    Starving Roots from Oxygen before Harvest for Early Cure?

    I'll repeat what everyone else has already said... this is NOTHING like water curing. You drown the root ball and starve the plant of oxygen so the buds begin to cure while the plant is still alive. Research it a little and try it out. If you're capable of following simple directions you...

    Starving Roots from Oxygen before Harvest for Early Cure?

    Alright, I know this thread is kind of dead but I'm gonna bring it back with an update: Not long ago I finished drowning 7 bubblelicious girls grown 12/12 from seed in soil under a 400sl hps cooltube in a small cabinet environment. Throughout the flowering cycle, I watered as usual with chem...

    Adding dolomite lime to already planted plants ?'s

    Other people might have different opinions, but I use the same soil as you (FFOF) and add 1 cup of lime per 5 gallons of soil, then top dress as needed throughout my grow (whenever runoff ph drops, or mg deficiencies show in flowering). My understanding is dolomite lime buffers the ph to 6.5...

    Starving Roots from Oxygen before Harvest for Early Cure?

    Last run my initial dry with the bubblelicious ended up taking much longer than expected and my bud wasn't cured for over a month after I chopped. I can't sit on it for that long it's very inconvenient and the taste still wasn't quite as good as I expected (not bad, but not amazing). I'm no...

    Starving Roots from Oxygen before Harvest for Early Cure?

    Those who have actually tried it seem to think otherwise, so I'm curious about your method. I already know you couldn't tell a difference, I just wanted to know your exact method before I try it myself. You seriously hate on this topic so much that you personally attack the grower? I'm sorry...

    Starving Roots from Oxygen before Harvest for Early Cure?

    How long did you drown them for? When did you start the procedure (after final swell, after trichs changed, etc)? What were your results? I'm very interested in hearing from people who have actually done this themselves. Please give us some more information! According to Riddleme (and...

    Starving Roots from Oxygen before Harvest for Early Cure?

    I've been doing a lot of reading up on this topic and everything I've read so far indicates it works very well. When the roots get starved of oxygen, the plant is forced to convert the sugars in the buds into starches in a last ditch effort to remain alive. The buds are basically curing on the...

    How to Flush in Soil?

    My last grow was Nirvana Bubblelicious in 3 gal pots with chem nutes and final phase for flushing. I flushed according to directions (used the final flush 2 weeks before anticipated harvest) and watered with plain PH balanced water after that. Only problem was my plants kept on going and 3...
