you need a proper dry and cure, dude. people don't drink wine as soon as it ferments. They age that shit. Same goes for your dope.

 

[glengle35]

I agree but it still should not burn black for some reason the chemicals are not leaching out

This has nothing to do with flushing.

I don't flush, my ash is grey/white and my bud tastes super.


Its all about a slow dry and proper cure.


Are you testing your res strength to see whether they are "leaching" or not?


If after continual res changes with clean water, you're still getting high ppm returning back to the res then they're not leaching.


Without testing your pissing into the wind to try and find out.

I just tested the Res again its the same 200-300 ppm on the meter I changed it early yesterday

 

[jondamon]

What does your source water test at?

I just harvested my ebb and flow grow. 2 weeks straight water and the leafs aren't yellow yet. Sounds like u toxified the crap out of them with nutrients.

 

[glengle35]

Hi thanks for the help I just got home tested both the same

 

[glengle35]

Also if I did do that how do I fix my leafs are just starting to turn yellow

 

[jondamon]

Hi thanks for the help I just got home tested both the same

Then your plants are leached!!!

It will never go down to zero.


If your res is testing 200-300ppm and your source water is testing 200-300ppm you are done!

I agree Jon but why wont it burn

 

[glengle35]

I don't mean to ask so many questions I just don't need another 4-5 pounds of smoke that wont burn and is black black and hurts my throat

 

[jondamon]

How are you drying?


The only noticeable difference I have found from flushing vs not is that its a smoother smoke straight after drying before cure when its flushed.

After curing you wouldn't know.

I hang for about a week then jars usually opening them up a few times a day and mixing for another week I'm definitely willing to try a better way tho this is driving me crazy buds look and smells Great till I or another goes to roll then no burn

 

[jondamon]

How are you hanging them?

In long lengths?

Shorter lengths?

Cutting individual buds off?

What's the temp and humidity in your drying area.

[glengle35]

Temp is about 67 humidity 55 I just hang them in the same room I grow in with the exhaust fan on I try to hang the plant as a whole but sometimes half plant or quarter plant I just use fishing line
