So do you "flush or not"?

younggungrower said:

yeah np ill explane it as best as i can. Besides the fact im super fryed from 2 dabs... The only way people are allowed to legaly sell bud to dispenceryes is if they flush their plant. Reason being, if sombody is coming in because of MS... They some want to be smoking come bud that has a bad taste adn burns nasty black ash. Nore do they want to be smoking any bud with high CBD and nutrient build up from not flushing. Even feeding just water and not useing gallons of water down your plant is flushing. it basicly helps get every last bit of chem fert or anything out of your plant and bud that wouldn't be 100% medical quality.

I dont do the flush debate thing either...But as Im in a medical state and somewhat involved with the industry and have never heard this despite several discussions with lawyers and having a ~40page CA mmj law book, I have to ask what law specifically states that plants have to be flushed?

If you cannot find/provide it, then legally you dont have to flush. Regardless of patient preferences.

This guy/kid doesn't understand even basic chemistry. Half the shit he says I think is just coming off the top of his head, from mixed up shitty high times articles, and/or his buddies that don't know shit either. I've read shit on here from people I thought were ignorant, but younggun gets the Overachiever award for that.

The only restriction for medical bud in my state is that no pesticides can be used. If you grow for more then 2 patients the state can (with a 24 hr notice) come and take some to check for pesticides.How the hell would they check for flushing?

Wow I go camping for a week and miss all the good shit.. lol.

You guys do realize you're arguing with a teenager right lol..?? haha fun fun..

If Captn. says flushing doesn't make a difference I'm going to lean to his opinion vs a kid that has never even completed a fucking grow... Dude, how do you know so much about flushing, "legally" selling to dispensaries, and "medical qualities" when you haven't even flushed a plant yet. You do realize you are arguing with some very talented growers who's "medical qualities" exceeds the majority of growers on this site..

I'm surprised Captn. hasn't put up some of his pics to shut you up already lol.

But you know guys, Hooray Cervantes says so so it must be so...

It amazes me more that people fight over this same topic with the same end result.. nothing. There must be 100 topics with the same title and yet each one ends the same, with both sides arguing good/bad points all to the same end... just to blow hot air and nothing more.

Do what works for you and your tastes, period.

Who gives a flying @!*(&@ what others think, I do many things "so-called" experienced growers say never do, that produce wonderful results. I can think for myself and analyze the results so that I don't have to rely on retards, punks and other so-called experts to tell me what works for "them" or they maybe was told to them that it works without even trying any other way.

Sad most people here can't perform this really basic step towards growing, literally and figuratively.

Alright well... to start off.... Man i dont even know were to start haha. As everyone hates me here... there is next to nothing i can say that will switch anyones mind... This is really pointless.. Diff people do diff things leave it at that. ANd @Sticky... I swear you are the most Judgemental and Ignorant person i've meet on these forums yet. Just fireing off insults like a bitch. Man im just throwing in my 2 cents... So to end my little, I dont give a fuck statement. Im hittin the bubbler... So take a dab and shut the f*ck up.

I had to respond to this... 8th person against me so far. This has to be a record. Im going off my dispencery guidelines.... I have NO clue in hell what it is for other states...Im not even in USA. By the way... Im 24 not a kid, And if you are like the others on this thread and care 100% about my grammer, you should really have better things to pay attention to.

Looks like im responding to everything now.. Damn silver haze sativa fuck... Anyways! Your telling me... that if a persom used battery acid with water in their plants, you would smoke that? I might not know advanced chem to understand the specific crap your going to tell me... But That should be common snce, should it not?

Dispensary guidelines? Dude, really? Dispensaries are nothing more than dealers making money off of a growers labors. They don't know shit. Okay maybe a few do, but still.. I'm not against you at all but you should really quit acting like you know for a fact anything about flushing other than what some chump at a shop told you...

I hate to say it but most dispenrary's don't even grow there weed 90% of them BUY it from thousands of other growers and they have zero idea what was done in the grow except maybe the person telling them, they don't lab test mostly anything due to it going in and out so fast, I highly doubt the guy told you knows even what he was talking about. There is no regulations or anything so you get what the person that grow it did, flush or not, and even flushing can be defined as many different things.

I hear ya brotha, but its not like i dont know anything about it. As i said, people to their grows differently... so its a different outcome. My buddy flushes and his shit is great. I also bought some smoke that wasnt flushed and it burned black... Just ot quality shit. But yeah, my dispencery 4 streets down makes every grower flush their plants. And they prove it by doing some test i presume... And yeah, most dispencerys just buy and sell... But them again some actually grow. My dispencery actually has a huge greenhouse out back, so its not like im talking to sombody who is giving me faulse info. But anyways... this topic is dead. Some people flush for reasons and others dont for other reasons. I just stuck with my story... others just dissagree.

There's no test for flushed weed lmao

i'm using general organics, i have tried a couple without flushing and a couple with flushing no real difference in smoke in my opinion, but i usually always do go straight water for the last while anyway as i'm sure there is lots of nutes built up in soil, no need for more that close to the end.

some say the test is black or white ash. although i think there is a little more to it then that, i have smoked shit, with black ash, sorta hard ash too, but i think it depends how how hard ur nutes r, but i thought most ppl did a "flush" or straight water for the last bit of life

I use sulfuric acid. And I smoke my buds. Whats so scary about sulfur? Its in the water you drink, in higher concentrations than when using it as a ph adjuster.

the ash test is bullshit and could depend on how it was cured/strain many factors, and you could test flush/non flushed by sending in a bud to a lab to see if any chemicals were removed which it will show there is the same in there if you flush and don't.

i once left the plant in the dark for a week AND flushed...best tasting little toolbox sativa I ever fired up.

did you grow a second plant of the same plant at the same time and not flush it and compare the results??

i'll never understand what dumping water through a soil is going to do for the taste of the buds you end up smoking..maybe if i start smoking soil, i'll start flushing, but until that time, nada, been there, tried it, and notice nada difference between flushed and unflushed bud.

I grow in coco with hydro nutrients. I only use ph adjusted water the last week,and just the amount the plants needs (no excessive runoff through the bottom). I consider that my "flush", but really all Im doing is letting the plant use up the last of the nutrients that are still in the medium. I do like to see some yellowing in the leaves though. One time when I just used nutrient mix all the way up to harvest I noticed the weed had a harder time staying lit in joints. I had taken some to a dispensary and the buyer mentioned the same thing (so I know it wasnt just my own skewed perception). He said that bud that still has a high amount of nitrogen it will not burn as well.That could be bullshit but whatever,for me just using water at the end is more about not wasting nutrients.

actually I did. I had been growing small scale for a couple of seasons and did not like the taste of my quick dried miracle grow feed herb.
same strain same grow area same lights same everything.
What is so hard to understand?
you want to starve the plant of nitrogen at the very least. starved to the point it exhausts it's reserves. flushing just insures the plant can't reload the bad flavors.
I know this is subjective...everyones tastes are different.
the plant I left in the dark for a week while flushing the medium with straight distilled water had lost the deep green and really tasted awesome.
growing big buds is only half the battle in my book.
taste and buzz is way important.
