No flush......I am running organics and synthetics in 2 separate plots.......last 3 weeks I am going to top dress the "synthetic plants" soil with worm castings and feed them with bloom teas until harvest ;)

No. I just taper the feed at the very end, and I avoid ammoniac/urea nitrogen.

<add> wups. Is this thread specific to outdoor? Then please ignore my datapoint. cn

I've tried in the past and discovered that at least for me, it makes no difference, except maybe when I HAVE flushed, the plants aren't quite as healthy looking. I never measured the yield amount, but it seemed like non flush plants had a bit better yield.

Like cannabineer said, I always just taper off food last week or 2, and what they got was small amounts of organic food.

Don't have my own grow this year, but started using Vermi T on the one I am assisting with for the first time. Using that almost daily, we are finding we need very little in the way of other nutes

I put a small bud, unflushed in a microwave for 25 second, looked like a fire storm from the mag. I put an flushed bud in a microwave for 25 seconds and nohting.

I dont want that crap in my body. I flush

i flush for three weeks normally, i dont see any amount of diminished return, i dont ever run to waste, its all in there, and my microbes and beenies do the rest, molasses, boost, trinity ph'ed water and sea green for 2 weeks then one week 5.8 water water, and id say the quality of flowers i produce now vs two years ago when i did not flush is obvious better smell better yields and better flavor, i avg around .65 gram a watt(not very high i guess but better then i used to.4, and 5 crops a year)

i save about 50 % on nutrients using cut off dates and no run off, allows me to buy better nutrients for my enviroment

, here is a review done by a guy on one of my tester strain in my latest crop popcorn too

Additional comments:
The nuggets in this sample were about the size of a dime and were average in color. They were very frosty and the floral clusters were dense and gave a good crack when broken. The smell reminded me of fresh cut cherries on a slow inhale, smelling the bud quickly gave off two subtle flavors of pungent wine and sweet candy grape. I really enjoyed the smell and how complex it was. Once cracked the nuggets gave off a good odor that filled the surrounding area.

Smoke test comments:
This bud was pretty dry and was easy to smash into a powdery bowl. The pungent wine flavor really came out in the flavor of this smoke and really went good in combination with the cherry taste. At the end of each exhale my mouth was full of a woody/hashy taste that wasn't too bad. The expansion would get me sometimes because of how smooth this was, it was even smooth on the bigger hits.

Final comment:
The high on this was heavily narcotic. I felt it in my shoulders and spine, the sensation was almost like I stood up to fast. As the high progressed it became harder to type. I could hear every noise around me no matter how small. My arms and shoulders started to get heavy. Time slowed down while my mind worked out each detail of whatever I was doing. My eyes were very relaxed which made it hard to focus my vision. Looking at things that were moving quickly made them blur in a cartoonish fashion and my eyes took a long time to adjust between close range and long range visual targets. Physically the effects of this weed wore off roughly an hour after effects had started. The high was mentally uplifting and put me in a great mood, I felt this way for a solid 2 hours before almost suddenly feeling sober again. I really found this high to be quality night time meds, and so did my girlfriend who fell asleep on this twice right after smoking.

sounds better than my plans... whats in your bloom tea? you doing the whole air pump thing?
Yeah. have two airstones going in a 5 gallon bucket.....I'm using 2 different teas.........One is with Indonesian Bat Guano, Worm castings, molasses, and liquid seaweed extract......That is some thick/nasty shit, and they love it. the other I haven't fed them yet. I am brewing it up right now. It is a mixture of: Dried poultry waste, worm castings, bone meal, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, potassium sulphate, molasses, and liquid seaweed extract

indoor, yes.

outdoor, i don't really see how that's possible. i plan on cutting off water for the last week or 10 days before harvest.

UncleBuck...I think it is possible outdoors, but definitely not feasible for Joe & Jane Average........a pleasure learning so much from you as well UB

I have never flushed....no nutes 2-3 weeks out....water w/molasses 'til about 5 days, a little straight water 48 hrs later & leave'em for 3-4 days.....has always worked beauty for me

Peace..!
