I wasn't kidding about the peppers. I hope someone tries it.

Maybe someone should try flushing peppers. Who knows, it might cause them to boost the amount of capsican (sp? the stuff that makes them hot). The crazy people that eat ghost and scorpion peppers would love it. Also if we were eating the flowers maybe we wouldn't want flushing. It might be...

I don't see how you stating it makes it absolute. Why do you think scientific theories change? Because new info comes out. Science gets flipped upside down sometimes. Maybe the people doing the scientific test had a subconscious bias against flushing. It has been proven that the tester can have...

Actually I was searching the forum for advice on drying and curing and I came across this thread. Hold on. I'll go read the entire drying/curing section. I'll be back in a few weeks.

You mentioned The Rev. He does his TLO style right? I believe he makes his own compost teas, worm castings, and organic composts. I don't think he uses any name brand fertilizers but I might be wrong. If I am correct though this could be why he doesn't need to flush. Maybe the more natural the...

I just don't see why there can't be a discussion. Why not put out your point without being condescending?

I'm trying to encourage thought. What are you doing?

There aren't many plants on the earth that get fed the way we feed cannabis. Maybe that is why flushing is necessary.

Can you expand on that?

I've also tried doing with and without the 3 days of darkness. I couldn't tell a difference either. I think that is more something that you need special equipment to discern. If there is a difference it is hard to tell through the senses.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that. There have been tests that prove stress will boost THC in a plant. At least there were half a decade ago. New studies may have come out since then. In the wine industry there is a saying "a stressed vine makes great wine." Vineyards want minimal water...

there are a few "myths" out there about boosting THC at the end too. I say "myths" because I don't know if they are true or not. The first is that starving at the end causes them to produce more THC. The other is putting them into complete darkness for the last few days. Supposedly they both...

So you're saying if I lower N, Cal, and Mag towards the end then flushing is not necessary? It would be good to keep feeding the plant and boost the yield at the end. If that is the case then I can also see how the idea of flushing had become so mainstream. If you didn't lower them then flushing...

So would flushing have any effect on the sugar levels in a plant?

AZ thanks for the positive feedback :)
