To flush or not to flush.

Hate me if you want but I flush for two weeks before chop. Even with organics. 3x the container size volume water, and ¿fora clean? (GH) on the last bucket. The smoke feels better on our throats that way.
I started doing it because everyone's a weed snob around here, and now I'm a believer. Try it yourself :-)

I will just give my point,nothing more,nothing less. Flushing to me is like having a 900 lbs. steer and starving him for two weeks before I butcher him. Will the meat taste better? is the loss of the wieght worth all that?
No but ur throat will feel better.. bunch of noobs listening to other noobs.. get at least 20-30 grows under ur belts before and afte, some with flush and some with no flush i bet ur lungs and throat will tell the difference.bongsmilie

My lungs love my herb.My throat is fine.Tell me,no,show me,in a manner of science why I should starve my plants in thier most productive part of life. Helll thats how we make athletes perform. We starve them.

I didnt mean to reply to your quote, but u cant starve a plant that has reached its maximum potential. If you ever grown hydro you could tell because the plant will not consume any nutrients and thus the ppms will rise, the plant filters out nutes and only drinks water. As the plant reaches its harvest stage even in soil it will turn te leafs yellow but at the same time the its begging for water. So there's where the flush comes in. Also im not sure if most ppl understand that by flushing i dont mean drown the plant with water for 3 weeks straight but gradually taper of the nutes. Organic grows dont necessary need more than a week or of just plain water. Assuming its truly organic wich only about 10% of so called Organic growers are truly organic.

Organic, hydro, or just plain dirt a Bird McBride Roots off flush will guarantee the weed tastes the same per strain as it should. No unexpected or not so pleasant surprises.

Flushing is a huge debate on here. Personally i flush using Flawless Finish for the last 5 days. Smells and burns clean and smooth.
Flushing is a HUGE debate on this site. My opinion if you have the means.....flush one plant and don't flush the other. Cure them both the same way. Then smoke a joint of one and then a joint of the other. See which one tastes better. You might find out they both taste the same! Growers preference really.

Grow it right and you will not have to deprive oxygen and food. Cure may take a bit longer so if you do a side by side YOU CANT cure & dry it the same because the oxygen deprived bud will dry/cure faster then the properly ripened bud.

Okey dokey, cheers. I'm also curious whether or not the size of the buds will drastically change.
My last 2 feeds in flower are about half the EC of my regular flower feeds. No N unless there is a noted need. You don't need more vegetative growth. That is what I noticed improved my mature buds. At least in my experience and opinion. You simply cannot flush soil, much less a plant. Why would you starve a cow the last weeks and expect good meat?
