Harvest time?

I'm pretty sure that post says first " home grow " does it not?
Sure does. I am asking simple questions here, this is a debate about flushing. Not some kindergarten pissing contest. You want to compare you plants to mine? Sorry but I have no interest in playing that childish game. So is it your contention that flushing is what created those trichomes? It's your first home grow, so have you been growing commercially to gain all the experience to say flushing is better?

I'd much rather smoke a plant that is " deficient " than full of salts and nutrients... idk thats just me though
Do you understand how nutrient ions actually work?

Synthetic nutrients - ions are already in uptake form for the roots to easily uptake.

organic nutrients - bioherd Have to convert organic matter into nutrient ions for root uptake.

IONS are IONS it’s how each get there that are different not how they are uptaken.

plants do not STORE nutrients anywhere.

your outdated broscience is called out and you have no actual science to back it up.


High levels of zinc and iron in FLUSHED buds!! Well fuck me how about that!!!

Flushing your plants does not involve robbing them of nutrients....It allows your plant the chance to use the excess nutrients they have accumulated throughout the grow cycle . Science
Mate you’re still on your first grow in a fucking 2x2 tent with a fucking blurple LED!


What experience of any of this do you even have?

I bet you’re a 22 year old spotty faced mommas boy who still lives at home and had to get a 2x2 because you need to hide it from mom and pops.

His first grow? No way. You mean he googled photos of weed and claimed they were his own? No one would do that. :lol:

I'm not a fan of defoliation myself. I've never used that technique but others do and seem to grow some good bud. I just let the plants grow. The end result is always good. Sometimes I will cut off bottom branches and I recently cleaned up a Thai leaning sativa that was growing like a mass of brambles. All these wispy branches all throughout. Normally I just let things grow and flower small plants so I don't usually run into issues from having too many leaves growing indoors. Outdoors I think defoliation is completely unnecessary and detrimental to the potential the plant could achieve.

Many that defoliate often employ training techniques that take a long time which I'm also not a fan of. But each is free to grow how they want. I prefer to flower small plants and have more harvests faster. Some like to spend a long time training for one big plant and a big yield. I like variety and grow different strains from seed every grow. Others grow the same strain from clone.

It's not a matter if it's needed or not. Because it isn't needed. Some growers employ that technique because that's how they grow. I'm not a fan and disagree with any perceived benefit they may think that they're getting but if that's what they want to do then that's their choice.

I don't know what you are referring to when you say bud spacing.

As far as broscience goes the biggest myth out there is that cannabis is some special plant, has special requirements other plants don't have, and you need all this cannabis specific stuff. It's true that you can optimize things for the best results but you can do that with most plants and is not anything that requires all these products and techniques you see. I have more trouble growing Pepper plants than I do with cannabis.
In the grand scheme, it(cannabis) is a med/novice level plant to grow. Blueberries and several Varieties of flowers are much harder to grow IMO.
So Buying special “nutes” is great,but how much is your quality or yield increasing and compare that to the amount you paid for all of those special things to determine whether it’s cost effective.
its a hobby so people are gonna go over the top. I have the most repect for the budget ballers who can make beautiful budsby mixing their own dirt and using basic amendments and get great results.

How was your dry? Mine went 6 but I should have started yesterday...45-50% @ 70-72° was the best I could do in my tents with humidifier and AC down low
