It smokes great. I'm sure your shit is good too.
Where you at? Come to my house. Smoke my weed. Then you tell RIU if not flushing is incorrect.

Congratulations on the enormity of your success!
Not if it involves disrupting this thread any further. But otherwise, yes I have to admit I'm curious.

My thing with Flushing vs. Not Flushing is ok lets say you did flush what are you flushing , if the nutes are in the buds and you are flushing them out how is this happening? is the plant sending water to the buds to remove build up now all of a sudden and they know this bcuz your giving them only water ?
I dont get it the solution is water based and the plant takes what nitrogen (water etc) it needs when feeding. Like said earlier IMO if you start to feed it just water(which they've been getting anyway) they look for the other food they were getting and find it in themselves and eat away.
Im thinking it defeats the purpose , if you feed your plants all there life(water , n, p , k , ca , mg etc) and they've been eating this using what they need to produce everything they are why would feeding only water at the end help? And why would you think you can get out all those months of nutes out in a week or two?

Let's keep the thread on track fellas. Posts that are irrelevant to the topic or attacks/flaming will be deleted. We have some great discussion going, let's not ruin this thread with useless bickering and fighting.

Hey, flushing is wrong. Period. It's really not so much a discussion as it is those of us who know just trying to convince flushers. I'm just trying to help.
My bud excels in the LA club scene. Our city is almost as famous as Amsterdam in connection with ganja for good reason. Growers have been breeding the best OG genetics for decades here. I have extensive experience dealing with LA shop managers. These people see bomb of every shape and form every day... day in and day out. Crystal covered shit is nothing to these guys. They've seen it all before. To get their attention you have to do everything just right and better. When they open your jar, it better be a smell they remember when they go home... otherwise, you never get a call back. Again, after years and years of fine-tuning, and the recent involvement of another RIU member who brought me the right genetics, I'm finally king of the hill in LA. If anyone has a problem with that, or doesn't believe me, I'll taste test anything they've grown against mine.
I understand that no matter how much my bud pics kick ass (and they do), it doesn't tell you how they smoke. But there are much more diplomatic ways to express that idea than either of those dudes posted. And if you know anything about pot, you know that there is a level of visual appeal that pretty much guarantees great weed. I don't have to smell or smoke weed to know that it's legit. If it's such an excellent visual specimen, all educated growers know that it excels. Anyone who questions this is just showing their lack of experience.
Edit:
All due respect to the great shit coming out of Canada, too.
I may sound like I talk a lot of shit. And many wonder why I bother when I have the threads and pix to do all the talking... And really, I'm not a boastful person by nature, but I've never been what one would consider bashful, either.
I state it plainly. If any of these growers on RIU think that what they're growing is better on average than the top shelf shop meds in the LA scene (which I doubt) then it still has my weed to contend with, which on average IS superior to top shelf LA shop meds. That's just a statement of fact. And I don't flush.
Edit 2:
Seriously, I know there are a lot of talented growers here. But before you think about sticking that chest out, you should bring one of your jars into an LA shop. See what they say.
This is what they do: They look at your jar, they hold it up to the light with a frown, they pop it open and sniff it with a frown. Then they whip out one of their jars, pop it open, and hand it to you. This is the kind of scrutiny and fierce competition I'm used to. Can you compete? I can. And not only do I compete, on average I win.
Not flushing has improved my win column... When I was flushing, I had a harder time of it with these shop guys. What more do I need to say?

We both agree when it comes to the flushing issue, up until a couple years ago I flushed every crop I grew until I was convinced by some guys on here to give not flushing a try. I was surprised to find that I could not tell a difference between the two. I have never had dark ash, never had weed that pops or weed that tastes like chemicals.
The more the thread gets drug into name calling and negativity the less people are going to take it seriously. Just doing my job...

Hey, man. I've smoked every OG known to man in countless LA shops. My weed is better. I'm not talking shit. It's just the truth.
You takin' a dig on Cali now? Where you from? Just where exactly would "in the soil" be?
Cali fuckin' rules, dude. We're leading the charge and setting the standard for medical marijuana in the United States. Our weed is better. It's true and you're just jealous. I'll say it again and again.
edit:
And exactly. This is a thread about flushing. So you're off topic and just taking shots at me.

I think the quality of the name calling has everything to do with whether a reader takes it seriously or not. The good information in the discussion is there. It's just peppered with 'colorful language.'
If anything I think it would get more attention than a bland discussion where everyone is just stroking one another. Lol.

When I started growing, I flushed, because that's how I was taught, after about 10 years of doing it that way, I tried not flushing and noticed no difference in taste, no sparks, no exploding weed or little chemical elves climbing out of the weed and chewing on my face, or whatever fairy tale myths there are out there. I have not flushed for 10 years. My buds seemed fuller when I stopped flushing, and with flavor remaining the same, that is what convinced me flushing is nothing but hokum.
Best advice though, try it both ways and see for yourself. Taking advice on a forum from people that could for all we know have never even seen a marijuana plant, and could be a 15 year old kid in front of a computer, taking that advice sounds sketchy to me. Or don't try it both ways and you will never definitively know either way.
Either way, happy growing

Why can't I be more even-keeled like you? Well put. I have an accelerated setup, so flushing was actually hurting me. I know it's not such a severe case with everyone, but yes, I've seen more depth of bud maturity without flushing, too.When I started growing, I flushed, because that's how I was taught, after about 10 years of doing it that way, I tried not flushing and noticed no difference in taste, no sparks, no exploding weed or little chemical elves climbing out of the weed and chewing on my face, or whatever fairy tale myths there are out there.

Yeah, I never stop. And I always stay on track.
You just stop replying or let's have the moderator taste test our weed. Tahoe OG from Los Angeles against your purple thing.
Even if I'm not King of the Hill in LA, I'm king of any hill you and I are standing on.
See, you don't seem to understand. I actually enjoy this.
Edit:
"We need to stay on track?"
You admitted yourself that you made no mention of flush / no flush when you started posting in this thread. You just saw my post, didn't like it, so posted a picture of your weed. What did you contribute to this thread other than "my bud is just as good as your bud?" You started it by confronting my opinion by showing me a picture of your weed. Then you tell me I need to stay on track after the mod shows up?
I can forgive some for bad English, but you're a stupid child.
