Their sales reps keep calling on local nurseries/supply centers...aggressive company right now.
Flushing....Whats your technique?

But Grow Big and Tiger Bloom are still great products to use. I just love them. The rest of the lineup is pretty much just tossing cash dont the drain...
To make more money.
But it's worth pointing out they didn't always have their flushing product... but periodic flushing has always been a recommended part of their feeding schedule.

I think most companies have their own "snake oil" and "rocket fuel" that growers can't live without. I'm one of the suckers that plunked down about $500 for nearly the full line of advanced nutes. I just happened to be doing a soil grow in the same cabinet and it outperformed the AN. They should give a complimentary lab coat with their shit; I felt like a scientist with my chart, calculator, pipet and graduated cylinder; every two days it was nearly an hour of worthless effort.
Huh?
I used to flush for harvest, but eventually tried without and like k0ijn didn't notice a difference... so I stopped. All things being equal, simpler is better -- especially in growing.
But I never fucked up anything from flushing, what do you mean by that? Just not happy with the final product?

If no one can tell a difference in flushing or not flushing then your wasting money on nutes at the end imo. I flush for 3 days though. 1st day with flushing agent 2 days ro water. Un flushed seems to burn not as smooth and hurts my throat after smoking large quantitys. Im not saying flushing doesnt decrease yield but thats why i only do it for 3days. I swear all the commercial shit I get from CALI from you PROFESSIONALS isn't flushed. It always hurts my throat and never burns smooth. What makes you a professional? lol how do I become one? Farmers dont flush because they cant. They do rinse though and we cant. Stuff you grow and eat is different than stuff you grow and smoke. If you want to pump out mad commercial weight by all means dont flush and let your shit get over ripe (a whole different argument) But imo if you want connoisseur quality you flush.
If you ever take some of their Grow Big or Tiger Bloom ferts and spill a little and let it evaporate, there is a ton of salt left behind. There's no way that all of shit is getting rinsed out of a container by normal waterings, it will accumulate. I can understand their recommendation to flush periodically...

Very nice posts guys! Solves my dilemma, I don’t think the ladies could have handled a 2 week flush. The harlequin has been what looks to be calcium deficient for some time, and the Pre98Bubba looks to be hurting for some nutes too. I’m 4 days into the flush, but think its time to put ‘em back on the good shit… at least up until the 4th day before harvest. yyyyeeeeeehhhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!

Please enlighten us
Get over yourself
I doubt anyone here has done a true scientific test/approach covered all the variables or even half of the opinions has a hypothesis on how this shit works, let alone could describe a hypertonic solution or water potential.
BUT WHATEVER
I don't give a shit on your opinion, I'm saying is no one on earth knows the real depths of cell chemistry as most is yet to be discovered.
Recently photosynthesis has had some interest on how quantum physics plays a role in photosynthesis so while you down play your roots THE ROOTS OF MANKIND AND ALL LIFE ON EARTH, the roots that make up the very fabric of our lives when you don't have the slightest idea of the the INCREDIBLY complex processes at work underneath your nose.
Biology is the key to our future it holds medical secretes, cures, the means to develop efficient rebuild-able supplies of food and energy.
You SIR can shove it!

Ohhh really? like what? Im always open to hearing something new. Since you seem to have emense knowledge of the subject you shouldn't have a problem shedding some light.
BTW no one ever down played roots im confused? I understand roots are essential and break down the nutrients in the soil so the plant can use it as food/energy.

This thread is about "flushing", in case you didn't notice. I realize that the OP's post may not be as important as your need to show your pedantic knowledge, but if you persist in flaming other members - long-standing members, you're going to have a very short stay here Einstein.

Your comments piqued my curiosity, so I took a quick look at your other posts, including the one where you advocate the use of aluminum foil as a reflective material based on a citation in Wikipedia. Fortunately, cultivation is an applied pursuit, not theoretical. As such, one's competence is easily assessed by a representation of his work. Can you please post a few pics of the plants you have grown and harvested (including something for scale)?
