Flushing is a myth

From my admittedly short experience I disagree man, I think it makes a big difference to the final product.

Added .3ml top shooter to the litre, see how it goes I don’t wanna add to much more time on, but I think I might move everything to this bigger tent space it out better. And finish it with the leds and cmh see what a few weeks does.

The first time I was told flushing was a myth was by a horticulturist who had nothing to do with weed and was 2 years into their micro biology degree. To put it in their words “if flushing did anything commercial greenhouses would be flushing the last 1-2 weeks of fruiting purely to reduce nutrient use and cost, but they don’t”. If buisness that are running hundreds of hectares don’t feel the need to save what could be hundreds of dollars of nutrients per run I don’t the see any need on my small scale grow.

520 watts of diy quantum board, I reckon the frost will pack on with this new light.

 

[Bongsmoke420]

Was going to put the cmh in the middle of the new tent with a board either side,,,, should be plenty of light, the cmh will throw a pretty big footprint

Maybe not for fruit bro, but we growing flowers. I just think you get a smoother final product with a cleaner burn. Don't quote me but I think the late deficiencies have some sort of reaction with the resin production.

They do smoke tobacco which 100% isn’t flushed. There are also a number of herbs that can be smoked that wouldn’t get flushed. Doesn’t matter how it’s ingested the plant still stores chemicals the same way.

Look at the Nasty chemicals in tobacco tho haha. Maybe they should flush .

 

[Papasmurf99]

At the end of the day it's always going to be debated and a preference thing. I can personally taste the difference tho

I prefer green amd Healthy the entire way to chop. A deficiency is the plant asking for a supply of something it needs to carry out photosynthesis in some way.

Those chemicals are added after the product is harvested and dried. Natural Tobacco still isn’t flushed.

Yeah and people have had medical conditions cured from a sugar pill does t mean the sugar did anything.

Possibly, but i see some commercial growers I follow in the states that flush so surely there's some merit to it.
