Facts Behind Importance of Flushing

[Ricky Henderson]

Hello Rollitup,


I have read quite a few topics focusing around the arguments of whether flushing is extremely important for your finished products taste, to some saying that flushing is inadequate and never needed in a grow medium. I am however a strong supporter on the defense of flushing and its importance to a quality and fresh toke. Some people however I don't know if it's that they spend to much time getting high and not enough time educating themselves believe that a root structure of a plant and the nutrients and water it's being fed don't effect the taste of their medicine. That is just common sense. There are numerous things that build up in your medium that should be flushed out.


The roots are the beginning of the vascular system pipeline that moves water and minerals from the soil up to the leaves and buds. So by flushing the last three to five days with pure filtered water will remove any build up and feed your roots which in turn feed your buds with nutrient free water.

Smoke good and stay healthy, Ricky.

Good Luck trying to have a civil conversation here on this subject. I know all about flushing, have my meds tested 3 times a year...it is only common sense. I have shown these boyz(who Im sure will pop in to start shit) why, how, when and well its a joke what they do to threads. Sadly these trolls roam around just trying to muddy the waters so be on the look out for these fellows. You will soon learn who they are.

Please feel free to post your med results of flushing and not flushing showing toxic chem's etc of the not flushed.


In the UK there are no testing facilities that would do this for you.


Im still yet to be convinced by any pro flushers

im a week maybe 2 weeks away from deciding on weather or not to flush. my nute regime calls for the last 4 days to flush and the prior 3 days to hammer with sugar daddy (technaflora nute) at 40ml per gal).

That's some riveting and indisputable proof you provided, chap.

Thats funny as hell...^^^

 

[Nutty sKunK]

I guess it will effect in some way, because it has to. Whether it's good or bad is a different matter. If there is little difference then your just saving money on nutes? Makes sense..

Flushing is without a doubt one of the dumbest, most spread falsehoods of all time in the growing community! However, there is no point in arguing as people who believe in it will never change their mind. It's like religion, once they have been indoctrinated there is no turning back!

Please post the results of your testing as I am pretty sure has been requested about a million times of you when you use that as your argument every time.

I do not flush either and have no issues, I encourage people to do what works best for them and their skill level.

No one tells Ricky how to steal bases, lmao. In all seriousness though. I saw someone say they don't understand how pouring lots of water threw my grow medium will effect my buds. The same way pouring nutrient filled water will effect your buds. I seriously suggest some growers here look into scientific facts about plants and root structures. Some of you have quite the amount to learn and I believe I will never be done learning and perfecting my craft as new techniques and tricks come out every other weak. You just have to use your common sense with a little trial and error and ask your self which ones work and which ones don't.

I'm gunna go smoke some of this full melt though, love this shit.

Smoke good an stay healthy, Ricky

I don't feel free to post my info because of the bullshit storm that follows from the self proclaimed guru's here at RIU. So your saying that there are no test facilities where you live? There is no farming or vineyards around anywhere? Have a chat with them they will point you in the right direction. I spend over a $100 a year to assure myself and my patients the cleanest product I can produce. Look around on the web ask a few questions and you will find one. I'm tired of posting proof to only have it bantered and bullied by idiots that have no clue. I'm not giving out freebies here anymore, you want to flush, flush, if you do not want that's your choice also. I have read and enjoyed a lot of your posts and you seem to know the ins and out pretty good, please don't be like these other closed minded members that are not here to share but to argue. If you don't flush that is your decision but if you have not had anything tested then your better to bow out because really...without one you really don't know now do you?

Likewise!!!!! But at least mine is backed by ACTUAL proof, not 2 or 3 toolbags who think they know.

In the uk its illegal.

I couldn't approach anyone whether they be from a vineyard or not as it would create a shit storm for me.


One question.
Have you ever had a test come back positive for toxins?

Just wondering because you maybe throwing money down the drain.


I've tried both flushing and not flushing and also leeching.

Leeching has less of an impact with deficiencies.

But to be perfectly honest my tastiest buds have come from non flushing/leeching.


However I will state that I don't over feed my plants, I give them what they want when they want it.

Can you link to the proof that you have posted? I would like to see the test results of flushed vs non flushed.

He can't and won't. All it would take is that simple test to prove his point, Yet he comes here to ARGUE his point while blaming others for the same thing and calling them names. His tactics for proof are as lame as his growing techniques.

 

[ThorGanjason]

Yeah, it seems like posting these results would end their argument (if the results were as stated). I dunno why they won't post them; I'm inclined to agree with them (that flushing works) but the way they are acting like a shady prosecutor who claims to have "end all" evidence, yet refuses to show it, is making me think that maybe flushing is bullshit.
