The flush "myth"

[Budley Doright]

I'm confused lol. So flushing does not flush out excess nutrients but most say that if you don't overfeed you don't need to flush, in saying that then you are saying I do need to flush if I over feed? And even if you do put the boots to her a cure will fix it. So what is it? If I overfeed I do need to flush? It seems some here are kind of confused as well lol.

flushing out excess salts from the soil. you can't ever flush anything from the plant, that is not how they work. Don't put to much salt in your pot, no need to try and get it out. pretty simple

The act of flushing is to get rid of the chlorophyll, nitrogen! The greener the bud the more chlorophyll is present.

Most people are just confused about what flushing does.

I don't know what salt removing additive you refer to, and many many many have proved over and again that flushing is every bit as valid a method to finish a crop though some deny this and claim it's a myth. Myth would be that nobody is able to do it with any success.

I'm not saying its myth, flawed to a point yes and quite a large vol of water for soil and some soiless plants at least.

What your saying is that you dont agree with us not that i dont agree with you though. I will not agree that flushing a healthy organic soil does anything but increase nutrient levels so that is a pointless medium to flush and technically unflushable depending on the substrate ingredients. Other mediums will benefit more.

Why overfertilize in the first place....

I think Botanicare do a flushing solution called Clearex, other companies have their own offerings, just google it and at least if you didnt know you now have a new awesome weapon to aid in flushing of ionic salts from your grow medium.

 

[Kingrow1]

how do you "flush" IMMOBILE nutrients?

Clearex.....?

assumptions, backpedaling, otherwise non-healthy debate. Peace.

Google that salt removing nutrient for flushing at least, can be used after overfertilization or to clear your medium up too i believe.

I'm a hydro grower indoors so I relate everything to that .... opps. Outdoors I feed to the end with soil grows. Last year I tried to keep the outdoor plant (just 1 as a test) green as per U Ben, burnt the crap out of it lol.

This is my little grow at day 21 into flower and I'm already taking away chlorophyll. These buds won't have a green leaf left by the time I chop. I want just enough nitrogen to get her through stretch phase. These buds will all be fist size and be smooth smokin!

Green is chlorophyll, i'm not sure there is anything that can be more inter-related to yeild. Finishing with a green plant and tasty weed is a real skill.

 

[Budley Doright]

^^^^^^ looks like you've been defoliating as well......ok guys grab your pitchforks and light the torches, there's chasing to be done lol.

 

[TopShelf85]

I'm not sure what your saying but I get a consistent 5 to 8 oz per plant every grow and caregiver to 5 people and many more in line.

 

[TopShelf85]

Absolutely I defoliate indica strains. Wouldn't grow any other way.

I got into it with him a little, next thing you know, I can't get on the forums for almost a month, HMMMM!!!!!!!!

He reported Mrs. MMG's new account as spam for commenting that he should get his pots off his cold basement floor and his plants might not be so yellow.

Her post was deleted by RIU since it was so new.

He still insists it was me with a fake account even though D.C. had already met her at our house.

And soon after tty's plants were a little greener. Hmmmm.

But me I had one warning to calm down in personal messages from an RIU administrator and lost my priveledges to post in the jacks for dummies and Ttystick vertical goodness threads.

That was last year I think.

And nothing since.

I was sent a map to tty's house with a picture of Millhouse as the marker saying i would recognize him by it.

I Love RIU

I don't think there is much skill involved really, it seems if you feed normal amounts and lay off the nitrogen a bit it seems to stay pretty healthy and tastes great but the cure is what makes or breaks the taste, not what you feed it right? I happen to think you can fuck up a plant with certain additives and no amount of cure will make it right, I know I've been there.

AND, I have seen a picture of him, He doesn't look like milhouse, He has a dumb face with long blonde ponytail. straight outta the 80's
