Cool, you have a big plant and a little plant. Good job. Again, this isn't the topic, but I grow different strains than you. I don't focus on high yielding cash croppers. But I guarantee that I optimize the yield on them fuckers. Also, I didn't start the N debate, your buddy did. I've mentioned more than once that it was unrelated to flushing, or are you blind?

This thread has wasted too much of my time. I think I learned my lesson voicing my opinion on flushing. It's like religion. Later people.

Its pretty simple yes flushing has many benefits at end of harvest. The flush removes the excess build up during a grow which is why you flush during the grows for a day every 2 weeks or so. At the end you flush which dilutes any left over nutes in soil and in hydro it completely flushes chemical ferts and the plant takes up the diluted water mix until just water. This in turn removes any fert tatse and while doing so the buds will burn slower and not pop or spark. You also remove any nute taste left from the plants build up. This has been shown many times and has been proven so anyone who is saying otherwise is just full of shit and being a troll. It's real easy to prove to yourself. Grow 2 plants side by side flush during grow and at harvest time on one and dont do it to the other trim dry manicure and cure then smoke and compare.

Hes right, I grew Master Bubble clones from Harborside in FFOF side by side - flushed one and not the other. The plant that I did not flush and continued to nute was much harsher than the plant I flushed for 2 weeks.

I used the unflushed for butter..... pics :)

I grow in hydro, not organic, and don't flush. My weed is great, I never get any complaints, I smoke with other experienced growers, never any complaints from them either, just compliments. Maybe noobs that overfeed the shit out of their plants need to flush, due to the excess nitrogen which ends with more chlorophyll. You have the best around eh? I never take anyone seriously that makes those kind of claims. I've noticed people that don't have a whole lot of experience have a habit of saying shit like that. Fact is, you more than likely don't.

All you people that think you can taste chems, you're crazy. It's all in your head, or you're smoking on shit that hasn't been dried/cured properly, or pulled to early, or is just shitty genetics. If your shit burns funny and has black ash, it's because it's not dry. If your shit sparks and pops, its because you spray shit on your plants, and/or have bugs. Not a single scientific study has been posted that proves cannabis stores harmful chemicals from nutes in the buds. None. And your own biased taste buds don't count as a study. The human mind is easily fooled by itself. The Placebo Effect. Why don't tomato growers flush? 99.9% of a tomato is composed of water, wouldn't a tomato taste like nutes?

Your buds may taste good by not flushing chems. I bet they snap, crackle, and pop. Are harsh as f*ck. Of you say they don't. Your full of shit. no offense. But its literally impossible for that not to happen. Especially with an abundance of mag. I can show several studies from, oxford university, university of missourri, washington state, texas a&m.

Like I said before no need to flush if organic.. Must flush if there is inorganic salt build up. If you have high ppms. You definotely have build up.

If you argue this. You are wrong. Dont try it.

Then where's the studies? Don't just talk about them. And no, my bud doesn't snap, crackle, or pop. You are the one that is completely off the charts wrong. Lmao..."don't try it". Hahaha! So where's these "several" studies from multiple universities you're threatening to show? Why just make threats, bust that shit out! Or do they not exist?


And for the record I flushed for years. I'm not retarded, if my bud sparked or burned funny or tasted like chems, or was harsh, I'd fucking know it and I'd flush. You're not going to just pop in and school me. You picked the wrong target. I know enough to grow bomb ass plants and take bomb ass pics, but yet I'm dumb enough to smoke chemmy, crackling weed? Get real.

Healthy plants produce the best meds and those plants look like they had a hard life. If you had fed those plants correctly, you'd have kept your fan leaves, subsequently yielded more, and produced a 'higher scoring product'. It's too bad too because she looks like a potentially nice strain.

PM me your dude's contact info, I'll have him review some of my 'bad pot' ;). I'm serious though.

Hard To tell anything from that picture you posted... other than it has excessive leaf growth, and all the resin is clear...

Show us the longshot of that bud so we can see what it really looks like...

as far as sam's pic.... there's nothing wrong with it... it looks like it's at the end of the cycle and is using up nutes... yellowing is normal...

You're missing the point but if your goal is to harvest plants that looks like Sam's, have at it.

Looks is about all that fruit has - nothing like their lovingly (home) grown organic siblings. :cry:

Actually most commercially grown tomatoes lack in certain nutrients because those nutrients don't add weight, so they aren't used. If grown properly you'd never know the difference. Guaranteed.

I'll take your word for it - I've no connection to that industry & am ignorant of the nuances.
But I remember those years growing tomatoes in the back yard (down south) w/ composted manure & amendments.
No comparison.

I don't care who you are nothing beats the way my grandma taught me how to garden. We would throw all kinds of scraps and shit in our compost pile.

I love me some home grown tomatoes and peppers oh got my mouth watering again...Is it summer time yet?

Bums me out - our summers are too cold/short to get a good set of fruit without heating the green-house.
And that's expensive !
