water them, don't water them, 72 hrs dark, 24 hrs light bullshit - none of it will matter at this stage it's just internal plant metabolism going on

all the discount dept stores have them

Some people think things taste better if you pray over them or perform some other ritual. I'm beginning to think flushing is just that - a ritual performed by true believers.

And fortunately, everyone on the internet agrees and there are no conflicts that might confuse a newcomer.

This is a very good question! I like to say that your harvest from your first grow should be measured entirely in how much you learn. You are supposed to have a learning curve or you're not learning. I'd say I got it dialed in on about my 4th or 5th grow. Also, it helps a lot if you pick a good...

I think his biggest concern is that won't leave much amperage to run anything else. He might find himself tripping breakers all the time, and shutting down his lights without him knowing it.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! This is exactly what they think. It goes with the belief that you can add flavorings that somehow make their way to the buds. Plants take what they need from the soil or water and they metabolize it. At the point most of you are flushing (unless you are doing it...

What kind of light do you have? Those buds are very small. I would say it has a good month to go. By the way, flowering time and time on 12/12 are not the same. It takes at least a week on 12/12 for flowering to begin. So you are really at 6-7 weeks of flowering. And a sativa can easily take...

Stealth Hydro is a joke. It's all marketing hype. You can easily build a much better system yourself.

I don't know where this is coming from. I dry buds just fine in humidity in the 30s. The danger of drying too fast (which pretty much requires something artificial) is that the buds are still wet on the inside and curing is not done properly leading to mold. I see no evidence that stretching out...

I'm close to harvest and mine will be drying in humidity in the 30s which is just fine.

I don't get it. Why would you think that leaving it undried would improve preservation? It wouldn't. Dry it and cure it when it's ready, or don't grow it.

When people buy a product, or buy in to a technique, they "want" to believe it works. So they do.

From what you say, harvest it. But for the future, invest in a school microscope for $30 or 40 on ebay so you can look at the color of the trichomes.

What I'd like to see is something from a person with scientific credentials in botany tell me what the flush does in terms of plant physiology and why it improves taste or anything else. Do plants release something nasty back into the plain water? I don't think they do. Do plants have a hard...

So, how do you cure? What were you doing before that wasn't curing? I put dry buds in mason jars and open them every day for 10 minutes and do that for a month. Then I continue to open them every few days for as long as I remember which is about another month.

It's never been proven that flushing does anything. It doesn't matter how many people believe otherwise. It's a feelgood thing. If it makes you feel good, do it.

I think we can conclude that there is no documentation and no real basis for the flushing legend.

They'll keep growing. Flourescents just don't do a very good job.

It's amazing how many legends and folk wisdom there is on this stuff. When you hear about these tricks, ask for an explanation of exactly how the plant does something different.
