U can get good bags called sprung bags shipped to u in us for 79 dollars. Pretty bomb deal if u ask me. High quality bags, used them twice with good results, looks like they'll last a lifetime if washed and taken care of.

hey do anybody have any experience with flushing for two weeks or giving straight water to the plant two weeks before harvest?? does it really effect taste, harshness and the way the bud burns?
just too many opinions out there.
was going to give them water with nutes tonight, then on monday the 28th. then a really good flush til i see clean runoff. then i was going to do the drown the roots technique til the 3rd or 5th of july. is this enough flush or should i flush the 28th and the 30th then drown the roots? one gallon of water in my 5 gallon pots gives me about 1/5 of a gallon of runoff. was going to slow dry them. atleast 7 day dry
what yall think? or should i just flush now and til harvest?

i had a friend who went ape shit with the nutes until a day or two before harvest, and when you smoked the shit it about choked you out and burnt your nostril hairs gone. and what i have done with success for flushing IS the last 2 weeks, when you water them you use 2 or 3 times as much water as you usually do, if it was 1 gal use 2 or 3. It was blueberry and white widow and it really brought the flavor out. this specific grow i'm talking about were actually clones off of her mother plant and were sisters of the same ones she "chemically enhanced". My nose hairs have since grown back. Good luck, hope you get sum tasty buds.

ok well i guess ill give em one last nute run today then start flushing. btw im trying something new where you fill the pots full of water ( none of the water drains) and start fermentation which normally starts during the cure. have you done any grows where you gave them 1 or 2 really good flushes instead of the 2 week flush? my friend tried a side bud of my SLH and he said it was insane tasty. and really smooth so idk. btw using the FF granular trio, open sesame, beastie, cha ching

i haven't heard of that but it is very interesting. i have another buddy who has tried a 3 day mega-flush his first try, with the same ww and bb clones from the same girl, and it still had a hint of the nostril singe but not as much harshness. he did dump a shit load of water through them though. i have just been too scared to try anything quick and last second since then. keep the info coming on that strategy you're trying and give us some smoke reports and all that good stuff. i'm always in for trying something new, especially something that won't kill my nostril-fro. Good luck w/ it!

ok. because my theory is, with the drowning roots thing, is that the whole point of the 2 week flush isnt necessarily to get all of the nutes out of the soil, which you do on the first or second flush, is to be givving the plant only water for the 2 weeks. as i understand it. this in turn tries to replace the chem ferts out of the plants with just water. also why some people will use molasses with their flush water. well if my roots are completely drowned in water, this would in turn, hopefully, do the same thing since it is constantly sucking that water up through transpiration to get oxygen to the roots. this would, again hopefully, clear out most of the nutes in the plants and buds in that 3-5 day period. this technique is better explained in another thread by Riddleme. Riddleme also never flushes at the end. and gets good clean smoke with completely chem ferts. he says that the harshness and such is due to lack of drying techniques as he dries his bud for 2 weeks, veeery slow dry. im going to slow dry mine for 7-10 days. also supposedly that harshness is due to the abundance of chlorophyll that wasnt evaporated in the bud. do you think your friends dried too fast or incorrectly.

Drying is more important then flushing by far. 5-7 day dry is fine, but like wine the more the better, just don't invite molds. I flush to save money rofl, it doesn't seem to hurt the plants at all, and that's a 30 dollar rez change I can put towards the next grow
After week 6 most of my growth is done, and the nutes don't seem necessary for the buds to mature up. Usually just do a 1 week flush, but I let plants go 2.5 weeks on plain water and they were remarkably FINE.

ok so a week flush i should be fine with a 7 day dry. giving them a heavy flush, enough til i see clear to almost clear runoff monday night, then one more then the drowning of the roots will begin. thank you ak49th and someguy. was thinking i may have ruined and screwed up all my hard work, just wanted someone with more experience than me for reassurance

tired right now.. but I didnt flush last grow and the bud was kinda harsh and didnt taste great.. it may of just been the strain though.. not sure.. this grow i didnt flush either, but i gave em a good 2+ weeks plain water.. everything tasted very good.. so i dunno if its a myth or not but id just do it to be safe..
