I knew someone would say something, you guys do me a favour and take better care of your diesel trucks if you don’t already! lol
Funny. I figured you were working on cars or something. Looks like grease. I'm sure you're a fan of O'Keeffe's Working Hands. I use that shit all the time. I was just giving you shit, lol.

Honestly with the emissions they run on some engines now, the oil is so black and staining from running exhaust gas threw the intake. Brake clean and a brush is the trick. :)

That's gotta dry the fuck outta your skin, but maybe you have tough skin. I have to use this shit with my dry hands. It's great stuff.

It does, I usually wash up with something like that, I hate lotions on my hands so they have toughened up over the years. Something like OKeeffes is needed in our harsh winter RH however.

I hate lotions on my hands too, but O'Keeffes doesn't bother me. I put it on, and let it soak in for a few minutes then I rinse them off. They don't feel like they have lotion on them then, but the Working Hands is still in the little cracks in my skin. It's super dry here in CO year round, so I don't let myself runout of it. It's the only hand lotion I'll use and only when I need it.

O'Keeffe's is some amazing stuff! My praise and gratitude to a mechanic. I've done my I own work from tranny repair to engine swaps but I couldn't imagine doing it on a daily basis.

Thanks man, I’m close to 20 years in, if I could get out easy I would, but picking up another trade and starting over at my age isn’t feasible lol. Gotta start drop shipping led lights or something haha.

I was going to say it looked like you've been working on a car or something.

Did you get your truck running?

A flushing comparison was done side by side with a no flushing plant and the results were weighed and tested in a lab.

There was no measurable difference between flushing and not flushing when it comes to nutrient content in the plant matter. Both plants were roughly the same. The weights did differ with the flushed plant having a lower mass.

This is fact, flushing for any benefit besides cleaning out a nutrient lockout or a salt build up is pointless.

What flushing does do for a plant that is finishing its lifecycle is strip out available nutrition from the root zone and force the plant to slow growth and start to cannibalize nutrients from the plant matter.

This means your buds will not develop to their full potential.

There will always be people that will choose to flush but it really is a foolish way to end an otherwise good run.
Thank u
