those trichomes aren't cloudy in any of the pictures? I even see some that are amber. Why do you think flushing is pointless. I would understand that in an organic grow but i am using synthetic nutrients.
Harvest time?
- Thread starter CannaR05!
- Start date
what is wrong with flushing? from everthing ive read you need to flush if you are using synthetic nutrients so you have a smoother smoke and not a chemical taste. You don't think these trichomes look cloudy? I would understand if they looked clear and glassy.
For Pineapple Express...yes i will agree with you. shes a sativa dom hybrid so its understandable that it would take longer then the indica dom hybrid. you don't think the trichomes look cloudy?

You can't flush nutrients out of plants in a week or two regardless the Nutrients
Which is why so many choose organic

Then why do so many articles say that it is highly recommended to flush before harvest?

Lack of science
And articles be damned I grow pounds and never flush and never have overages

you must keep a very close eye on your ppms and ph levels. do you grow in soil or hydro?
ok ok bob you made your point! lol. i won't flush but I will reduce the nutrients little by little each day until they are only intaking 400-500 ppm.

LOL
I grow in pro-mix and never PH anything but my EZ cloner
8.1 straight from the ground 220 PPM
People over think it
It is a weed

I only fed 1.2 EC max my last grow. Didn't see a need to reduce it further. They turned out fine.
A proper dry and cure gives you the smooth smoke, not flushing.

Because they parrot wrong information from bro-science they heard before them.
Same reason you see people thinking they need to add CalMag to everything. Because they heard they did.
wow 8.1 ph?! i ve heard anything below 5.8 is bad and anything above 7 is bad too. are you saying that is also bro-science?

I'm saying that is where it begins before adding nutrients
Bro science is an opinion

Promix is buffered
I never pH mine either
I never pH mine either
Yea mine is around 8.5 gotta add ph down to bring it down to 6.2-6.3ph. And my ppm is usually around 1000-1100 ppm minus 147ppm for the minerals in the well water I use.
Is fox farm ocean forest buffered as well? That’s what I use. Actually it’s a mix of FFOF fox farm light warrior and perlite.

Yes it is
does the soil buffer the ph all the way until harvest? I know the nutrients in the soil only last a month.
