FLUSH or No FLUSH

[rickyrozayyy]

Flushing is a free and easy way to increase the quality of your final harvest. Here’s why: The same process plants use to grow — absorbing compounds from nutrients, water and the atmosphere — causes them to build up excess salts and other harsh compounds.

If you don’t flush out these excesses before harvest, you could compromise the final quality of your crops.

Here are just a few of the reported benefits of flushing your plants:

• Can improve the smoothness of the final product and reduce harshness
  
• Can help remove any chemical tastes from the final product
  
• Increased terpenoid production from the slight stress of no nutrients
  
• Increased final bud swell during the final days before harvest

By getting rid of excess nutrients left over from the growing process, you improve the smoothness of the final product.

And the smell and taste of your harvest can also be improved.

It’s also important to note that you can see an increase in both bud size and terpenoid production after the flush, because your plants have more energy to devote to swelling buds and terpene production. They’re not having to spend energy to intake the nutrients you’re normally feeding them.

So the bottom line is that most growers flush to improve the potency, taste, aroma, size and overall quality of their final harvest.

I like to flush with grape soda. Gives it a nice flavor, much better than tasting chemicals. There's a couple other benefits of using it. It makes the plants turn a pretty purple color I mean even the ashes are purple. The buds get heavier and stickier from the extra sugar in them. Your yield will at least double or triple that of healthy plants.The co2 is also very useful for the roots. The bubbles in the soda open the pores of the roots allowing more grape flavor to be absorbed to the buds sites.

You really cant over do it so don't be shy about adding it. If you add more than you wanted you can just wring out the buds like a dish rag until you get to the level of purple you're looking for. I use fanta, not sure if other brands would have the same affect. I call it FFFFFI, Fanta flushing for flaming fucking idiots.

Next run is gonna be just straight coca cola with in dwc. It has plenty of frucose. If the plants don't have to waste energy making food it they can use all that energy making buds. I figure that will add another 25% to the yield.

Flush or no flush? it depends if it's brown flush it down if it's yellow let it mellow................. I don't have salt buildup in my grows...no need to flush

That would be nice if it were true that you could "flush" nutrient compounds from plants.


Total bull shit!

Sadly, it's not possible by plant biology!

Your "flushing" nothing from the plant! When you "flush"!!!!!!

Get educated on how a plant works before making such stupid claims!

So by grossly over watering your plants you are washing elements out of them? Does it flow back down to the roots and they're gone?

Or how about by starving your plants you're actually forcing it to pull nutrients from the fan leaves into your buds.

Looks like RickyRozayy got turtled. He was using homophobic slurs in another thread.

Aw... poor little troll.

If anything, I would keep them in total darkness for 2 days at end of grow, and heavily flush 10-15x the capacity of the pot with RO water with lights off, and chop it with lights off. Never exposing her to the light. During times of extended darkness the nutrients do go back to the roots for storage.

Carbohydrates will do that, not actual elements.

Well if you think you are gonna dehydrate the plant or something then you're mistaken.

Carbs are good to flush out though as they cause some harsher burn.

I was just reading some @k0ijn post about this last night lol

I flush with salted maragaritas for two weeks. The smokin’ hot Latina salts distract the salts in the soil as well as draw out the “nutrients” from within the plant that develop those nasty tasting/smelling/sticky terpenes/oils. By the time the soil salts/plant nutes realize that they got drunk and distracted by latinas, it’s too late, chop time.

Works fucking great! My plants have been devoid of nose, flavor, and complexity since I started the salted margarita flush.

I didn't realize I was talking about dehydrating a plant....

why

 

[Daveindiego]

Does anyone here come from a pipe fitting background?

Is anybody familiar with the term ‘residual’?

I understand that plants are biological. Is it wrong to think of roots as a biological piping system?


How would the root system NOT contain the last residual amounts of last fed nutrients, including Phosphorus?

What harm is there in spending 1 week, and 3 pours of water?

You are a genius!

Is this strain-specific?
Would a vodka martini flush work better on AK-47?
