Back at you!

THE biggest mistake made here on the site, is early harvest!
It ain't done Mike! Your overall finish quality will improve if you wait...

Yeah, plants are done when their done. I have yet to have ANY plant finish "early" when it has been PROPERLY grown.

Don't cha love opinions......wait a week at least.
That would have to be a very common mistake. It's so damn tempting. Lol.
However I may be new but I'm not dumb. I'm in this to do it right. This is a business. I appreciate you and everyone else helping me make my my decisions. It's been great having the help. Probably saved me years of time if there were no riu...

CURE it rob! I haven't "flushed" in years!
I never have bad tasting or crackly weed......Not flushing isn't lazy it's not giving a proper cure as being impatient!

Nutrients are never "flushed" from a plant!

Flush debate everywhere I go. Lol.

I plan to cure this shit properly. I have jars and hygrometers and boveda packs.

I smoke about a gram a month myself. I just got a gram of some good shit. I'm a lightweight and heavy cigarette smoker and weed always makes me cough.

But this stuff... man it hits so smooth I don't cough. I can actually pull on it like a cig without fear of gagging and coughing up a lung...

Thats the shit I want . I figure I'll cure for two weeks then start tasting and hopefully 4 weeks will give me a great product..

I think lung expansion has nothing to do with curing. It's always a good thing, but some genetics provide less coughing. Especially some sativa dominants. Curing just reduces the harshness of the smoke (bad feeling in the back of the throat after inhale or exhale) and improves smell and taste. More curing can even make flowers more lung expansive, because right curing tends to increase the potency of the buds.

Flushing a plant doesn't mean flushing the nutrients out of a plant. It means NOT giving nutrients to plants in their last weeks of flowering and let them use their stored up nutrients. More importantly in coco and hydroponic systems. Organic is different.

Am I wrong? :confused:

Wow,,,dangerous possible answers here.

When I see "flushing" = That means dumping "whatever" amount of water - with or without a flushing "agent" to reduce nutrients in the plant! Makers of these agents say they do, yet science say's their not! COCO and HYDRO too! I mean I have old feeding charts that specify NO nutrients at all for as long as 2 weeks!.

(I always wondered on how they just proposed to do that in soil!)

While reducing nutrient levels to have the plant "use" more "stored" nutrition sounds neat. The bulk of that is in the roots anyway. Even if that nutrient "exchange" is happening,,,,,,where are those nutrients going?
Ummm, that's right,,,,,to the buds that your trying to reduce nutrient in. All the while the plant is attempting to hurry the hell up and finish - because it's getting LESS nutrients from where they normally come from, and it "thinks" it's dying so it's trying to "make babies" to carry on the line! STRESS, STRESS, STRESS!

Now how does this allow the plant to reach potentials?

Can you explain ? IMO. Curing only makes the leaf matter easier / nicer to smoke. I'd even put money on the flowers having a fractionally lower thc % due to degradation & general handling. As I say, my opinion

fair enough i to be honest have never cured unflushed weed as haveing in my head being unflushed is being shit so i move any unflushed bud i get but besides from that its not about flushing the nutes out at all its the salts and other by products from the chemical i always every time when i smoke unflushed buds it kills my lungs to a point of getting ventaline from the gp all other bud is fine i may have to try this cure thing idk think ill just stick to flushing i think

i would have to agree there when doing horticulture at uni we were tought that it was not the chemical itself but the salts and other by products that can leech into the buds and like u were saying can affect the bud tast and high

as the high cotent of salt would not burn right just what i learnt at uni

Ok, but that's still a "fade" style Rob! That doesn't work either.....second part of the post...

Here man, read this one - has my cure style in it.

You will hear all about flushing and amber trics, most of the time neither of them are true. Everything is just personal methods
