There is a huge difference between leaching and flushing. I used to flush, then I leached, but now I don't do any of that because if you learn to fertilize your plants properly you don't need any of those bullshit myths. The product comes out clean and burns to a nice white ash. It is all about the art.
a tad but only in veg and I wait till they recuperate before flippin
Wrong. Necrosis has nothing to do with temp differential. Necrosis is either grower induced or environmental/chronological based. The reason that I instill at least a 15F drop in day temp highs to night temp lows is to prevent the carbos produced during the day from being used for the process of respiration at night as opposed to tissue production.
7' eh?
Like defoliating, that act will stunt the plant, at least for a while.
UB did make a comment, and he is very aware of the tomato grower trick of burying the stem and approves. The other trick works better on seedlings than on clones but if you remove the big fan under a branch, the plant will push that branch up to replace the leaf, tis how I got all those big colas
only do it in veg and wait till it recovers
It does work with some plants I have also seen some rot from doing that. I like to do that if I see those little white dots at the bottom of the stalk those are potential roots. I do know people that pull a ton of leafs off and stripping most of the branches I'm thinking wtf. Pruning sure defoliating fuck noUB did make a comment, and he is very aware of the tomato grower trick of burying the stem and approves.

Just saw Riddle's response and being we're both immersed in what makes a plant tick, his drill is excellent and something I've been recommending for 15 years. Any time you can increase root mass, do it. I use several drills to increase root mass both on a fun level and commercially:
