The pot i grew in soil, had slow release ferts in it. i did stop using my others nutes nearing the end, never really "flushed" the soil.

It tasted better than any of the shit around here.

I believe abudsmoker is correct in the respect that, it's sort of like the never ending lighting debate. Some people do it, others don't. I didn't, and I love the flavor of my smoke.
Peace

i flush my plants im not listening to any1 about this subject because i like the outcome better when i flush my plants so why should i change?


theyres no reason to

this is a good thread..its things like this that needs to be asked so everyone can put their 2cents in..I wish I had something to contribute but Im not that experienced yet

I like both sides of the debate..lets keep this going

Good advice NGT, FLUSH YOUR DUNG! LMAO

I am just smoking the results of my second organic grow. This time I flushed for two weeks before harvest with nothing but water. The last time, I flushed for only 3 days. Both times I used the same Earth Juice nutes (the full line), and let me tell you this time the bud tastes 100% better and the ash is a light grey instead of darker w/black spots. I am pretty sold on this flush idea I think.

What if for the last two weeks I switch to a organic tea fertilizer and skip the flush alltogether? Will the bud taste like crap? LOL, I don't know, I have been using FloraKleen during the first few days of the flush, then plain PH'd water for the rest of the week. I feel like they slow down in growth alot, but, I think they would do that anyhow...But I am thinking about doing the tea idea just to find out myself..

I use organic nutes and i think the final flush is needed and makes the taste far more smoother and sweeter

Organic nutes that help with added taste to your buds. All the goodness from them nutes are well inside your buds by this stage and all the shit is in the soil still and salt build up and what other crap thats been left ,
It just means u can feed a bit longer but to be honest there wasent to much diffrence except the 1 i flush had a smoother less harsh taste .... i suppose thats a big diffrence

and i think for growing out doors organic well its a bigger field bucket loads of rain just wash that meters deep and wide

There is a big difference between a final flush and simply witholding nutes the final 2 weeks. Easiest on the plant to just give plain water and molasses. You will accomplish the same thing the chemcials will be washed out of the plants systems but with a leech it will be much less stessful on the plant. I don't want to stress out my plants that are trying to focus their energy on making yummy buds.
