Last Week or Two Flowering, Flush??

I'm glad you asked, if look closer you'll see capillary matting hanging from the stem leading to the jug, while the plants were finishing I tapped off plants sap through the capillary matting and tested its ec.

The truncheon doesn't lie.
why?...just curiosity? .....¿ different plant material absorbs different amounts of cations at different rates...if you want to know whats in a bud, test a bud...although i don't think you'd get any useful information from that either, really..

1st and foremost I'm happy with what I do, I'm the one smoking it.
Enlighten me? what does "where the pre flush picture" actually mean?

Folk want to shout you can't flush nutrient from a plant lol, well that's absolutely pish and I proved it and that's clearly an issue with some?
There's too many experts and not enough growers on this forum, like you and bk, two major dick heads the forum would be better without.

@twentyeight.threefive are past your 2nd grow maybe your 3rd by now :-)...
you can "flush" the sap out of a plant by over watering it, thinning the sap down so it will read weaker... you can NEVER "flush" a cation of any nutrient out of a plant, they bond to the plants and become part of it's makeup...can you flush the molybdenum out of a rock? ...no, it's integrated into the makeup of that rock...just like the cations of nutrients that a plant actually uses to feed itself become integrated with that plant...
"flushing" remains something better done to toilets than to plants...ask any real farmer about flushing..they won't know what you mean, because there is no crop in existence that they do that to... they only do that in very extreme cases where something has gotten onto the field by accident or in error....like a river floods and chemical waste from some facility upstream settles onto an active field, it has to be removed before the field can be used again...they've never "flushed" to get rid of excess nutrients in any crop, of any kind, anywhere, ever....

Some people just don't get it. I say let them flush the shit out of their plants. Ultimately they're the only ones that suffer. Lol

Yes I know you can't reverse the process I've never suggested that you can, what I'm clearing is unprocessed nutrient.

You're right. Well done. Where are you publishing your proven scientific experiment. I'd love to read it.

Speaking of second and third grow. How’s your fourth coming so far?

why?...not trying to be a dick, just actually curious...the plant isn't growing anymore, it won't consume anymore nutrients...they can't be worth reclamation...so why bother?

I’m lost. Did he just drill a hole on the base and stick a sock in there and call it a day.
“Like yup. My science is right”


What’s the back up to all this? What gave the idea? This is a normal thing?
I continually read you can't flush nutrient... That didn't make sense to me, if a plant takes up nutrient it doesn't magically turn to water, all I done was prove that in fact you can flush nutrient out its system by testing the sap.
I never claimed it was scientific but it did prove my theory thats all.

You proved absolutely jack squat

Give yourself a pat on the back bro, good job.

Did you collect xylem or phloem sap?

You didn't prove any theory, you proved confirmation bias.

That was done when the plant was actually growing, the pics is only the end of my research lol.
