Flushing? Thoughts

[lusidghost]

People are against it because it makes no sense and there is not good evidence supporting it. The leaves are where the plant makes its food. They grow horizontally and will angle themselves to catch the light while the buds grow straight up to shade the leaves as little as possible. Removing all the leaves to avoid shading the buds is just backwards. I'm sure you've had great results but showing your results are better than they would be if you had left the leaves on is not so easy. That's why people are justified in lumping it into the broscience category, not just because it's promoted by bros who grow.

While I agree that removing all of the leaves is a bit much, tons of people defoliate. Tons of people also train their plants in various ways. I probably wouldn't defoliate an outdoors plant. If a plant is making all of its food in the shade leaves, I would like to know how people are growing big colas, let alone making it to harvest.

Not having lime colored lower buds is a real thing. Move a single leave covering a bud and it will be lime colored. If you can't tell any difference aside from that aspect, then why not defoliate?

What's this with limey coloured lower leafs, I don't see this on my plants unless you're talking about lighter coloured larf?

When your lowers are covered by too much foliage’s they don’t get light and thus have no reason to create chlorophyl bc they receive no light and go lime green/albino

Some people harvest in stages to give the lowers light.

Where did you get this bs? Lol that’s not why people do it. The tops will most def finish faster than your lowers what are you talking about???

 

[Star Dog]

Yes but I'm using hydro.

One thing I noticed long ago is plants are in a constant slow motion battle for canopy space. If you have multiple plants under one light then they are trying to cock block each other for the sweet sunshine. I feel like a single plant does this to itself because it doesn't really care about overall weight or nice lowers, it just wants to spread its genes.

did you grow in soil with bottles/salts? If so then yes flush.

fully organic? No need.

Are you serious? No need to flush period unless you over fed the shit out of it to the point of burning it.

 

[twentyeight.threefive]

If your plants shit then you should flush.

It's smooth, no coughing, tasty, and even burning and popular.

 

[Lordhooha]

Get back when you harvest on time.

This is what it sounds like from someone that's never actually grown.

When I crack open an unflushed bud it's full of unused NPK powder. So I empty my bud powder into the res for the next feeding.

I just save the ash and mix it with water. Bam free nutes already converted too

Fk that it'll be all black, everyone knows unflushed burns black.

That just means more free nutes

Once you smoke black you won't go back
