Flushing is not the "end all be all" of growing.
THANKS for that post. I'll never recommend flushing again. I always wondered if it was losing a week's growth and healthy metabolism for nothing but an organic hippy ritual.
Flushing is not the "end all be all" of growing.
I havent flushed and I have great reviews on my weed. Maybe the average joe doesnt know better. I grow hydro/non organic
HellaFella420- That's the point: to get the plant to 'cannibalize' those stored nutrients instead of drawing them from the soil/res. It's amazing how much is actually stored.
You really think that cutting the feeding for a few days at the end is going to affect harvest weight or yield? It doesn't. Not the slightest. I've done side by sides, all things equal but for a few days flush at the end. The difference in weight was immeasurable......the difference in taste........unbelievable.
Have you ever seen plants in the wild? The yellowing of the leaves is all part of the process of maturation. Our plants store many days worth of reserves in their leaves and all we are doing is forcing them to use it up before it dies.
If the yellowing goes beyond the fans and large leaves and into the bud, then yes, you flushed too long and starved the plant. There is a difference
Virtually every time I've had GH grown stuff, and yes I've used that stuff fairly extensively, there's a distinct.Really? .....I always found GH nutes to leave a metalic ammonia-y taste without flushing.
See...... It's ALWAYS "I believe"
