it just starts killing your plant, the only benefit of it is a quicker dry time. the plant smell goes away with dry and cure... lmao
Flushing....Whats your technique?

and plants use the nutes as energy, the nutes don go into the bud. do some research on botany... gigantic tomato farmers dont "flush" their crops do they? no they dont.

Tobacco growers don't flush their plants either.
I didn't ask what you do with them.
why would they, they are just going to add hundeds of chemicals to it anyway... LOL

Obviously I didn't reserach how Phillip Morris does it you. I'm talking about the tobacco equivalent of pot farmers. Nobody talks about flushing anything else that I've been able to find. Tobacco is also cured for 1-2 years (for good shit, ~3 months for making your own cigarettes). As long as your bud has had an opportunity to fully cure, flushing is unnecessary. If you want to turn your bud over quick and have it less harsh, yes, starving it will also slows chlorophyl production and in the absence of a good cure you will be able to see a noticeable difference.
Anybody who cares about the quality of their product above anything else though will properly dry and cure to achive the best final product. THAT is true about both marijuana and tobacco. And as with tobacco (since it's done for the same reason), the longer the cure, the smoother the smoke and the better the product.

starving my plant would entail removing it from the medium completely and leeching every mineral and nutrient out of everything including stem leaves everything. moving it from the medium to the sewer forces it to use what its got stored. but thanks for trying and thanks for the tact! real classy guy you and k0ijn.. heh

just out of curiousity.. im wondering why arjan.. cervantes.... hans.... many others recommend flushing your plants? im gonna take their word for it and my own experience. these guys have grown more dope than i can shake a stick at. like i said.. do it your own way. this forum isnt for bashing people and calling them "new growers" and "pure genius".. its for helping people and supporting fellow growers. i know everyone has to grow up sometime and realize thats not the way that real people do it.. you know being sarcastic and having no tact whilst criticizing others. do it the way that works for you and do it good. whats the reason to come on a forum thats designed to talk, share ideas, and help others and one.. name call.. two... tell others theyre completely wrong based upon opinions that have no solid ground? come on people.. if youre going to use the net to do that.. i think yahoo chat is for you. if youre gonna say what you want to say.. be cool about it.

i also flush one time during veg which after.. the plants look healthier than they ever did before it and actually get a little growth spurt. roots love o2. bog them down with salts and just sitting there and my theory is they have to fight to get to it. flushing works mate. you should try it!

"New grower" is not offensive or in any way negative, it's explanatory and descriptive.
If you find those two words criticizing, well then that purely reflects on you.

^ agree
and as quoted from DJ Shorts Cultivating Exceptional Cannabis
“I end all nitrogen supplementation four to five weeks prior to harvest,and end all additives two to three weeks prior to harvest. I supply B-vitamin hormone such as "Super Thrive” up to the last week. I highly recommend a pure water flush for at least the last two watering times.”
I’m going with the last two as mentioned above, but think that I will definantly be conducting a flush experiment in a couple grows. I got some Chernobyl all lined up

WHen anything "starves" it begins to eat away at itself. If you don't eat for a couple days your body will begin to eat off of itself. That's not healthy.

This is how Jorge's book was written: he hung out on Overgrow for ~18 months and asked us a lot of questions. This isn't meant to take anything away from Cervantes. He's a reporter.
Your posts piqued my curiosity, so I took a look at your other comments. You're new to this, have virtually zero experience, from what I can tell have never harvested a thing. Having looked at the posts by several other individuals in this thread, they, too, have never harvested a thing. Really, I'm baffled by this. How in the world can you argue so adamantly and so aggressively, when you have no actual experience with this topic? Many folks come to this forum for information. What value can this so-called information have, when it's being asserted by folks who simply parrot a bunch of hearsay? Tell me this is a joke. Please.

to simply call Cervantes a reporter is underestimating his stature. I stand by what I said- in some cases flush is necessary, ie heavy synthetic nutes (humbolt count was found to have a carcinogen in one of their nutes) or heavy nutes in general. If there is an imbalance causing poor ph, flushing with just water the lat couple weeks would even it out to allow the plants to better absorb nutes (Im sure plenty of growers including me have used too much nutes w out adjusting and checking ph).
There are uses. If your organic, have ur ph right on, ect, maybe its not so needed. But to each his own. I use fox farm trio and cal mag, somemolassis, and havent noticed much different between flushing and not. But Im more on the natural, organic side than alot of nute brands imo.
that said, there are situations where just water the last week or two will help. It is not always needed. Compromise?

so what made you think i was a new grower? does creating an account on rollitup mean someone just started growing to you? that post said a lot mate. calling me a new grower is offensive.. yes. i asked you earlier on if thats YOUR grow in your sig? i was just wondering.

a dying plant is healthy? this is purely removing what we as humans dosed it with. its going to die anyways. of course a human not eating is unhealthy. i dont see one thats planning on suicide not eating as unhealthy though.
