Not flushed, no boiling water,grown organically and the taste is divine. I put them in a jar to cure in October still jarred up. I have grown 1000s of plants for realz. Been doing it for 20 years. The only time I ever needed to flush was when I was using chemical fertilizer and had a lock out issue. There was a time when I thought I knew everything and nobody could tell me shit. Then I grew up and started listening to the old hippies and gardeners. Now I do everything organic and wont even put fertilizer salts on my tomatoes. I think if somebody like doublejj, MD, or frenchy gave me advice I would say thank you and give it a go not give a rebuttal. Let me ask you what plants whether it be flowers or fruit do you flush to increase yield other than your pot?View attachment 3355560 View attachment 3355570 View attachment 3355578 View attachment 3355582 The only time I smoke other peoples pot is when they grow it the way I do. I just prefer it that way its very smooth and flavorful but hay to each their own right.

My goodness Dr! What's that pink one? I could have sworn I was done buying seeds for a bit, guess I was wrong.

Hrm, ok whatever.... I am OCD, its a problem I have dealt with for a long time and is also why I do experiments like the above, I cant help myself.

Does that make you feel better about yourself?

Are you really? Or are you making up excuses for your anally retentive behavior? Lining up pencils isn't OCD, someone HAVING to check that the door is locked fifteen times in just the right way is OCD. Checking that the stove isn't on in a specific way a specific amount of times. A compulsion that is almost uncontrollable, one that bothers the effected patient.

Do you have clinically diagnosed OCD? Have you actually been seen by a physician for this?

Do you ever count to a specific number, over and over when your mind isn't active on a problem or issue? Can you stop counting ever?

People need to stop misusing this sickness as an excuse to be anally retentive, if you indeed have OCD then you will only agree with me.

That last time I "flushed" a plant I was growing was during a lockout with synthetic fertilizers. Leeching is the proper terminology.

Last summer I ran six plants, all synthetic fertilizers. Three received leeching sessions during the last two weeks of flower as is the common forum 'advise.' The three that were leeched turned out to be around 10% less total dried flower product, the plants didn't appropriately finish.

I have been gardening since I was four, I planted my first sunflowers in the backyard garden. Since that Spring I have had a garden every year except for during business trips overseas. I have yet to leech a single plant that I grow for human consumption in my food garden, why the hell would I need to?

Edit: the six were the same cuttings.

Flush ye not. Or don't flush. Either way, I wouldn't flush.

One question, what do the purple hairs do color-wise as they mature?

That particular plant starts with purple hairs and stays purple all summer even when you dry it it has purple hair. It only does it outside though.

I'm gonna have to go back through this thread from page one and begin the likathon...

you really don't, it's people knowing so much that causes the problems. As UB would say. If you keep it simple stoner, you will grow Dank.

if everyone could grow there would be no market..but everyone can't.

that's why i always explain the basics to newer growers..don't be fooled by "status".

in this case, see my sig.
