If you use coco, than flushing for almost 2 weeks is hurting the plant. Coco has no nutrients in itself(only the chemicals you feed them) and the buds will grow the most and put on the most weight in those last 2 weeks. Now why would ANYONE starve a plant during the most important time of it's life? In fact, anyone that is serious about coco feeds it 2 to 3 times a day(even more) at a lower dosage of nutrients. Truthfully, coco should never be flushed for that and the fact that it can build up salts in the root systems if constantly flooded with water just for the fun of it. As for the idea itself, organics have no reason to be flushed. It's all natural. I don't grow that way but don't see large numbers of organic growers say they nees to flush. I guess that leaves hydro and regular store bought soils that need to be fad after the first 3-5 weeks. Either way, i don't believe you can force the plant to push out something in it's system by starving and flooding it with water. Just like a piss test, you can delute the THC by drinking gallons of water, but it leaves the body when it's ready, not based on the fact that you think you drank enough water XDI've always flushed for the fear of tasting chemicals, I thought it was a standard procedure with growers.
I've not given this any thought until recently but sometimes I'll cut a low branch or two and hang them in the tent 3/4 days and it's smokeable, it's not prime bud but it isn't remotely chemically or bitter etc so I've no problems accepting flushing is a waste of time.
I've flushed for 10/12 days then been disappointed with the end product I'm now wondering if it played a part in the disappoint? it has happened a couple of times and the weed did have a lovely smell when growing?
Sounds about right!I know you guys are a bunch of hippies. I lived there for bit. This girl I knew took my friend and I to the river when we visited her in the Nevada City/Grass Valley area. It was a part of the river where all the hippies were naked, and smoking weed. I kept my clothes on, but smoked their weed, lol.
Trump isn't worth billions though, he'd be lucky enough to claim himself in the millionaires club given all of the many things he has squandered ... 3 casinos, an airline, a mortgage company, a magazine, a 'university', steaks ... water. Oh and democracy.Flushing was invented for 2 reasons. 1 for companies to make $$$ from flushing products and 2 for "flushers" to seperate themselves as having better product than "non flushers". No different than money being invented to seperate and control between those that have more than they need and those that have less than they need. Trump has BILLIONS of $$$ and makes up stupid words like Hamburderger. I dont3 make much at all, maybe $19k last year outside of taxes, but i got some pretry damn good common sense. Flushing is just like the soil or hydro or hps or led argument. Would Batman be Batman if there were no Joker???? Think of that friends. That what "flushing" is just something to make one set of growers more important or better than others based on word of mouth and not even facts since every single piece of flushed and non flushed weed isn't sampled by every person in the wold for a vote.
I'm just saying that normally money vs not money makes people supposedly better in life. I dont think anyone is better than me bases on money alone, but that was the point of money. Fake seperation of peoples.Trump isn't worth billions though, he'd be lucky enough to claim himself in the millionaires club given all of the many things he has squandered ... 3 casinos, an airline, a mortgage company, a magazine, a 'university', steaks ... water.

For years I did security at a large yearly agricultural fair. Funny thing was most had no idea of the people they were looking at. Half the ones in the fancy parties were in rented tuxedos. Then you go downstairs and see a guy walking around in overalls covered in cow shit. Half the folks dressed up had nothing while the guy downstairs in the overalls was worth millions. Money doesn't make anyone a better person, actions do.I'm just saying that normally money vs not money makes people supposedly better in life.
