That's simply not true.

Which "chemicals" do you think are responsible for affecting the taste?
Fertilizing all the to harvest day for starters. Second would be over fertilization.
3rd would be poor essential oil production due in part from excessive feeding and overall poor metabolic functions.

As far as the "chemical" tasting bud... that's the one and only thing you took away from what I said huh. OK then, I was wrong, there's no chemical taste to weed that's overfertilized or poorly grown. It just tastes like shit and is extremely harsh and burns on the throat hit. Should I have said fertilizer residues instead? Or is that not a real thing and completely un true.

So i've been doing some research on flushing with dry amendments before harvest such as gaia green 284. I read multiple places that a flush is not needed. saying that the plant will stop feeding it self from the microbes when its nearing its time for harvest. does anyone have any experience with this? Do you keep top dressing till a few weeks before harvest or do you give the last feed 5 weeks before harvest?
I use Gaia green and just tap water. I usually do my last top dress 2-3 weeks before chop. I also reuse my soil so if it doesn't use up all of what I top dress it will be mixed in when I reamend my soil. Definitely don't need to flush in organic soil. I'm pretty dure you don't want to flush even if your using bottled nutes. I think you just want to taper it off in the last 2 weeks.
I wouldn't listen to the person preaching Mr Canuck as he's not that good a grower.

Oh thanks, I'm going to go fertilize the shit outta my beds. The ends justify the means I suppose. After all, it's all about cropping lbs
You moved the goalposts from feeding with synthetic nutes to over feeding with synthetics. That’s not really a fair way to play the game is it?

It's clear you don't have an adequate understanding of plant nutrition; that's fine, everyone is always learning.

It's unfortunate that you either lack basic reading comprehension or willfully distort what was said.

Experiences? Why don't you do a side by side and find out for yourself? All you're going to get from another flushing thread is the same old song and dance. Most are going to tell you that flushing doesn't flush anything out of the buds but you're going to get a few sticklers that claim it removes the chemical taste and makes the ash burn white. That cannabis broscience is here to stay. Nutrient companies are explicit in spreading that nonsense as they want people to buy their "Flushing" products. Flush or don't. The topic is definitely not worthy of another thread. There's already a couple hundred.

As for what people can and can't post it's interesting to know that you are the post gatekeeper.

you don't have to justify your posts to other forum readers at all. they are guests here as we all and their personal frustration is their own problem. noones forcing them to read threads anyway. a forum is a place to meet people and have some conversation and we do that by writing down letters here...

that said, mineralic feedings introduces some substances like EDTA which are not to be found in nature; and renders down available compounds to ~~20, and terminates some self-control of what it likes to take in

organic feeds offer ~~1000 various molecules that microbes release in water and resembles much more the processes going on in that plants natural habitate

that said a plants metabolism sinks down towards it end, there it needs less food naturally too

IMO, for smooth, palatable smoke, proper drying/curing technique > flushing.

Focus on that.

That is terrible advice.

Do not look up canuck unless you want terrible grow information and plants that end up looking like crap.

These nasty plants are taken from canuck videos. They're examples of what not to do. It defies logic that anyone would look to that guy for growing advice.



Those bottom plants look defoliated for incoming RAPID explosive growth!
