Flushing before harvest is Bro Science!

[LeastExpectedGrower]

Let me explain...
Only when they're ready do i give them water 3-4 days then chop them.

The nutrient traveling around the plants system cannot evaporate, the water evaporates leaving mineral behind, 4 days of water appears to be enough time for the plant have used up what was present in its vascular system.

Cool then. I guess I flush my plants every 3-4 days then.

It's not a if, but, or whether situation, blue lab truncheons doesn't lie, test it for yourselfs is all i can say... Or at least stfu if you don't know and aren't prepared to test it, it's simplest thing to do.

What specifically are you testing with the truncheon?

Plant sap, testing its ec at various stages.

Actually since growing since you were wearing diapers and shitting yellow, boy

Edit...omg that's a piss poor pathetic reply.

how do you test plant sap with a EC meter?

There are a lot of things that could cause this beyond "nutrient residue." What those things are, I'm unsure of because I'm just a lowly larf cultivator. That's why I brought up having it analyzed in a lab.

As you would test any other fluid, tap some sap and put the truncheon in it.

And what's that going to show?

Yes, if it didn't reflect the same ec I'd be less inclined to use it as a guide.
However the sap reflects the ec to the 0.1

Do you want to smoke nutrient residue in your bud?

Ok, I'm just trying to understand you logic. The Sap = the nutrients present in the buds.
Does that wand show what exactly there is in the sap, or just that there is stuff in the Sap?

EC meters only show that a solution has some form of electrolytes aka salts in them. They cant measure sugars and whatnot.

The truncheon measures a range from 0.2 to 2.8 iirc, when it got below 100 ppm i started using a water quality tester it measures down to 20 ppm.

I'm not saying that they do, im saying there's nutrient residue/mineral left after the water evaporates, that much is physics it can't be argued with.

And what exactly is thst going to show? Where and how are we collecting the Sap? How much Sap is needed? Are we mixing the Sap with anything or using pure 100% unadultered Sap?

Props to you, at least you're willing to consider it even though you might not agree with it.

Eta give me a moment.

sooo what you are saying if a plant is alive and doesnt have a fuel source it will eat whats inside it.

If by "whats inside it" you mean "itself" then yes.

Its self cannibalizing, which is generally not considered healthy.

Of course you dont flush.....chlorophyll is delicious, why would you want a fade??? Thats crazy talk
