So on the topic of flushing, I had asked why their last week of their grow guide it suggests a week of flush, why?
This is the response from Canna, I've had a few great emails with them.. Their customer service is absolutely on point.
Good question! flushing is a myth in terms of what people think it does, which is magically purging the plant from all its accumulated garbage.
That does not happen. what ever gets in and cannot be used, will be stored in plant material and will not be available again, even if you starve the plant for
a month.
the true side though is that in the last 7-15 days, nutrient uptake seriously goes down as the plant focuses on final ripening, therefore, adding nutrient could be akin to wasting money.
Boost helps the plant finish off the process that are begun, keeps photosynthesis more efficient, keep the immune system high, helps it focus on flowering by moving stored root energy upward where leafs/flowers can use it.
CANNAZYM, If you are re-using your growing medium, will help keep it clean to prevent disease on the new generation, but even if you are not re-using, it still helps keep the dying roots healthier.
(more or less an insurance policy, if everything is good and healthy, perhaps you can use the normal dilution (2.5/L) or less often or none a t all... that is very personal choice.
in the end if someone always ran on the hot, dry, overfeeding side, even if he flushes for a month the product will taste bad.
Curing time, humidity levels and even how tight the thing is rolled can make for a difference in burning qualities.
some genetics also naturally taste harsher than others, having a very high oil content (which should be good
can also create some coughing.
Cheers!
