Flushing....Whats your technique?

[wbd]

you should feed all the way to harvest. dont use straight water, you need to feed till the end. you are compermising your yeild, dont ever use just water you need to keep feeding till the end..... BAHAHA I feel like a Pot star now... lol

I've never heard of a study or experiment that found conclusively that yield or quality is in any way affected by flushing. Have you? If so, please share.

I realize the theory behind "starving" a plant before harvest suggests that yield and quality would be affected, but from what I can gather for myself it seems most people who experiment conclude that there is "no difference" between flushed and unflushed bud. Myself included.

And to be honest, because of how much variance there is in nature, if someone here did claim to notice a difference in yield between flushed and unflushed, I would disregard as bullshit anyhow. You'd need a LOT of plants in such a study to reach any sort of acceptable statistical group.

and even then the genes in each plant play such a strong role in how a plant develops even with hundreds I don't see how anyone could come with a sound conclusion on increased/decreased yields.

If we can at least keep it factual and informational instead of turning it into a poo throwing fight.
I have had to delete some posts, name calling, harassment etc will not be tolerated.
Please just keep it an informational and grown up discussion.

i think flushing a lil like once a month threw the whole grow will help prevent salt build up and nute lock out. Yeah if ur doin it right the build up shouldnt be a problem but we all make high mistakes every once in a while ; a lil too much nutes here or there. For the end of the grow season i just cut back on the nutes i use and for the last few days i just use my honey and sweetners till finish... i dont kno bout you guys but i can tell a nicely flushed plant compared to a not flushed at all plant, theres extra salts and additives dat the greenery taste alot better without these high levels of salts.. SN: if ur flushing with jus water u dont need to ph control the water because the ph level is what absorbs ur nutrients thru the roots. So plain water will make the plant use more of its built up ferts. MY OPINION FROM EXPERIENCE AND READING THOUSANDS OF PAGES ABOUT GROWING MARYJANE AND OTHER PLANTS.

Grow right in a soil medium, and flushing becomes as irrelevant as...

LOL, it was a sarcastic joke towards the entire concept and numerous threads devoted to flooding plants.

Jesus the only end to this fight is doing it for yourself. Ive smoked from my garden flushed and unflushed and didn't notice a difference. My friend that grows literally down the street from me flushes and he notices a big difference. Its all personal preference people. So try out both and see what YOU think. Thats the only way.

Its an amazing plant that will never cease to amaze you. Once you realize it only goes as far as you want it to, everything changes. Flush or not flush its all personal preference. Just like lights, nutes, temps, strain etc. So stop arguing and just enjoy how truly amazing this plant is. I know I am.

That's the biggest crock of $h1t Iv ever read...lights, nutes, temps are NOT personal preference as you seem to claim. They need strong lights, a sufficient level of certain nutrients and perfect temperatures to grow properly. Yes you can
make it about "personal preference" if you want, but giving advice contrary to how plants are supposed to grow is stupid.

Too many stupid noobs that think it's all about getting a medal just for participating...no there is a clearly defined right and wrong way to grow plant, why does everyone insist their way is supposedly special?

How are lights, nutes etc. not personal preference? Is someone forcing you to use a particular light setup or brand of nutes? Please explain what bad advice I gave.

Could you point me to the study that demonstrates actual, measured (not theoretical) loss of productivity in crop due to pre-harvest flush?

I'm getting tired of checking these threads every day looking for actual evidence of this. All I see is people copying and pasting from botany books and expressing their feelings.


Any day now...
