Senpai, do you flush before harvest? im getting close to harvest time and have been reading up.. mixed reviews on when to chop and if to flush or not.
It all depends on you bud

Personaly i flush the last week somtimes 2 and taper down my feed in the last few weeks

Couple extra grams dont mean shit to me if it burns into a black lump of charcoal ;)

But this is a very subjective thing

cause lots of peeps swear by not flushing but im not one of em lol

Nah, its all good. I've always said if I were to go to Ireland I'd fly my bike with me. I don't have a cool Ducati but I've had a FXR for many yrs.
That's a beautiful pic and I'll bet the ride was absolutely incredible.
That wasn’t Ireland , it was Isle of Man
200hp to the back tire, better then sex
The wind from the North Sea almost took me on the same corner that took Bonner about 16 hours later .
You can rent bikes in Europe, even 200hp Ducati’s

I think a lot that debate comes from not having definitive terms for "flushing" or "leeching".

Most growers do what you do. Just taper back the feed. They don't require as much toward the end anyway.

Flushing is leeching lol

Leeching is flushing

Funniest shit i saw the other day was dude said he didnt flush but he leeched for two weeks before cut;)

I had to laugh
what is your opinion on the timing of harvest. for example, ive read that you should cut the plant away from its roots JUST before lights on. Something about all of the nutrients staying in the roots?

I watched that shit on tv where they race around then through town.

Incredible seeing them coming out of corners with the front wheel trying to come up. Crazy

In 4x4?
The numbers I care about is what can I pull out of a 4x4 square 6 times a year?
I’m the type to have a V8 sports car, then supercharge it.
Wanna buy a car?
I’ll check out some of 5s vids
This one I was looking at was a 4x8, he DID run 32 freaking COB's which is a LOT of hardware, but ran them at 700 ma, for 850 total actual wattage, about 790 PPFD ended up being 1.9 grams per watt, which to me is crazy efficient. he even breaks down what approx. he used in total electricity (with just lights 643 kwh). He has so much info in his videos.

Dont know if this a myth or not but supposedly
Plants send starches or some other nutes down to the root system after so many hours of dark


I personally let myine go dark for 24 to 48 hours
Before i chop

Ive gone longer like 3 days dark but didnt find that anything was better then just the 24 hours

I also like to drop the temps

I have been hearing a lot of benefits from 24 hours of darkness before harvest.

I want to try trimming the plant completely while its still in soil, sugar leaves and everything, and then throw it into darkness for a couple days to dry out before separating from the root system.

I read something recently about cutting a few hours after lights on.
It allows the plant to be fully hydrated so it dries slower.

All these things kind of make sense when someone explains them but
I think in side by side tests no one
Could tell me if i trimmed in the dark while wearing one moon boot and one flip flop.

When I tried this a few times, eh.. I don't know, one strain might have responded, I can barely see these freaking trichomes anyway to be honest but what I did notice on all strains is it made the pistils darker and seemed thicker too and I don't like that so I stopped doing it, that was just my observation
-good luck

Also i like to taper down the nutes after week 5 if it's a 8-9 week strain

Try to get a good fade right at chop time

Marmelade is jam made from oranges.
Godawful, but that is what it is.
I was all buzzed up n feeling silly when I wrote that, but agree it is awful stuff.

But

The punch line was ,

I can’t marmalade my dick down your throat....

Teehee :)
