Am I Right To Start Flushing Now?

And you guys are still completely discounting the two people sharing experiences with health problems and unflushed bud.

Until somebody shows an experiment showing not flushing is beneficial, I see no reason to risk somebody's health who is already sick, plenty of first hand accounts out there of people having problems with unflushed bud.

Aye.

Pretty bud, any estimates on how much more weight you gained by not flushing? It's not like the plant just stops completely growing with out npk added.
Does it? I know these puppies are easy to shock. I've killed plenty and stunted much more.
Stop the feed and go with RO minimum PPM?

SHOCK it can't be good. I don't think they put any weight on the last 2 weeks. But, I reduced the feed over a few weeks so the last 2 weeks are 1/4 feeds.

And it is like dessert. They pick at it. But, over all they do consume some feed.

I image what that do with that is concentrate the THC, since it is their life work.

Only because they were told they were un-flushed. See the organic banana trick.

Ah, I harvest with more amber than you then, I let my super lemon haze go probably another 2 weeks after that point.
why? with hybrids you are better off with clear/milky/skosh amber is actually better than old school 50% ambers because of UVB's..i've seen even some old schoolers recommending 50%clear and 50% milky..let's watch shall we?:

I've yet to see a double blind proving not flushing is beneficial...
No one has to prove that. It is your conjecture that flushing is good.

You have to prove that with double blind taste tests.

Tell them it is banana kush! :)

The same applies to boiling. WHY?

What is the logic? Is it because of the wives tale about hanging the plant upside down, lets all the "juices" run to the buds. POPPYCOCK. Hanging upside down, increases the drying time is all.

There is zero circulating THC in the system. None. And there is no way to say, that somehow boiling dislodges lower leaf and stem THC, minimal at best, and transports it to the bud sites.

Why Boil?
