How come every so often when somone pass's me a joint of crap weed i can actually taste the smell of the nutes (im so used to the smell of my nutes i notice it straight away)
often when i get that taste the weed doent burn properly.

I flush mine for a week always have some of the comments i get are "thats the nicest tasting weed ive smoked in years" "its a really clean smoke" "only had weed like this in amsterdamn"
I actually had some weed from a friend which smelt and tasted of tomato food it was horrible but i could actually tell it was a nice strain so i asked if he could get me a cutting i put it in with my blue cheese flushed for a week and hung for 10 days it was like totally diffrent weed his tomato plant/food tasting weed i couldnt smoke, the one i grew i couldnt get enough of.

if you read

https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/409622-truth-about-flushing.html

you will understand...

Many influences play key roles in the taste and flavor of the final bud, like the nutrition balance and strength throughout the entire life cycle of the plant, the drying and curing process and other environmental conditions.

Drying and curing (when done right) on the other hand have proved (In many studies) to have a major impact on taste and flavour, by breaking down chlorophylls and converting starches into sugars. Most attributes blamed on unflushed buds may be the result of unbalanced nutrition and/or overfert and unproper drying/curing."

Its impossible for your plants to taste of nutes, they are transformed into other shit. ie food. When you get harsh tasting weed, they have either dried it too fast and not cured it right. Proper Curing makes it taste better. IMO but I know fuck all. lol

Yes i read it, its just my 1st ever grow i did x9 blue cheese in soil 1200 watt which produced 32oz (dried) of the best weed ive ever smoked (that includes Amsterdam) so since that gro seemed perfect ive always tried to recreate the exact same enviroment.
Im a firm believer in if it aint broke dont fix it, also my weed mentor (growing for 20 years and runs a Hydroshop) who came round to check my crop and smoked plenty of it said to me "Whatever you did keep doing it thats bloody nice weed dude"

So tbh i read The truth about flushing but it doesnt really tie in with my experience.

It probably comes down to the drying/ curing as well. If you quick dry a bud it tastes chemically and "grassy" (don't know the science behind it, but it does) and when you cure your bud the chlorophyl breaks down and the chlorophyl has a weird taste.

I flushed my lemon, and didn't flush my strawb. The strawb tasted fine after a weeks cure, really nice in fact.

i dont agree with everything the article says - but it is an interesting point of view though and i like to learn and try new things...

if you are happy with your results don't change.. simple as that.

if you want to test the theory - on your next harvest just don't flush 1 plant and see if there is any difference

it could also be that your flushing technique is more of a flooding technique as mentioned in the article - there are many different possibilities and techniques

I quite often dry a bud for an hour and smoke it while flushing and dieing for a smoke just before harvest, it doesnt taste anything like the Tomato plant/food taste/smell i get from dodgy weed i see sometimes.

Maybe my nose is good i can walk in a room and say "hey u smoking Silver Haze?" and the reply will often be "err ye that was yesterday????"

Personally when i stick my head in a tent everday for years i recognise the same smell easily.

And yes the weed tastes like the smell of nutes if that makes sense?

32oz, that will be the 1200w light then. Well done m8, must have been perfect conditions

Yes that what my weed mentor thinks too thats why i dont change anything :)
i did exactly the same grow but in the winter that yielded 27oz (was last winter when very cold and i think due to cold it caused a nitrogen defiency)
Also got another one on 2 weeks into flower hoping for 27-30 again from this one all seems well atm.

cold temps slow the process down, I should know I live in Scotland. If you don't like the weather up here then wait 5mins. lol

What part im fae Dundee but down here since a kid.

Yes if the roots sit in cold soil it can cause nitrogen defiency which in turn can cause the plant to slow down and stop it taking in any nutrients. Luckily i caught it early.

Pie n mash :D It's funny that you mention classes and such with regard to it's availablility, a builder asked me for "one of those pies" the other day, said pie being a cornish pasty... :lol:

Bit of a funny/odd email i got today from my boss, she's invited me and my other boss lady out to a work lunch at a nice club, and then onto the spa and pool till early evening. I'm all for that, but essentially it seems like it will be a work review in bikini's and trunk. They're both too hot for it to be in any way a productive or appropriate afternoon :lol: Not to mention i havn't been swimming in well, the figure shocked me, but it's been quater of my life since i was last in anything bigger than a bathtub, so i'm just gonna go a bit freaking buts and become otter boy! Should be a laugh :D I find swimming one of the best forms of excersize ever, it's just great, although i think 3rd team hockey is the altime great. A first team squad with no ethics, no desire to win, a big stash of vodka and well, broken bones! :D Can you tell i've been drinking in the bath? :D randomly talkative ttt, an astronomical occurence
