Do you think flushing is for toilets only?

Yep. A robot finger to flush it and and automatic re-applying of nutes to reservoir after each flush. Then we can start a new topic whether flushing is good or not xD

Nice, a straw man done in chrome steel

OP for your next thread ‘bout a pound.

for your next thread no it’s not ready. Two more weeks.

@OldMedUser its because there are chemicals and metals in the bud. With hydro you have to flush. Salt doesn’t burn like magnesium.

No nutes and nothing but water for 7 days.

If unflushed hydro bud doesn’t burn black, it’s been underfed and will be shite anyway.

Why are there chemicals and metals in the bud and what do you consider harmful chemicals and metals. Many of the needed nutrients like Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn etc are metals and everything, I mean everything, can be called a chemical. The air we breathe is a mixture of chemicals so what constitutes a harmful chemical in your mind?

And what the hell does, ' If unflushed hydro bud doesn’t burn black, it’s been underfed and will be shite anyway.' mean?

Methinks you know much less about these subjects than you think you know and would be better off listening to the adults in the room.

If your car has a nail stuck in the fender, are you just going to keep replacing the tire without removing the nail? The problem is always more important than the solution.

Organic needs to be flushed too. Ask any agricultural crop consultant what elevated nute levels towards the end of cycle does to the end product, to any crop.

You dont even need to smoke weed to see where all the recent trends come from. 90% thc extracts? Fresh frozen? Live resin? BROVIDA?! How the hell did anyone get high in the 70s smoking that 7% brown weed with no brovida!

We smoked big fat bombers of that stuff but a little pinner of Thai Stick would get 4 guys wasted back in the day. One of the first strains I got bud off of in '78.

There is African/Jamaican stuff in UK they call 'high-grade', they charge £25 for an eighth, it's dark, comes in a block with seeds and to the untrained eye looks like scwhag, I rolled a 'skinny' and the people I was with said be careful and I laughed before I ended up stoned off my tits

I wish I could laugh and heart this. Haha the answer to all threads right fucking here folks

I really do feel like I’m one of the only newer members that actually tried flushing and not flushing, I’ve said this on a few posts lately since I only speak on what i know and have experienced. The plants I didn’t flush are a better product than the ones I did and as I flushed I saw how sick I was making them. I can see backing off nutes for sure but that’s very different from a straight up flush. My opinion from doing both on the same grow with the same strains is don’t do it.

I’m gonna make this real simple...as per below, follow these rules and you are golden.

1. Only flush with synthetics in coco
2. Never flush in coco
3. Flush soil with 5x the size of the pot
4. Why the fuck are you flushing your soil?
5. Never flush unless it’s half past midnight, slightly overcast for 3 days straight and your plants have been in complete darkness for 48 hours
6. Flushing makes your ash burn incredibly white and your weed taste like an angel pissing on your tongue
7. Don’t flush and you get explosions and black tar ash which causes COPD and may cause temporary mental retardation...although if you flush, you probably already suffer from the latter...so go ahead and flush
8. Flush for 10-14 days
9. Flush for 7 days
10. Don’t flush
11. You really should consider flushing...especially if you have low self-esteem. If nothing else, you’ll feel better about yourself.

Good luck and happy flushing to all you mother flushers!

Yes I think it's common courtesy to flush the toilet.

I give my plants niacin to flush before their drug test

It's really up to you.

Take a look at this and you decide

Cannabis Flushing Research Study

In our research study, RX Green Technologies evaluated the effects of different flushing times on chemical profile, flavor, and smoke of cannabis flower.

From your article...

• Rx Green Technologies evaluated the effects of different flushing times on chemical profile, flavor, and smoking characteristics in Cannabis flower.
• Flushing periods of 14, 10, 7 and 0 days were imposed on Cherry Diesel.
• No differences were detected between flush treatments for yield, potency, or terpenes.

No difference yield potency or terps. Why keep feeding for 2 additional weeks then? Cause a nutrient manufactures "scientific" study says so?

So weve now determined there are zero benefits to NOT flushing. Then check this

Flower samples taken the day before harvest were analyzed for content of essential plant nutrients. Overall, there was no significant change in the mineral content of flower as a result of different flushing treatments (Figure 3). In Cannabis flushed for 14 days, nitrogen was 6.7% lower than the zero-day flush treatment (Figure 3a). Continuing to feed nitrogen can increase its concentration in the plant, reducing the need for the plant to use its reserves for essential functions. Phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur were similar for all four flushing treatments (Figure 3a-b).

Lowers nitro by 6.7%? And this "scientific" study passes this off as insignificant. Save money on nutes and time mixing them and considerably lower nitrogen content. Did you even read the article you posted..?
