Flushing before harvest is Bro Science!

I just don't know how the officials wanna legislate it - 3 plants but only 20g MJ per person allowed lol it doesn't add up...
I'm gathering Germany is legalizing 3 plants or 20g lol.

That's great news for you, idk how that'll work but it's a good start whatever the legislation.

We all know that laws don't make sense, idk how this thread turned to law talk but hey.

Michigan legalized weed and made the rule 12 plants per/person 21+ but the limit of weed you can have is like 2.5 ounces. As per the usual lawmakers are mentally challenged and can't make laws that make sense, this is a very persistent trend. They know nothing about what they are writing laws on.

I think people talking about flushing over the years have really meant to drop Nitrogen towards the end of flowering.

Switch out calcium nitrate for cal chloride or calcium sulphate!
It makes more sense to just feed them a balanced diet start to end is the point. People who do the hardcore load feeding and then give plain water thinking the product will be magically smooth are uneducated/untenured.

I don't flush in the typical sense i feed plants until they're ready then give them water for a few days.

Circa 85 days, they'll be getting water soon.

Why is it others have so much invested in what other people do, its strange af?
Because people will argue their ideas are correct with out any evidence despite actual evidence that speaks to the opposite.

Oh, and they'll ask for help in the same breath as they deny science. You can ask for help and listen or do your own thing, doing both is dumb.

I have been mixing my own calmag for a while now. I have always used calcium chloride, I didn't see the point in the extra nitrogen you get with ready made calmag.

So what's the point of Cl? None pro. But that shit accumulates in hemp flowers and combusted said molecule has a tendency to form dangerous carcinogens. You don't want that shit in your buds but Cannabis efficiently assimilates it even up to the point of plant death.

And what's the point of supplementing Ca towards end of flower/before cut? Is the plant happily making new cells still, like a month before? I think not. Even physiologically, if cytosolic N-levels sink the plant's need for Ca sinks likewise. It will just form cytholithic crystals towards the end of the xylemic pathway.
Both is unnecessary/unneeded. Just drop the calnit, save money, gain efficiency.

So who's to say, or rather "proof", the plants' need stays the same throughout the grow. If it were reduced (throttled metabolism) then a fixed EC feeding would mean a relative overfeeding.

A plants nutrient load in proportion Def changes thruought the cycle, why people think otherwise is beyond me... that's why spoon fed single mix salts aren't the best option. Great for making sure the plant grows tons of leave though thru the cycle. Love those beautiful leaves that we cut and throw away

In that circumstance the point of cal chloride is it an readily available form of calcium without the nitrogen.

I'm not gonna begin I have the same scientific knowledge but from the commercial cultivators / agronomists i follow they seem to think it is to help with rot towards the end of cultivation period by changing n to Ca ratio.

I personally run higher Ca than nitrate levels throughout the whole flowering period



I drop ec towards end of flower too :thumsup:

are you saying there is no cell growth or cell division from like week 5 of bloom onwards?? how can you explain late bloom foxtailing then?
Maybe a centralized development not related to normal cambrium activity sorta like a backflow in the center.edit,maybe with the vascular system being a siphon ,as the senescence occur and the uptake slows to a crawl ,in places some reversals .all theory
