Does 72 hr Dark Period Count Towards Flush?

if I'm not mistaken I also believe the flush makes the girls produce more frostiness as they know its over so they pour on the stickiness trying to catch pollen

I think everyone here is right weather we flush or not because we are the 1% that have the balls to grow and we might even learn something from each other if we share our knowledge. But what do I know

14 days of no food when the plant need food the most is just dumb
Ur plant will gain the most weight in the last 2 weeks and u going to starve it

The plumping stage should end about a week before the plant is ready. If your plant is still growing/plumping when you cut it down, you probably are cutting down too early.

No headache or harshness here.

Tobacco isn't flushed either btw

Doesnt need to be flushed because it naturally depletes soil of nutrients like most natural crops.
By harvest time, the soil is basically spent.

I've had plants continue to pump out white new pistil clusters when there done
And ur plants will fatten the most in the last 2 week if u pull em a week after that the trichomes could deteriorate and u will dmg ur strength

Oh yeah I have had pistils shooting out all the way until cut. That is one of the reasons I tell people dont use pistils to judge if plants are done. Pistils have no effect on maturity of the plant. The buds themselves have stopped growing in the final week of maturation though. I cut around 15% amber (not brown).

This plant was done 10% amber rest cloudy See new white clusters it would not stop lol was freaky lmfao

Iam growing white indica right now and the pistil don't change much at all def gotta be trichomestrichomes

Well when you flush you use strictly ph'ed water which means the plant is drinking clear water no nutes for at least a week which means the stem is drinking clear water and guess what the stem is connected to the bud which means your bud is drinking clear water for a week. Now the reasoning behind this is the residue from the nutrients anybody with a 100 gallon reservoir knows what I'm talking about you can't just pump the water out of it to change water there is a build up of nutes on side and bottom you have to scrub it off same goes goes for the water that goes to feeding the plant and in turn the bud is that simple enough for you?

Hardly add nutes either oh and they add all that other bullshit after harvest (excluding American spirit)weed is a competly different plant for instance we smoke the bud tobacco there is no bud just a big ass leaf

They are BOTH C3 plants !

Leaf,bud whatever you morons! It's ALL in the CURE!!!!

Damn weedy,,,that plant had some more time to go on it by the pic! Dial down the lights on time to 8 hrs and it'll finish quicker.......12/12 is NOT natural for all 8+ weeks and new thinking is to run bloom at 6-8 hrs only!
You might try a declining lighting time if you feel that straight 6-8hrs is not for you.....
12 for 2
10 for 2
8 for 2
and 6 to finish!


This thread needs to be flushed! I only flush toilets!!!!!

Plants utilizing only the C3 cycle are most common in the Plant kingdom. They comprise about 85% of all plant species

Guess you should treat weed like a shrub or evergreen tree huh

That's the family it's in right?

I don't think this statement is entirely true. Any grower with any experience will recomend flushing. By flushing, you remove alot of the chemicals from the root system thus improving taste and also the way the finished product burns. Im a soil grower and you pretty much just place your pots in the tub or I use a 5 gallon bucket and 2 wooden boards, set the plant on it and pour 1 gallon per pot size, of straight water thru it till drains all out. Repeat process when pot dries and that gets em flushed pretty well. Then just plain water from that point till harvest.

With Hydro, Im pretty sure if you have bubble buckets, you just drain the buckets and use straight water for the final 2 weeks. There are additives one can use to flush with. Just do some research."

Wow....interesting concept,,,sadly false. This is still dealing with opinion. Even if that opinion is derived from ones own method. I would expect that that method has been sifted down from doing this, that, and the other thing, for sometime until one has found a method that works well for them. (NOT a bad thing)

I suspect that most idea's about "flushing" have come from many a year ago. Back when us dinosaurs were young we took seeds from bags and grew them.....Late 60's early 70's.....and it was good. Then a few folks got serious about making it better. They went to college and or read Horticultural textbooks on how to grow C3 plants and researched old papers on growing cannabis, looking for information on "high THC" cannabis growing. Things began to change very rapidly!!! Sinsi was the rage. Then came selective breeding to further the ideals of more THC and later to breed in other wanted traits (like mold tolerance, height limits, branching, etc.)

Anyway, during that time there were many interesting theories on how to make the pot taste better in the end. Things like pulling the whole plant up and plunging the the roots into boiling water for at least 2 min. (the version I recall from the early 70's) to the what seems logical "flush"......Sadly, to this day many myths continue down the road.....I still see the boiled root routine pop it's ugly head up from time to time and people have arguments for them that sound good but don't really carry weight.....

In any other plant used for human consumption. . . Is there any report or paper that say's it make's it taste better to flush, therefor it is practice? Is tobacco (another smoked plant of the C3 family) ever flushed for better taste? Anyone???? I truly enjoy a fine cigar everyday. I have toured tobacco curing facilities in Spain, The Dominican and Cuba.......guess what? All of the best tobacco's are made that way by the CURE!!!!! NO ONE FLUSH'S food or tobacco......so why weed? Because it gets fertilizer? So does your food,,,,,so does tobacco......

Bottom line is, just because someone like Danny Danko who writes for High Times and says "flushing is the only way to go"....Don't make it so! The Rev. don't flush, does that cancel Danko out and we go back to the arguments.....????

In my humble opinion, tested out for the last 40 years......I do not flush a grow. If for some reason I have the urge to do a synthetic run in soil,,,,,I DO simply water as normal - no feed, for the last week before harvest......There is enough usable nutrition left in that soil to carry me out.

If it is such a problem that you cannot manage to even try it that way (no flush) without having your Dr. up your meds.......Then don't!! By all means, do what works for YOU!

When the science is presented (and it has in bits here and in every other thread on the topic) ,,,,Stop beating us with your logic...


Doc

Here, I added this point from another thread on the topic.......I felt I should share it here too.

Yeah same with Kentucky bluegrass grass guess it's the same as weed 85% of all plant species utilize the c3 cycle very general statement
