniques.

flush it, pull it, dance around and sprinkle fairy dust on it. then put it into dark for 3 years for maximum thc%

I normally don't take sides on this debate. I'm going to admit it though. When I first started growing in my closet at my mom's house as a kid, I flushed. There I said it. My herb tasted good too. But it wasn't because I flushed. A plant that is fed will produce more weight than a plant that is hungry. There's my vote. Never pulled any leaves off a plant that weren't dead. But maybe I should give it a go just to be sure they actually need those things.

You're doing it wrong....



Not enough water.

No to defoliation,
lots of good techniques to use instead.
I grow Hempy and I am using 5 gallon buckets, I use Rock wool 4"x4" and plant them in the bucket filled with clay pellets.

My buckets are designed to hold 1 gal of water below the overflow holes.
I flush every 2 weeks till runoff is under 250PPM.
I run my FF hydro nutes at 850-1000 PPM during feeding in Flower.

Bless,

Right because In nature when growing outdoors in the plants natural life cycle the rain already comes pre mixed with mineral salt based nutrients which is why u want to feed all the way to harvest....

right, because in indoor growing, we control the environment, which is totally different from outdoor growing.
