Hey... awesome.. I actually really appreciate fact, and undisputed scientific evidence... you can't argue it... it's science.. it just is... the end... and from that... I'd like to know your thoughts on flushing a plant to improve, and or reduce taste/smell... etc...^ dont get me wrong if there dead and necrotic and doing no good then yes, take them off. Everything else that is green and healthy leave them on. And your right it seems no can agree on this topic. Even though there is science to back it up. Strange huh. There are to many people advocating pruning of the leaves. There are some that says it helps when done right and at the right times but no one can seem to agree when and how much. I myself have not seen any evidence that this benefits my plants and no one seems to have any. I see way to people that expect there leaves to turn yellow during flowering as well. Why? Do you let any of your other plants leaves turn yellow? vegetables fruit citrus ? NO so why MJ. It this "weed" so special you have to do all these crazy things for it to grow. Too many people say this is a good thing and is whats supposed to happen. NO its not. Most the time is cause these snake oils and cannabis specific nutes have to muck P and K and not enough N to support foliage. I don't get it. Guess it bugs me but what are you gonna do. Try and help those that seem open to listening. Be careful what you read and what you follow on these forums. 75 % is bull shit. Ex : removing fan leaves. Flushing. But there is also a lot of great information on here as well. Hope it helps Good luck
I'm TOTALLY and completely green (I know..) at this, and just started a tub grow... I was under the impression that flushing the plant a week before harvest was a way to clean out the roots.
The concurrent water uptake would then assist with getting 'rid' of the extra pent up nutes... thus producing a better smoke?
No?
