I love your work.

Because the end flush does what?

Smokes better? (imo)

Now let me ask, why do you prefer flowers that have been fed up to cut vs when you try flowers that have not been fed leading up to the end?

he told you....it satisfies his preference

 

[Dumme]

I prefer flushing with Mt Dew myself, just saying...

Yellow #40 makes all the difference.

 

[chemphlegm]

here are the reasons I would feed to the end

1)Heavier (buds)vegetable material at the end
2) really pretty leafy flowers
3) late finishes
4) off tastes unless fermented in jars for months maybe
5) at two weeks drying smells like my lawn after fertilizing

be interesting to know if others experience these advantages too

I asked why it was his preference. Did he tell me that yet?

"confirmation bias" in action, as explained earlier in this thread.

Can you explain to me what you think that means?

No worries folks do what ya do but be aware that others do great things even if the methods fly in the face of what you might want others to believe that you know as fact.

not feeding doesn't waste money, but a lot of people use products "designed" to flush their plants...expensive products that have fuck all in them that isn't in a bottle or bag already in their closet, thats where the wasting money comes in

when i was younger, i got put in "treatment" . once i got caught at school with a qp in my gym bag, and they sent me to the rehab unit at the state hospital for 3 months...the state mental hospital....there was a separate building for adult drug and alcohol abuse patients, a slightly smaller unit for juveniles, then the huge scary ass building full of crazy fuckers. we had to go to class in that building, and eat in the cafeteria there. with the crazy fuckers. there was one guy, if you asked him what was for lunch, he'd tell you "fish"...he could be eating hotdogs and tater tots, but he'd hold it up and smile, and say "fish".....i told him once, "that ain't fish, that's hotdogs and tater tots."....."he looked at it for a minute, then looked up at me and told me "i don't like hotdogs, i like fish." then went back to eating. can't argue with logic......

I watched a documentary in the UK about people who had been put into juvenile programs for "weed addiction" and I always wondered what happened in the USA since legalisation, surely people must realise they done their family wrong putting them in those awful places by now? Maybe I'll start a thread about it. Sorry to go off topic.

Faith-based growing is fine if that's what you're into. Enjoy.

I simply prefer flowers that I am going to consume with a nice end of run flush

"Simply" is the key word there.

You should flush with Brawndo. It's amazing.

 

[dagwood45431]

Now let me ask, why do you prefer flowers that have been fed up to cut vs when you try flowers that have not been fed leading up to the end?

Because flushing doesn't affect the taste and I'd like to make sure my buds get as fat and juicy as possible and starving them is counter productive to that goal. Also, I grow for personal consumption only so keeping the nutes going throughout my small grows is not a cost issue. I hope I answered your question with greater specificity than you answered mine. But again, arguing with faith is tedious and pointless.

 

[dagwood45431]

It was another attempt to bring a simple analogy...

Analogies are great as long as they're true. Yours was not.

 

[dagwood45431]

Can you explain to me what you think that means?

In this case, it means faith over reason.

Because it doesn't DO anything FOR removing ANY nutrient from a plant!
Waste of time. Raises pH to long. Removes nutrition from the plant at the bulking phase - one of the plants MOST important times!

If it means anything to you. I stop feed 4-5 days before the harvest in any feeding situation. There is enough nutrition left in the soil to comfortably carry it those 4-5 days.......I'm not attempting to remove anything from the plant - Simply saving $ by not using feed when I don't have to.

Good to hear all opinions man, Cheers for the reply
