We could make one of those charts……. Deficiency’s and toxicity. I was at the traffic signal, 9 am. Lady next to us turns up her entire modelo never batting an eye. Toxicity that one lol

I think you're on to something about chemicals... last weekend I hit a curb in a parking lot at a US Bank.. For some reason I didnt see it on the passenger side and hit it 30mph. Now it's in the shop and had to make a claim with insurance on my self. :eyesmoke:

I tried flushing a few times. I would start around Week 8, I observed weaker plants, and diminished quality vs feeding until harvest.
Unflushed seems to pull more flavor too. Of course this is just my own experience. Why put in the time and money only to flush it in the end? :mrgreen:

Similar results here too, About 10 years ago an old guy who knew his shit was appalled when I told him I was flushing my current grow cycle. He asked why I did it and what my thoughts were and of course it was bro science bullshit I had heard and believed to be true, But being open minded enough to humor him I was intrigued .

He asked me to try and experiment and told me to just keep my nutrients in my res up till harvest on the next one, but pay close attention to my temps and humidity while drying and curing , And to also keep records of my weights for the current and next harvests.
The unflushed harvest was about 25% more in terms of weight and by far the best smoke I had produced up to that time, The genetics were all from the same mother and the rooms dynamics didn't change . I was sold right then and there.

I still get a chuckle or two when I let new people try my cannabis and occasionally hear " wow man , how long do you flush for"? I dont flush, I feed 1200 ppm right up to the day I harvest..... Minds get blown :)

My thoughts on it are that you are depriving the plant during the time it needs the nutrients the most, Like not eating for 3 days before running a marathon..... yes you could do it, But you aren't going to be running your best time on an empty tank. You are starving the plant during the time it is most geared towards bulking up and producing cannabinoids.

The way you dry and cure your cannabis has the most effect on your harvest and improperly processing any part can ruin great cannabis.

I've not had one person who I convinced to try it ever go back to "flushing" Try it and you be the judge....

Beyond drying and curing is the storing. People push equpment like portable a/c's to "dry" buds for 8-14 days for a slow dry and into the cure of things but what about storage? You cant keep them in a tote in a bedroom that averages 78- 86 degrees. I just picked up a "wine" fridg with a lock on the bottom. It has temp ranges from 40-60. I plan to do the usual. Dry at 60-65 for 10-14 days and then store jars in my new bud fridg that will remain at a constant 60 degrees. I'm hoping this will preserve the terps and freshness longer.

I wouldn't go as far as that for myself, I do store my cannabis under my bed which is a light tight frame, Usually in gallon jars with a bovedia or in a vacuum sealed bag that's not devoid of air so as to not crunch the nugglets, I know alot of people swear by the fridge or even the freezer to store but I never was a fan :)

There is an in-between method whereby instead of flushing tons of water through the medium you simply have a water only period or mostly water only period where you can also let the pots dry between waterings which is purported to increase resin.
