I've done both long flushes and short almost non-flushes if that is a word.

I have found that the less flushing the better.

My first 3-4 grows I flushed heavy for almost 2-3 weeks before cut. My last 2-3 grows I have just fed with water for 5-7 days and some may not even consider that a flush, and the difference of opinion from my customers is great. My last few grows I have been told my smoke is much better quality overall. Although I have added some things to my routine like root enhancer and have changed different time frames where I add things that I have always used like molasses and humic acid, the only real thing I have done differently is not flush as much or at all. My Waikiki sativa everyone gave a 10/10 wasn't flushed at all, I believe it was two waterings after my last feed of nutes and thats it.

So from my experience, no big scientific words to give ya, but I have found the saying of "less is more" applies yet again to another area of growing.

I would like to see some of the pictures from some of K0iin's harvest. A few pictures of huge buds can sway me more then a bunch of text and glorious clams of knowledge.

Ask and you shall receive.

These are not from my current grow, one is a Dragon Haze (purple-ish) the other a regular Haze:

k0ijn's profile gif is going to go flatline if these flush threads keep popping up. Let's all do our own thing.

Your pictures do a lot more to drive your point then all your text and bashing of folks with a different opinions. Trust me, you should stick with that approch.
Very nice looking harvest.

... You science blahblahblah talk means nothing to me...

This thread is so entertaining.

Here we have one person, who doesn't even mention his views on flushing and is stating what it means for things to be nothing more than scientific fact... Then others who are bashing him because they have met a guy who read some shit on the internet and are claiming that to override scientific research? Am I reading this all properly?

Long wind may not mean big bud, depending on the grower. But it is definitely where the knowledge of how to get there comes from.

Rumple wishes he could grow buds half that big.

Science is a process, not a knowledge base. It is in fact the best process we have of arriving at accurate answers. Flushing may or may not be good practice, but attacking science in defense of flushing is foolish. If your motivation for flushing is that the plant absorbed 'foul tasting chemical nutes', then you need to learn about chemistry. All nutes are chemicals. I am willing to believe that naturally derived nutes have a different effect on taste than synthetic, but I wont believe it based on some misunderstanding of what the world organic means, and I have seen nothing in this thread aside from conjecture, logical fallacies and ad hominem attacks in support of the view.

A bad argument is not made any better by attacking the standards which make the argument bad. The problem here is the defense is one of an ideology rather than actual knowledge.

I'm glad other people see the conjecture and fallacies which are so abundant here.
I couldn't agree more with you mate.

Yeah I agree, the chem nutes seems to give off a stronger taste than organic soil. We noticed the difference right away. A few days of fresh water seemed to take care of the issue and got the taste back to what we had with organic soil. Glad to see some one else is seeing what was being said all along. Don't bash the messenger because you don't like the message. Science is a good thing, even if you don't agree with it.

Rumple wishes he could grow buds half that big.

I have harvest pictures as well.
