1st time grow,flushing or no flushing how big is the difference???????

[jolleyrancherpurps]

how big of a difference will it make if i flush or not? If i do need too flush would 2 times in 4 days for each plant be ok? The powdery mildew is spreading quick outa no where and the plants are allready 8 weeks in and done besides the flush so please let me know the quickest way possible for best harvest?

No Pandora, don't open the jar!!!

if you use chemical fertz up to the end and dont flush ur bud will taste like shit, and it will spark if you strike a lighter above it,
try some final phase or somthing similar if u need to flush quickly.

 

[Illumination]

it is not a toilet...you cannot flush anything out of the plant...waste of time and effort IMHHO

Namaste'

Godfathers of growing such as Jorge Cervantes, Ed Rosenthal, & Mel Frank all state to flush at least 2 weeks before harvesting so your bud doesn't taste like chemicals. If you enjoy toking great tasting sensimilla then it's best to flush, sir.

 

[Illumination]

I really do not care what any of the writers say...it is simple botany and from personal experience it is a waste of time...dry trim and cure correctly for taste....period

Namaste'

Most growers will tell you to flush before harvest, and I'm no difference. Flushing makes no difference when it come to potency that I can see, but it makes a HUGE difference on flavor. If you don't flush for at least a week (preferably 2, as everyone has said) your buds will have an unpleasant taste. Some saw it tastes like lawn clippings, but it just tastes like chemical burn to me.

Flush it and then chop, but if you're starting to get mildew you may have to cut your operation short early. If you have to chop, try and just chop down the buds that are showing mildew and get some extra fans blowing on the plants to dry the air out. Less moitsure in the air = less chances for fungus to survive.

I personally did a side by side harvest. 2x 10 bucket RDWC systems. All 20 clones were from the same mother. 1 system got nutes all 70 days the other got a 2 week flush. the one with the flush tasted and smelled great. the one that wasnt flushed tasted bad but averaged 3g more per plant. i attribute this to 2 more weeks of food... choice is yours and only yours... to each his own... this wasnt only my opinion but the opinion of everyone that was invited over. none know I grow. also this was a blind test noone knew but me that they were in fact the same plant.

i have tried flushed and unflushed and it doesnt make a diference in potency but it gives you a cleaner taste its smoother and it should all burn up to grey ash in your pipe if its flushed correctly

 

[Oldreefer]

Skip the chemicals and go organic....no flushing needed, just reduce nutes at the end. I've NEVER flushed any plant and ALL my bud is smooth and tasty. I have friends who use chemical ferts, who flush, and it still tastes like bad dirt.....

 

[k.o]

This guys not bein stubborn is he? No one flush! just because this guy doesnt! lets all have fucked up plants tasting of chemicals!

 

[Oldreefer]

You should be worrying about the mildew prob....and increase ventilation and lower humidity.

These guys have a combination of about a century of growing experience, but Riddleme knows more than them so let's all read his books and watch his dvds and read his articles in High Times.

Funny, I have taught hundreds of growers how to get bigger and better buds and not one of them has given a negative review or complained that it didn't work. And lots of growers here in CO bring thier harvest to me to cure. The info is in my threads and I could care less if you read em? wanting better buds is a choice that you have to want to make,,,,,up to you

It's hard to interject with someone that has the ego the size of a small planet. if you know everything there is to know than why are you even here, dicking around on forums telling people they're wrong, do you get some kind of self satifaction from it or something? but then again, what do I know, let's all follow your method and get "bigger and better buds", not like that's at all subjective.

 

[Murfy]

flushing is of certain importance, and has it's place.-

in 3-4 days it will not change much. the plant will not clear itself of these "chemicals" in that amount of time.
it's all about the cure folks. riddle is correct. think fermentation.

I truely have no ego about this and if you read my threads you would see that, I merely put the info out there and it is up to the reader to decide what they wanna do with it, there are no nutes in the plant to flush out, it's not possible anyone that understands simple botany knows this

 

[Murfy]

remember the old days? when we would actually discus botany?

this site has changed alot. not so much scientific discovery anymore. the best threads are the pic threads.

read riddle. desert rat, uncle ben, shrubs first. i know alot don't like FDD but his garden is it.

search the forum. it's in there!
