Some people say don’t flush at all some say do?

These thread never get old. 5 stars.

If it's yellow, let it mellow.

Yet another flushing-related debate that will never end

Synthetic nutes are nutrients already broken down into chemical salts. Organics utilize biological processes to break down organic matter into chemical salts. Idk what dude is talking about with his bacteria making chemical salts "organic" talk.

Science mate! The specific bactos digest the npk, then "excrete" a chelated npk "isomer". Not sure of the specific bacto species though...

And than figure out how the dog or cat got into your grow.

My man! Those are the rules.

Not flushing is wasting nutes and money.

At 3 cents per gallon I'm pretty sure I won't miss less than a dollar.

I'd love to see an article about this.

Lol! Yeah my proprietary super bacto are bred from this strain and you can find them here.

If you're really interested id call miracle grow....

Congrats on your 200th comment in 10 years by the way.

So weird how all these 10 year members are suddenly coming out of the woodworks to post.

I flush after a chorizo and egg burrito.

By far the most incredible burrito in the world. I always get weird looks when. I mention one.

Have at it.
University of Guelph paper- Flushing is a myth!

Abstract
[snip...]Three treatments; control (irrigation events every 1-2 days), mild-stress (irrigation events every 2 days), and moderate-stress (irrigation events every 3 days) were tested. The effects of flushing were also investigated to determine whether it had the intended effect of reducing nutrient concentrations within the dried bud. Through the use of psychrometers, water status (cWP) thresholds were correlated with humidity (cVPD) thresholds and reduced irrigation frequency resulting in water use reductions up to 45.7% which had negligible impacts on yield and cannabinoid profile. Flushing was found to be ineffective in removing any significant amount of nutrient from the bud.

If your weed is harsh, you didn't dry and cure properly. Period.

Well considering "organic" is merely a designation that just implies that synthetic chemical nutrients aren't used in the growing process I'm pretty sure that even if a bacteria was processing chemical derived salts that it wouldn't become "organic". Its origination in that case is not from organic matter... which is the whole point behind the "organic" designation. Organics isn't a scientific designation, it's more of a marketing designation.

I disagree with this. If it's not from synthetic sources it's organic. Doesn't matter if it was once pure nitrogen.

My comment had nothing to do with flushing. I was asking to see an article about the gentleman's claims that bacteria eats synthetic nutes and makes them organic. Thanks for providing a source tho!

I also disagree with this. Ime that just isn't true. You can tell me a cure is going to make that shit taste good. I don't flush or cure and my buds are superb.

A plant doesn't give a shit whether it's nutrients are organic or synthetic. Why does anyone else?

If you feed synthetic nutes to any crop it can't be sold as organic. Regardless if you're claiming that bacteria is processing a percentage of that synthetic nutrient before being utilized by a plant.
