Growing mystery seeds (freebies). Not labled. Went by my normal feeding schedule and they are not finishing. Already consumed all they can get from themselves. What should i be looking for to tell me when i should start flushing.

your best bet is reading the grow journal section, find a good grower , who knows what hes doing, send him a message asking him what he does.

asking the forum as a whole is gonna get you the same answer every other thread asking this question got.

both sides screaming at each other and in the end you wont know what to think lol

its the same as these topics below
LED VS HPS
DEFOLIATION VS NOT
FLUSH OR NO

Flush, don't flush... Just make sure the plant uses up most of its nitrogen before harvest and you'll be ok, whichever method you use.

Those who have been here and grown long enough simply dont care whats the best between led and hps and led has created its own toxic arguments.

We dont flush because we know exactly what the plant wants and when and that makes better bud than any flush.

Defoliation isnt in question, we train trim and top but at a certain amount youll reduce yeilds.

The site as a whole knows and is not arguing this but it does struggle with all this modern hype :-)

Sorry guys! I wasnt thinking about the big debates. I have been a flusher since the beginning. (The way i was taught.) I will dig in and research the whole debate thing. Starving the girls is not the way to go.

So his bud doesn't taste like "made in China". Cannabis should improve breathing, not cause respiratory harm. Not everyone is a walking talking farm animal who can't perceive these things. Unflushed bud is no different than being sold a burger with spit on it. I'd rather eat the spitburger honestly but the responsible party deserves their teeth knocked out either way. You cant claim ignorance anymore. Too many people have told you it ain't right,regardless of your own beliefs.

I dont care if you mistake the smell of unflushed bud, analogous to burning pcp or a well used meth pipe, with "gas" or "sweet" terpenes as many do, smoking the shit clogs you up, if youre actually a fully evolved human it's unavoidably noticeable. Coincidentally the stuff is "harsh" after , impossible to cure into a valuable end-product, degrades into dust quickly, and the high is never good either, but the Pavlovian placebo npc people of course won't notice if they didnt even notice their terps and flavs are shot to shit.


There is nothing else to the debate. Just a bunch of unqualified growers who don't even smoke and sell to walking talking farm animals as evidence that it's acceptable to sell tainted harmful low grade product as medicine.

Feed the bare minimum,maybe you'll have enough terps to disguise the lab chemical taste. All you farm animals out there can go argue with Jorge about it.

You have no reason to believe that some asshole on the internet knows for a fact the last wax he bought from a delivery service (Purple Dream) was grown with Pure Blend Pro (because you can fuckin smell it), but you can't say you don't believe Jorge, thats just sacrilege to the Cannabis grower religion!

Such a loud opinion for someone with such a small grow record.....


I've been at this since 2005, and have tried flushing and not flushing and lots of other experiments multiple times :). I encourage everyone else to do the tests as well.

Personally once I learned how to grow and dry properly I saw no benefit from flushing at all. I don't over feed my plants but I do feed right till harvest. I get nothing but compliments on my herb because it's all quality. Dispensary owners, med patients, other growers, all compliments except one guy that knows I don't flush. He always claimed he could taste the difference. Until one day..... I told him I started to flush and he raved about my unfleshed weed and how much better it tasted.....even though it was never flushed and it was all in his head. Just like most people that think flushing does anything. It's all in their head.
