My apologies for not defining flushing correctly what I mean by that is... some people I talk to want me to use a flushing agent some people tell me to just flush with two times water depending on pot volume. My my true question is what happens if I just cut it down in the middle of night after it's ready? Will it be a more harsh smoke?Consider that flushing is not taught or practiced at any AG schools. Consider that flushing is not done on any other commercial crops, including smokable ones like tobacco. There literally is no scientific data supporting it.
Next, know that different people define flushing differently. Here on RIU it is in the common definitions section as putting 3X pot volume through your soil. Some will say it means going water only the last couple weeks. So your thread is going to go to shit just over this difference in defining it, which you did not do.
Next, know that flushing is sometimes done to fix massive fuck ups in your feeding plan or fucked up plant medium. Others claim it is the key to smooth flavorable smoke. The former have a point and the latter do not know what they are talking about.
Good luck with your shitstorm thread!
Harshness comes from not understanding the dry and cure process.
I've read alot on drying and curing but would you care to give me some advice of your own on the subject
Create a drying space that allows your pot to reduce to 65% RH over 10-14 days. Jar it at 65% and burp twice a day until it reaches 60%. Enjoy your smoke.
Dark, light air movement and exchange, 40% humidity, 65 degrees, or something close. You can look up charts on rh and temp combinations to achieve desired results.
and over feeding in flower right? curing wont make that better than if it was fed correctly?
grow room conditions are not often conducive to drying marijuana. you'll need some meters anyways, check those numbers and control a space for your needs
I agree. I think that a plant overfed in flower but still dried and cured properly would smoke better than a plant fed correctly that was quick dried. It is all about breaking down the chlorophyll to get smooth smoke.
