Flushing: Clearex or Water

If anyone thinks flushing is pointless grow a tomato plant using pure blend pro with cal mag or any other base nute. I ate some tomatos off the plant without flushing and it tasted just like the smell of cal mag or pureblend. soo disgusting. While i agree with LUcas on almost everything he preached i think he's nuts for telling people not to flush/.

corect nutes ,corect amount , corect plant noburn ,no flush

Going to guess that unflushed cannabis will LOSE in the Pepsi Challenge every time when smoked against a well flushed plant.

Everyone's taste buds are different, however all the growers I know throw down flushed AAA when we sit around the table and share our best.

Even the soil growers quit the nutes and runs water only or water and a flushing product, for their taste test samples.

We are all free to grow as we choose and I am going to continue bringing nutes to ZERO and using sugars to flush for the last two weeks of nine week plants.

I've tried nutes all the way through, didn't like the taste as much and the yield was the same.

Just out of curiosity, what EC are you feeding at during the majority of your flowering period?

Im wondering this as well.

Just mixed up a fresh batch of flower nutes. 5ml GH micro, 7.5ml GH Bloom, 2.5ml GH Grow, 2.5ml GH Diamond Nectar, 2.5ml Becuzz Bloom, 9/16ml Carboload powder (.5625 x num of gallons 5ml in a teaspoon 15 per Tablespoon) per each gallon of well water, PH down to 5.8. This is what they get the first seven weeks. And the PPM is 750.

When I flush I use well water and .81818181ml Carboload powder per gallon. PH to 5.8 and that is what they get the last two weeks.

you could have my back once in a while bro, lol....

I will defend this statement til my last breath,

+rep

Defend as you will but if it can't win the Pepsi Challenge it might not be worth defending.

That's 1.5 EC and way too rich for my blood. How do those plants look at day 50 with those levels?

I wish I could send you a nug of this suge pk... yall boys wish..

I remember when people laughed at the idea of 3lb a light.....Not so funny now...

Sup with them nutes bro?? Ever heard of maxibloom, let me simplify the process for ya... 7g's, you can cut out that nonsense... I used to do that, mix and match, calculating nutrient profiles, waste of time for the same results, plants can only take in what they can take in.

Flushing... lol...

Ok, so its like this.

Flushing with water or even a surfactant can remove extra salts in the medium that will build up over time with excessive feeding.

Flushing at the end of harvest to make the herb smoke or look better is a myth. You have to understand how plants work I suppose, but its simply a myth... Please challenge this someone, please.

Lucas kind of dumbed it down for the masses essentially, but I dont think I can post a link to the "ask lucas" thread, I think its on another site.

The only other alternative will be a long essay that would put you to sleep rather than inform, Ive tried... you would have to wiki ever other word, I dont know how to put it, I dont do lamens very well.

short answer?

The plant matter you are smoking is comprised of the very nutrients you are trying to flush. To say that you can actually taste levels of nutrients individually or even as whole is absurd.

For example, we all like a nice white ash. But then there is black ash, rumor has it that is from not flushing. Wrong, that is from not drying. try it, see for yourself!

Does that makes sense kind of? Ill try and narrow down some quotes from Lucas, I think he explained it better...


EDIT: and nevermind, there is the essay lol...

ill go ahead and challenge this. so far you have been all talk and haven't been the slightest bit informative. please go ahead and write this essay that is way over our heads. no need for making it for the layman (not laman)

If you're gonna have Steiney as your pic, you better have some knowledge.

This is the LVPK at day 50 1 day into flush.

I'll put my PK up against your's any day. I've been smoking it since 2004. I can't get 3lbs a light like you, but am happy with 1.5+.

I guess if you get twice the yield it doesn't matter if it is unflushed commercial, but I don't think anyone around this place talks of 3lb unflushed strains as AAA.

Again Pepsi challenge anytime.

Again all talk. Unless you're Heath Robinson or Ganja Baba we all know you're full of Sh*t if you claim >2lbs a 1000 and wont post pics of your harvest.
