My opinion on flushing cannabis. (Yet another)

Here’s where I’m at folks after 3 years of reading and growing.

Year #1. Outdoor plants

Grown in lots of cow manure and top quality native soil in the back 40. Manure was well rotted. Harvested from oct 1 to oct 20.
Many varieties.
All of them were the most disgusting smoke ever. Black resin immediately. Terrible burn. Terrible everything. Worst garbage ever.
But the plants looked beautiful and were tall and healthy. Tight buds good weight. I read up on how to dry and cure and had that working great. That was not the problem.

Year # 2 Outdoor plants

I figured manure was the culprit so I just planted in soil in the back 40 and gave it granular ferts once only in spring. That’s it. Our soil is good here naturally and these fields were being farmed. So lime and nutrients were there already.
The end product is junk.
Poor burn
Poor taste
Poor everything.
But slightly better then year 1

Year #1 and #2 indoor grow tent.

I finally got the hang of how to grow indoors during all this time as well. After many embarrassing crops I finally got a half decent idea what I’m doing.

Then the second last crop in my grow tent I accidentally burnt the plant a tiny bit with nutrients at week 4 of flower. It was in pro mix with added perlite. So I gave it a decent flush. Then proceeded to never fertilize it again because it just never showed any real need untill it was getting to be too late to add nutrients. That was 30 days of clear water. Nothing else.

Results.

Cleanest smoke I’ve ever had.
White ash.
Ash falls with a slight tap.
No resin at all.
Not the most potent but my guess based off trying government buds is that it’s less then 15% thc.
No paranoia
No headaches

The smoothness of this stuff is better then I’ve gotten at the government store as well. That’s right. The stuff the government sold me. Still doesn’t sound right.

So I’m sorry uncle Ben and all the no flushers but from now on im a flusher.

Smoking quality grown herb is something I didn’t experience on the east coast before mail order BC Bud.
Thank you British Columbia

Feeding only what the plant really needs almost to the last watering. Tapering up as they peak and then back down as they ripen will give tastier and more potent smoke. And higher yield.

Cant speak to what is in your soil outside but i wouldnt grow in natural soil without testing and ammending if needed first.

I have tested known cuts flushed and fed every which way. I have even stopped buying bloom nutes and use a grow ratio all the way to the end.

Thanks guys. I’m not saying I did the right thing with clear water for 30 days. Only that I have lbs of buds and will only smoke that 1 plant. The rest of my crops are fit for the compost.

Its cool, your only trying and going of what you get.

Have you tried a basic ice water extraction.on the crap stuff? Could be some ok hash in it and its real easy just shake with iced water and watch the trichs sink whilst plant matter floats then filter dry and smoke.

Watering is flushing ?
Do you flush your lawn or water it?
Do farmers irrigate their crops or flush them?

Yes drying and curing make a difference. That was the lesson you should of learnt rather than belive in Hogworts and vampires.
On another note id so love to be a vampire...

Ya I am a farmer and I’ve never heard of flushing anything before that’s for sure. But we don’t smoke out soybeans and barley either.
Like I said I’m not here to argue just saying my outdoor sucks and was cured the same way as my delicious indoor.
Likley reason was the lower level of nutrients throughout the plantst entire life. Not the 30 day vampire flush.

Ya as white as ash gets anyway? That’s funny?
Yes the bro science of white ash is funny. Ashes from wood or plant matter is mineral and metal residue. Its where the "potash" comes from for potassium.

So thanks to the people that helped me michmedgrower , charface, kingrow. Great info
Kryptobud thanks for belittling me.
You weren't looking for help where you? You didn't have a problem calling people by name or telling them they were wrong, so why the sensitivity when it comes back.
