I'm a professional grower. Look me up on IC. Since you like to hear the voice of authority, my tutorials are posted all over the net, my plants and extracts have been used in advertising, and I do not flush. I do control the plants' nutrient intake and gear it appropriately toward harvest.
Containers are more likely to accumulate salts, therefore containers are more likely to require periodic flushing to eliminate excess salt buildups. You're not going to have that problem in the earth unless you're way overfeeding, and even then there's still no container to facilitate the kind of mineral buildups that get people into trouble.
Translocation in late bloom.
I agree. One must periodically flush their system to prevent toxic salt buildup. But that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about the prolonged week to two week flush people do at the end of flower. I don't agree with it anymore, but still purge my system weekly between water changes.
I have three times! but what would be the point in posting the results. If I came to a conclusion you didn't agree with on say taste how can I proove this too you over the internet? this is why I haven't wasted the time to do a journal. I've done it 3 times each time I had bomb as nug and couldn't tell a single difference in yield nor could I tell a single difference in plants that were flushed and not. SO how can I do the test and get you to believe the results? If I say I can't taste a difference it's not something you can see in a forum.
In nature, plants do not get salt buildup. After reading the last few posts I may have come up with something good. I know LordJin does true aero and is a master at it (if you're not you just have dead plants). I love growing in hydro for many reasons, control being #1. I can see there being a buildup on salts in soil, but not hydro. What if someone growing in containers flushed two weeks before the chop, getting rid of all the buildup, then went right back to giving nutes. Would that be beneficial? Would it not solve both problems of flushing and giving the plants their nutes to the end? It's just an idea that I would like to see discussed.when it rains, your plants get flushed. plants grow naturally outside. recreate nature for A+ buds.
Its a shame you dont know what your talking about. thank goodness for the ignore function....
As are most experienced growers.
When it rains your plants gets flushed? And does God remove all the nutrients from the earth during this flush?plants love a good flush whether in soil or h20. my plants always look alot better a week after a good flush. when it rains, your plants get flushed. plants grow naturally outside. recreate nature for A+ buds.
You know how many grows I fucked up before I figured out flushing is bullshit? Frustrating. In my system flushing not only doesn't improve anything, it causes the plants to rapidly feed on themselves, which reduces final potency. That 's what I get for believing all these myths about flushing. There was even a point when I was preaching the virtues of flushing at one of the local clubs. What an idiot. Good thing there weren't any growers around at the time. Lol.
I'm right there with you bro. I've said many times that I've discovered probably every possible way to fuck up a grow; I've done it all. Fortunately I've learned from those mistakes and not made them again. Even harder than growing is sorting out the junk on here. There are so many myths that are just plain wrong. Take a gardening class and become a "Master Gardener" like Uncle Ben; that will teach you more about how to grow this stuff than anything.
I knew there was a valid reason I don't flush in-ground grows. Flushing is necessary for Fox Farms apparently though, they sell there own flush...gee I wonder why.
