Flushing with Mountain Dew

[ISK]

I agree nice job with the cups. Personally I think I'd let those plants go a little longer. And what's with all these mountain dew threads lately?! Stuffs nasty haha. I don't really buy into the whole flush thing but I'll keep an eye on this and see what results you get.

you may be right but they are just starting to show some amber trichromes, and they are self defoliating, so I figure they are close. (remember it's not the one on the far left, it's 4-5 weeks away)

I have never flushed before, just figure it's a waste of time and water, but what the hell.

As for using Mountain Dew....well all the credit for this idea has to go to Ryan

If roots get hit with boiling water they'll be completely dead. Same as cutting off.

it takes a few days for the water way to work, which allows for fermentation to begin, cutting it off is instant. do a plant and watch what happens.

Ok I think I see what you're saying now. Still skeptical but I understand better.

It damages the roots, takes several days to die

So if I lowered my pinkie into boiling water would I turn into a brewery?

Fermentation is strictly defined as any way of anaerobically degrade pyruvic acid and recycle NAD+ to keep glycolysis going. You can then categorize this process as lactic acid fermentation (where pyruvate accepts electrons from NADH directly and becomes lactate), alcoholic fermentation (where pyruvate is first decarboxylated to acetaldehyde which then accepts electrons from NADH to become ethanol) and others (which are much more obscure). So technically, human cells are able to carry out lactic acid fermentation. Liver cells also have the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (responsible for ethanol formation in yeast and other fungi), but we use it in the reverse direction so to speak to get rid of any alcohol which we consume by converting it to pyruvate.
Plants however, can carry out alcoholic fermatation. They don't normally do it, because plants are usually in contact with oxygen. However, if you flood the root of a plant for about a week the cells are starved of oxygen, and because of this they will start carrying out alcoholic fermentation to survive.

the skepticism is a good response you're in the company of loons.

just the normal traditional Mountain Dew...I have actually never seen those other types here in Canada, but I drink beer not pop.

Mmmm beer. Molsen is the Canadian go to for me. Golden is good and Moosehead is nice too. Years and years ago, Labatts had a nice IPA out for awhile (Loved it). Now, down here at least. We have every stink'in micro brewer WRECKING good IPA with too many/much hops. Dbl hopping, Trpl hopping ! Give me a break! IPA is rather "hoppy" but these guys are over doing it!

Lately I've found some Mexican beers to be quite excellent! Tecate is very nice! Sol is on the lighter side as is Pacfic de clara but, the Pacifico is better. Now for the best - Modelo! I REALLY like it!
The most interesting man in the world has left the earth. Most likely because his beer is not that interesting....not "bad" though. Corona Extra is "Mexican" beer made for sale in the US! Rather hard to find outside of resorts down there! The ONLY beer made better with a lime wedge! (No fruit in beer! MAN LAW!)

I like the MD Black label = Berry Dew is the best way to describe it.

LOL

Skepticism is good. Trying something to find the truth is better......I have NOT tried it yet.....If I'm lucky and actually GET my charges reduced.....I hope to be out in time to actually do it!

Therefore drowning the roots would be just as effective as boiling water.

Flushing with mtn dew?

I hope you atleast top dressed with Dorita dust and have red bull cans as your soil aerator.

yes, this was the original way, boiling way seems to speed it up by a week and a half.

in the begining there was drowning, but in the right conditions it caused molded buds, the switch to boiled water fixed this problem and gives the same results in a much faster timeframe

so when you boil your roots, do you pick a ''x' gallon pot, get it to boil, and just pour it on / in the soil your growing? or in your DWC bucket or whatever?

yeppers bout a quart of boiling water per gallon of pot size

I wish you were my uncle or smth ;C could get some dank weed in notime with your knowledge.

I hear what you are saying about the over hoppy IPA....can't even drink them

I used to be a big Kokanee fan, (a BC beer), but they were bought up by Labatts and now mass produce it in Alberta

My go to beer is a local cheap beer but is decent (Hell's Gate)

As for Mexican beer, I like most of them except for Corona....total piss water that needs a lime to hide the taste

My butt hurts. Too much spicy food & not enough fiber.
I don't like getting old.
Getting up to pee several times a night is fun too...
