I can't flush anyways. I grow organic water only.

I garuntee cold smoke would agree that bottled nutes are the same as organic on the molecular level. That plants uptake the same things.

If I water only in organic and cut a green healthy plant and it taste great then it stands to reason that bottled fed woukd be the same.

Just don't feed to tox and water until run off to prevent salt build up.

People take me so wrong. It's not a tight or ragging. I'm being as logical as I can.

I think I'm right and others think they are right. At the end if the day do what you like. All that matters is that you have fun doing it and enjoy the final product.

I agree with what you say about the science of flushing nutes
Yes imoble nutrients ect ect.

But how does that affect taste and burn qualities? Can we test that?

Have you done a side by side?

How does the unflushed weed look like after you smoked it?

It doesnt matter to me either way haha just like you say we all do what we do


We need to have a real scientist figure this out haha




What about this one.


If you feed a purple plant and it doesnt turn purple like it would if you fadded it would it taste the same without the anthocyanin?

Riddle me this

Ive done it!
I did the pepsi challenge with my mates. Told them what id done..
9/10 times, flushed was better.

Same seeds, same day chop, very familiar phenotypes. Just one thing different ......

I was thinking the same thing. Anthocyanins are what make fall leaves. Reds, brown, purple and even some types of yellow.

Makes me think of tannins.

I think humans are just different. Taste and preference.

We like different foods. We like different smells. Some like pleasant but I like horrible smells. Skunks and other putrid things actually make me smile.

It's just natural. Regardless what the science says we all like what we like. Often those likes are different.

I always wonder how an orange tastes to other people, or how they see colors. Is it the same or do we simply recognize blue because we were told it was blue even if it looks different to me than you.

My guess is we see the same thing but my brain has nothing better to do
Than think about inane shit.

Must say doing a wiki on plant tannin. Is pretty damn interesting.
I found the chapter on water soluble tannin.
Even what they say about soft woods have very little tannin particularly so.
I'm going to automatically assume cannabis is soft wooded, being an annual plant. Besides the feel of its stems.

The mind is a mysterious thing.

I have always enjoyed meeting new people. It's one thing I liked about the military. I met more people of various beliefs and ideas than anywhere else.

Peoples quirks and oddities has always been facinating to me.

We need some guys with lab access and brains to help us lol


Does that mean i gave a good question?

I think someone should test the same clone (if it purples out) test it unflushed and green
And flushed and faded and purped out

For terp profiles ,contents ect

I was quite drawn to the bottom of the wiki too.
Where it states less green, is less tannin.
Implying, fade = less tannin

It would explain calcium too.
Isnt there a lot more calcium and carbon in hard woods?
Doesnt the wiki state hard woods have more tannins, than soft woods??

We have to cure wood too.
Before we chuck it in our fire place.

Whats left is potash.
We all know what potash contains.....

My wifes friends go on about putting pine needles on their blueberry bushes.

I actually looked into it.

Turns out that they (pine needles) only put out enough to make any change for three
Weeks after they fall.

Problem with that is they are usually nit harvested within three weeks.

Next problem.
With rain and watering even if harvested in time the soil would buffer
Itself.

Next problem
If it gets past the soil buffer the rootzoone also phs itself.

The misconception was that pine needles contained amazing amounts of acid.

Reality by three weeks they are rinsed.

My takeaway is that I shall not gather pineneedles.

Her takeaway, im a fucking assholle

Pine needles make awesome mulch for the garden and flower beds. I got a few big pines I collect needles off of.

Yeah, its a good mulch.
That was another misconception people had as I understand it.

People were scared to death of it for non acid loving plants but for the same reasons I stated above I would feel comfortable using it.
