The flush "myth"

I'm sure they do, there's a bunch of Em flavornoids u name it, but THC has the most by far psychoactive properties. The other noids work together to make a whole but THC has the most effects on the brain. I just read. Charlottes Web, world renowned strain for many debilitations, NO THC and won't get you high at all. Witch takes me back to why some strains are called the strongest on earth, hi THC content and low if not absent other noids!

and what was their definitions of flushing?

Some people think watering a plant is flushing.

It is the same person.....

He uses mostly perlite with a bit of other stuff in for his plants. Plants get flushed for 3 weeks. This would include not adding more fertiliser, as well watering the pots until the runoff is no longer elevated.
Some people also use bottled empty chelates to help strip the substrate. The idea I guess is not only to strip the substrate of as many nutrients as possible to prevent the plant taking up any new, and letting the plant use up any that it might be hanging on to in older leaves etc.

i think they just concentrated on what was readily available to them, in America, which was Mexican brick and forgot about the rest of the world or those who actually sourced good pot. Look at the Asian or Afghani strains? High THC and old school legs.

I just popped some Shit x Shit/Skunk. Old skool cool. So many people want the legs of the old school strains.

Yea. The legs. That's another thing. The length of the high.

I prefer old school long flowering sativas. Smoke a fatty and be high for 4-6 hours. Not the hour or two a lot of new stuff has.

If someone had some of the real deal old strains they would be rich.

Yea. One minute claim today's pot is the strongest ever but the next be looking for some panama red or Columbian gold.

I've had the extremely lucky pleasure of working with someone who possessed a couple landrace strains, and got to consume the flowers in multiple forms... I'd rather have those original strains over the new hype genetics any day. I definitely agree that there is a major loss in the gene pool through today's breeding hype (to some extent, there are still some breeders with the right idea in mind) and that there is a lack of people actively seeking to preserve genetics, and that even goes for people farming vegetables/produce. If we lose the landraces, we will ultimately be losing "True" Cannabis genetics...

Starving a plant for three weeks seems counterproductive. Do you like to go fishing?

Yeah its hard to get an actual strain these days, you really don't know what your getting and if it is a cut from an original breeder, even then how far down the gene pool is it.

I must hook you up with some of my landrace seeds. Grows some interesting weed these days with all the contamination with foreign strains.
Got everything from purple plants to purple calyxes this year and the whole range in between. The flowering over winter seems faster than the spring cycle, where 14 weeks would be quick and closer to 20, more standard where I stay.

Cannabinoids dummy. You don't even posses the correct vernacular for what you are talking about.

Go ahead. Ill give you a few minutes to look those words up.

I would love to have some.

Ill be honest. I spend several hundred bucks a few times a year on seeds. What ever is popular and what used to be when I can find it.

All of those seeds and I find myself dipping back into my stash of seeds from landrace strains.

Some were 20 weekers to begin with but are down to about 12-14 after years of acclamation.

I would love to have some of your landrace stuff. I tend to like stuff like that better.
