no im about 2 do a low ryder 2 its my first 1 so was just wondering if it was good idea 2 flush them or not ?

nah I wouldnt worry too much about it to be honest with you... If it's good soil you wont have issues... I'd only flush if it's showing signs of over fert.. Do you have pine trees close to your plants?? or is it just like a kindda wooded area?

ok what soil would u recomend i use im goin 2 plant them in plant pots n nah their isnt any pine trees near where its geting done would this effect the grow?

no just if there were pine trees around you'd have to be aware of the PH lvl of the soil...

Others might have a better idea of what soil to use but what I generally use is a Miracle Gro Premium soil or a pro mix and I mix bat guano into it.. That's what works for me could be different for others and also might depend in what area you live in..

flushing is not necessary no matter how you grow, soil or hydro, indoor or out.

flushing is a myth, plain and simple. do corn farmers flush thier fields before harvest? how about tomato farmers? the "organics dont need flushing but hydro does" arguement is null and void as well.

dont believe me? try it yourself, i used to flush the shit out of my plants untill i tried it.

But what about the flavor? Doesn't the nute mix affect the flavor when you're so close to harvest?

do your tomatoes taste chemy? how about the sweet corn from the farmers market? none of it has been flushed. read a dozen or so feeding charts from different fert companies. you will find that every company that suggests flushing just happens to have the perfect product to aid in that flushing. fox farm has no flushing product and no flushing guidlines in thier feeding chart as do many others.

pot growing is BIG business for fert companies. they rely on marketing, flash, and the constant stream of misinformation supplied via the internet. just look at some of these product names - collasal bud blast, ooze, purple maxx, sensibloom, pirahnah juice, ect... all obviously aimed toward pot growing and all priced high to boot.

i grow for personal use only so flavor is very important to me. i feed at full strength untill the last week of flowering then i feed at half strength untill harvest. my pot is consistantly the best in the room no matter where i may be.

flavor come out with the cure, a clean burn comes out with the cure, good texture comes out with the cure....noticing a pattern?

I always flush mine for 1-2 weeks, for the fact that smoking it when not flushed gives me a bit of a sore throat, and not when I do flush. just my 2 cents worth.

I agree 100%..I don't waste my $$ on fancy marketed grow and bloom products either and I grow monster plants every year....I tried all that crap and found that good soil with good drainage and lots of sunshine does the trick better than any I have tried....Mother nature knows best
