I rest on the cusp.Maybe I should rephrase as I know more medical than recreational smokers, a select few of us have medical reasons.
Does it sit better?
"on", stupid phone.

These articles are talking about hemp cultivation and relationships of different levels of N and the overall growth observations in the hemp plants.Its best to find optimal dose not starve them.

There is also a bit about the effect on thc.These articles are talking about hemp cultivation and relationships of different levels of N and the overall growth observations in the hemp plants.
What does that have to do with flushing I am not sure. However, if we can assume and draw any correlating responses between these hemp plants and our high cannabinoid containing cultivars, we can draw the same conclusions that increasing N would decrease THC ya? That would be an inverse relationship, and would support any flush no?
Sorry if I ramble we're high over here, it's Saturday
"THC content of leaves of each plant part decreased in response to N fertilizer (charted)"There is also a bit about the effect on thc.
Its best to find optimal feed not starve them.
N, I believe goes up by a large amount in the new growth when you feed just water (which seems to be called a flush rather than a water)"THC content of leaves of each plant part decreased in response to N fertilizer (charted)"
This suggests that N fertilizer and THC content of each plant part are inversely related (at what stage of growth?)
You realize this is a hemp study?
How do you draw that conclusion from what you've posted?
Which N goes up? Are you following and referring to the article excerpts?N, I believe goes up by a large amount in the new growth when you feed just water (which seems to be called a flush rather than a water)
No. Im not presenting facts. Just something I read somewhere on a forum recently. Which is why I used the word "believe".Which N goes up? Are you following and referring to the article excerpts?
From the excerpt I understood as the experiment was to feed the N at various levels and correlate the growth differences or try to understand some relationships.
I didn't understand it to conclude to water and N goes up? Where do you get that from?
Ok, I thought you were quoting me and referring to the article and trying to add to that somehow.No. Im not presenting facts. Just something I read somewhere on a forum recently. Which is why I used the word "believe".
Nope just discussing. If i was presenting fact id present it as suchOk, I thought you were quoting me and referring to the article and trying to add to that somehow.
peace
There are more that say the same. Read the whole thing. Yes it does decrease. With too much. It also decreases with not enough N. You need to find optimal feed."THC content of leaves of each plant part decreased in response to N fertilizer (charted)"

Sorry, but BS, support this somehow, not with articles that study the feeding of various levels of nitrogen to fiber hemp and the observed THC content throughout the plant from 1970 something.Bottoms line if you starve your ants to get a fake fall fade you are hurting your harvest and potency.
Well ya some farms here do wash nutrients into the water unnecessarily . They spread the manure on top of the snow (thought it was illegal till I called) only to have the majority wash away when the snow melts but ground has not. My farm is certified organic, I know shit about farming BTW LOL. I rent it to an organic dairy farm, and have asked him not to spread in the winter, I like my lake free of algae blooms thanks lol. We also have a hydroponic tomato producer that actually does run plain water through their trays for one week prior to harvest (as do most, if not all according to the owner). This is not done for taste or quality, she says there would be no noticeable difference in her opinion and is done to wash excess nutes out of the trays and also saves a shit load of money over a period of a year. .Horticulturist do when they screw up and need to remove salts from the soil.
How do you know who is a drug addict.
Fyi. I not only grow pot but grow enough vegetables for a family of 5 for the whole year in a no till organic garden.
I grew up working farms thousands of acres. Nutrients are applied from soil test as not to ruin the environment by washing a shit load of unnecessary nutrients into the water supply.
Its rare to need to leech unless someone screwed up. When you are talking thousands of acres that extra fertilizer really adds up and the extra cost of leeching a screw up cost even more.
The last week of plain water is enough for the pant to use up any still available nutrients during its final finish.
I was wrong with that statement, that's how I run soil. In hydro I run 0.4-0.6 EC 2 weeks before the end and just top with RO till it's done, usually end up around 0.1-0.2EC at the end. They still need a balanced nutrient availability, just not much. Nobody knows what reserves the plant has stored, cutting off all nutrients could starve it of needed elements during its final stage. I want full potential right to the chop.Read your last sentence again and ask yourself why you are arguing with me.
Completely wrong. Leaching, ..."by conventional meaning in a horticulture context".... is mainly a HYDROPONICS procedure, widely used in commercial production, to wash the MEDIA of excess salts. Leaching soil is only done in cases of extreme toxicity, generally done to flush fields of unwanted contaminates rather than excess nutrients.
Go read some .edu docs about field maintenance or irrigation and find me one source about leeching soil as a regular practice. I've been looking for 5+ years and yet to find anything. There's one doc, might have been posted a few pages back, about leaching fields for toxicity, that's the only reference to soil leeching I've ever seen.
Awesome, if it wasn't so large I'd make that my sig. That's an accurate description of how leaching should be done, through runoff, but no relevance to what we're discussing. We're talking about the process of "flushing", as it's known in the cannabis growing community, the common practice of running large quantities of water through your medium. Or running plan water for up to 2 weeks in hydro. This is what I'm arguing against. I said, the correct term is leaching and isn't used in commercial horticulture except in hydroponics to rinse the media of excess buildup. I said I couldn't find references to that particular technique in soil, in commercial horticulture, other than for toxicity.Took about 30 steps to one of my bookshelves and what do ya know Ball RedBook 15th Edition
Since it is I who am able to accomplish what you cannot in 5 years (your words) while I top off my coffee, perhaps it is you who should read more.

Read my last paragraph above.Has anyone else noticed those against flushing or leaching have never tried it?
I see it all time.
Those that have flushed and leached noticed a difference against when they didn't?
It is plausible to test a hypothesis before making a conclusion.
Scientific method and all that jazz.
But hey, what do I know?
I'm just some guy that likes to see for myself instead of just following the herd.
