Yup. That's a good sign of salt buildup.

I use that as precursor to a res change if not before. When My ph drops instead of rising slowly it's time to change

"The Undoing Project ", Michael Lewis, is about two Israeli psychologists who have turned the world upside down. Confirmation bias now being overcome by major league baseball, best teams have revamped strategy and scouting, with the Houston Astros almost leading the way. Maybe read a little and then talk about "confirmation bias ".

Black ash! Has anyone actually ever smoked their own product and seen it? I've flushed and not flushed, over fertilised and under and I have yet to smoke a bud that burned black. Yet to smoke a bud that tasted like chemicals after a proper dry and cure.
Where is all this weed that burns black?

mine is occasionally a little dark, not what i'd call black, and every time that's happened is when people rush me and won't let me give it proper curing time.
if you're getting dark ash, thats why, you didn't cure it right. has nothing to do with nutes left in the buds.

I have no interest in this study, i apply my experimental nature where my interests are but thanks for your concern.
Houston Astros... never heard of her
How about offer any information relative to the topic at hand... if you kept up thus far you'd find the tongue in cheek attitude i bring with the whole confirmation bias bullshit... we could confirmation bias everything to death and deter all further experimentation from fear of confirmation bias, which as pointed above does not interest me.

Over use of Si products in soil.....make ash darker and harder.
Uncured sugars do the same and add bad tastes.

I can attest to both of these factors. I've been growing since the early/mid 90's and what I've found is that not over feeding and properly drying and curing do infinitely more for the taste and smoothness than any 'flush' ever could. A poorly grown plant will produce crappy flower and no amount of bathing those roots in water is going to fix it.

Interesting... I've never used Si02 from a bottle so i have yet to see the issue.
My recycled dirt has accumulated so much food grade DE over the years, i would think Si would need to be available in high numbers which is crazy lol.

I didn't end up smoking those buds, lol.
Edi* I just noticed I already commented on this, derp.

What strain is this I have never seen buds like that 21 days into flower in 25 year of growing .2 week transition period ,to realise there flowering ,so to see this there amazing ,never seen owt like it at that age

he may start counting after he see buds forming. i do. that first ten day to two weeks don't count for me.

I'm not even sure he is claiming the buds in the photo are the ones he is saying are currently at 3 weeks. I read that as two seperate things. As in - A.) I never get above 700ppm and my current plants are 3 weeks in at 350ppm. B.) Look at the fat ass buds i grow while never overfeeding.
Just my 2 cents.

Those plants in the picture are fully flowered and from a crop a couple years ago. I meant the plants I was currently growing when I made the comment were only 3 weeks into flower. If I was able to get buds that big in 3 weeks I'd be a millionaire! lol Cheers

So on the topic of flushing, I had asked why their last week of their grow guide it suggests a week of flush, why?
This is the response from Canna, I've had a few great emails with them.. Their customer service is absolutely on point.
Good question! flushing is a myth in terms of what people think it does, which is magically purging the plant from all its accumulated garbage.
That does not happen. what ever gets in and cannot be used, will be stored in plant material and will not be available again, even if you starve the plant for
a month.
the true side though is that in the last 7-15 days, nutrient uptake seriously goes down as the plant focuses on final ripening, therefore, adding nutrient could be akin to wasting money.
Boost helps the plant finish off the process that are begun, keeps photosynthesis more efficient, keep the immune system high, helps it focus on flowering by moving stored root energy upward where leafs/flowers can use it.
CANNAZYM, If you are re-using your growing medium, will help keep it clean to prevent disease on the new generation, but even if you are not re-using, it still helps keep the dying roots healthier.
(more or less an insurance policy, if everything is good and healthy, perhaps you can use the normal dilution (2.5/L) or less often or none a t all... that is very personal choice.
in the end if someone always ran on the hot, dry, overfeeding side, even if he flushes for a month the product will taste bad.
Curing time, humidity levels and even how tight the thing is rolled can make for a difference in burning qualities.
some genetics also naturally taste harsher than others, having a very high oil content (which should be goodcan also create some coughing

so they want you to still buy their stuff, but even they won't claim it does what people think it does
