Not just mollasses

Not just mollasses

NO products like sweet and sweet leaf contain awhole lot more than just mollasses they may be edible like mollasses but the wide spectrum of terpenes and terpenoids contained in said products leave mollasses in the dust.And to properly answer your question yes you can use sweetleaf during the flush right up to harvest.I actually conducted an experiment in which half the plants on 1 table were flushed with plain r/o water while the others received sweetleaf and mollasses up till harvest. The sweet plants tasted and smelled beyond anything leaving the other plants in the dust.Joints burned to aclean white ash and never stopped burning .Just my 2 cents.

you should flush always no matter your source of elements

How are you going to "flush" bone meal, kelp meal, dried blood and worm castings?

i see a lot of people fuck up organics i have bought some trashy organics a time or two...again its not what you do but how you do it..dont hide behind a organic title because if you suck you suck...if you dont understand what is needed organics is just a title...organics is about outdoor the soil the earth microbes and the process.... bring it indoor and do it wrong all you have is glorified chem weed as plants uptake chemicals...understand the plant and what she needs and how to properly grow with a flush...flush...flush..oh did i say flushhhh again..peace to all

Hello all.

Emmy LMFAO

GM you going to find 2 or more train of thoughts on this, some will say that if they are truly organic you don't need to flush, this assumes you nutes are 100% organic which SHOULD NOT need flushing, you can't flush and element that needs to be broken down by the microherd to be soluble to the plant.

Others will tell that anything in a bottle WILL need to be flushed because the only true organics are the ones you make yourself, that your recipe should be mixed so as not to have to flush, the soil ammendments should have runout before the end of the grow anyway.

ALOT of growers use bottled organic ferts, they are a great way to break into organics fast and easy and considering the price and ease of use of some of these products it's a logical choice, those who delve deeper into organics realize that there are cheaper and more easily tailored ways to feed your plants organically using easy to find soil additives in a healthy soil mix further helped by teas.

Flush with a high fructose solution, preferably clear corn syrup. Tablespoon per gallon.
Fructose is a natural chelator. It removes unprocessed bittery tasting minerals from the the root hairs while boosting the plants energy stores for those final days.
