Almost ready to start flush?

gazza89 said:

Well i wouldn't say wasting water, i'm giving them the same amount of water just without any nutrients. I do agree it's all personal, but all i wanted on this thread was to know if to start flushing , not whether i should or not. I appreciate your input but i will be flushing regardless as to me personally it makes sense and reading other smokers testimonials it seems they can taste the difference.

You’ll find there are extremely hot topics on this or any forum. Flushing is one of those. I get my stuff lab tested and enter my stuff in the cups. I’ve had to plants one that was flushed and one I fed til the end. I took both to a medical cannabis cup and people that smoked either a: could tell no difference or b: chose the non flushed plant most times it was a. They were both dried and cure in the same way and the same strain which I think was c99. But you do you I’m not here to change minds just point in the direction. If that person takes said advice fine if not fine. But most folks I’ve given advice to have thanked me later down the road.

That's like asking for a link explaining why pigs can't fly. It's a made up theory from weed growers that doesn't exist. People believe if you add nutes to soil and the plant absorbs them they must be made of nutrients. They're not, anymore than people are made of orange juice or what ever they ate for breakfast. Here's a link with info on nutrient cycles and how it works.

This lady has some really good videos about plant nutrition,

Yeah sorry , i though flushing and leaching were the same thing , my bad , so is leaching actually a thing then or is that still bad to do before harvest?

It’s still feeding on the nutrients available in the soil.

Forgot to mention i'm in coco, not sure how much of a difference that makes, obviously i know there's hardly anything in coco normally though.

If your in coco then treat it just like hydro I taper my feed down like I mentioned before. It’s how I run my hydro room.

How do you normally feed? Feed, feed, water? What ppm have you been feeding.

Feed every watering, at half strength nutes because it's an autoflower (and i hear they are more sensitive)

Not sure of PPM , need to invest in a stick. :'(

I couldn’t say much on the auto flower I only run regular seeds. Ppm pens are important esp doing hydro of any sort.

the guy said he was going to flush anyway....so you, "no flush", trolls lose...and why even come to this thread?

you came to this thread with all your, "no flush" crap that had nothing to do with OP's question

one guy even admitting flushing to cure a ph problem (one of the great purposes of flushing) yet still harps on what a waste it is...!?!?!?

this whole, "no flush", thing didn't show up until all the, "feed your plants additives on a schedule" thing so they can sell you more additives (can't sell you additives when flushing)

and this word game between flushing/leaching....so much bs this guy

it's a fkn word game because for many years it was called flushing (even though technically it's leaching)

these, "feed until the end", "no flushing guys", are all the same with all the same lies and BS

and their pot all dark when dried and tastes like crap

That makes you feel good, calling people names? You're SUPPOSED to be trying to help someone who is in need of it, not criticizing them because they don't know or have the so called experience that you have, so you say... You need to check yourself dude, because your true colors are beginning to show...

the OP asked if almost ready to flush?

You ignored his question and went on your anti-flushing tirade like the fkn punk troll you are!

You and your troll friends can't stand it when someone flushes (that in itself is mighty strange)

you guys bend over backwards quoting this crap and that and how fkn smart you are (sound like that idiot Trump) yet had nothing to do with OP's question

so is obvious you are trolls and just because you are dumb enough to buy expensive (worthless) additives so afraid to leach/flush any away and feed to late flower because that's what your idiot feed schedule told you to do (and not flush) doesn't make it right for everyone

because what I can't figure about you no-flush idiots is why do you even care if someone like OP flushes?!??

flushing doesn't hurt so what is your real objective?

Flushing is the belief that water only for a week or two removes or uses up something that makes plants taste better. See non mobile nutrients? The plant itself can't move them, doesn't matter how much much water you use or how long you don't feed.


Leaching is moving nutrients/salts from your grow medium. It's different for different mediums and there cation exchange capacity. A quality soil has high cec so it won't leach nutrients as easily as rockwool that has no cec.

WRONG

it's a fkn word game between flushing/leaching

all these, "no flush", idiots spew the same crap about leaching

best reset for PH is a flush

best way to leach/flush away buildips/deposits from hard water/tap water is flushing/leaching

no one believes anyone is washing away nutrients in the plant itself ...that would just be dumb wouldn't it

flushing is good at clearing soil for close to finish so no more nutrients like nitrogen are taken up at finish because they taste bad

quit spreading BS about flushing all you dumbass, "no flush" idiots!

You are a fucking clown, someone to laugh at, or throw tomatoes at... Get off the stage, lame!!! You should spend more time trying to help somebody and less time preaching from your weak ass pulpit... If you can prove what you are saying then do it. Criticizing someone because they don't share the same beliefs as you is how wars are started... You have to have your money right if you want war... So put up, or shut up... And im going to be the better man here and apologize to you for the things that I said earlier, I was out of my square... Small things are nothing to a giant... So you'd best go about your way and have a nice day!!!
