In coco I start with a phed flush 3 weeks from chop. checking ppm of the runoff seems to match my last flower.. then just phed water the rest . and by the chop everything should be pretty yellow.
2-3 weeks after switching to 12/12, cut away all bud sites which are growing a stem to reach for more light. All the remaining sites are within the optimal light range and will mature at the same rate.what i don't get is why i have perfectly flushed buds and unflushed buds on the same plant, i'm guessing most of you harvest a plant in one time, so obviously some leaves will be yellow/crispy/dry/dead/empty of nutes, and some lowers will still have some green/nutes in them.
Or do you harvest in different times to let the lower buds flushed longer?
I've read where it was believed the cannabis plant was capable of directly binding excess nutrients/elements to tissue. I would imagine any free moving, non-bound metals would move during a flush.Next question is, can they get rid of the excess metals they have stored (by flushing to get them to use what they stored) or once the metals are in the plant material, they can't be used anymore?
I've read cannabis can absorb toxic levels of cadmium from "Cadmium Safe(tm)" soil. As for the other metals I don't know any details, I only know it does happen.Do you know if it's all of the metallic elements that can accumulate in plant matter (N,P,K, others?) or only some of them?
I avoid excess of anything. (Sourpuss is right on the money)And the ones that accumulate, are they all responsible for quality degradation? Or should you really avoid a N excess more than a P or K excess or the other way around?
Try growing and flushing with R/O water next time.from experiance the flushed weed gives me a headache and is blacker ash lol..

Most likely overfed at some point or an excess of something, yeah. R/o grown, R/o faded... I have zero burning issues.Great point. I have done that and it resists burning freely. Not saying i didnt fuck up somewhere else along the way.
