    Curing, is it a must to break up the colas?

    I usually cut up my weed depending on the sizes of my curing jars and how I'm going to make it all fit. Some of the jars are used exclusively for large main colas, other jars are used for more cut up smaller nugs. Remember to not fill your jars more than 80%, this allows for a more control in...

    Simple Harvest and Cure (Step By Step)

    I'm pretty sure that SimonDs 'Thank you' was aimed at what I wrote earlier about flawed image in this thread. This is what he quoted when he wrote 'Thank you':

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    It's better to have one thread which is just continual, than 5 new threads each week about the same subject with the same useless newbies who think they know everything, making ridiculous claims and not backing it up with anything remotely factual. In this thread at least, there are real...

    Simple Harvest and Cure (Step By Step)

    The image about trichome colours is not completely accurate. A lot of people think that wether the trichomes are cloudy or amber when harvested will determine wether an energetic high or a couch lock effect is achieved. What really determines wether you get an energetic, head high or a couch...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    You need to read all my posts in the discussion I had with Gastanker, in this thread, to understand the crux of my point(s). I'm not saying that only leaves store nutrients, roots & stem(s) are full of minerals as well. According to the chart I linked, the leaves and stem(s) is where the...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    .... Nobody deprives their plants of _water_, not even flushers.. Do you even know what flushing is? Your posts are so ridiculous.

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    @SirLancelot: The information you provided about leaching seems to be credible. 4-6 months might be a tight variable, I know some people who grow in soil who leach their pots (in their windows) ever other month. But they might just be over reaching trying not to harm their plants.

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    That is exactly what I said to Gastanker, that he has a different view of flushing than many people on this forum do. I'm not saying I believe in the pre-harvest flushing method (what most people on this forum think the word 'flushing' means). Leaching is useful as an error correcting measure...

    You have deficiency, but it's common in late flowering. What are your PPM levels? And may I say the leaf is quite beautiful, the blending of the colours looks nice.

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    The crux of my point still applies mate. I do not believe in pre harvest flushing, not in soil nor in hydro. When I said I believe in leaching soil, I specified I ment as an error correcting measure, not as a pre harvest flush. No, I have not said lowering PPMs is good, and I do not lower them...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    I agree, but since we who don't flush our hydro grown plants are running normally balanced PPMs we do not see any reason to flush, and this is the entire discussion in a sentence. People keep saying, flush last 2 weeks in flowering, even in hydro, you get better tasting weed and it burns better...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    Yes I'm pretty sure we're talking about hydro, since most of us agree that leaching in soil is sometimes necessary as an error correcting measure or to clear salt buildup. Since SirLancelot, Harrekin and myself have mentioned in this and other threads that leaching in soil is sometimes necessary...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    Good to know :weed: 3000 PPM? The highest PPM I've seen was on another forum and he reached about 2000 or just under. He had problems with overfeeding. 1200 PPM might be overfeeding compared to every other industry, but if it doesn't cause overfeeding and the levels aren't too high, and you...

    Yes I agree, basic Cannabis biology. I pick out the stems however, I can pick them out of my grinder after I've grinded some bud up, it's very easy to pick them out in the mix, at least for me it is. I never smoke leaves or stems. What happens for most flushers who flush 2 weeks of RO water is...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    I'm very sure I didn't contradict myself, if I did, please quote me so I can see where I went wrong. What I've said from the beginning is that I don't believe in the surplus nutrients / substances theory regarding normally PPM'ed weed contra flushed weed. That is the crux of my point and that...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    I'm glad you find it helpful after all :) They do say that "growth requirements are generally achieved before high concentrations are attained". Which is an important point. And remember, this is about an abundance of nutrients fed, I don't think most Cannabis growers feed their crops with...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    Yes I wondered about that myself, but I think what most experienced growers do, is find a balanced PPM level, and always do experiments to get the proper levels which don't harm your plants. At least that is what I do myself, and I'm pretty sure I don't have those levels, I think if I did I...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    ​ How can you say that if I don't know that a fruit is a storage organ then you don't know what to tell me? What kind of flawed argument is that? I asked you to show me the evidence, you have showed me none. You say it's in every biology textbook, I have looked through the ones I own...

    The "I don't starve my plants before harvest" thread

    Alright, no worries. I still don't see how you can be certain (since you are assuming) that it is perennial, even though perennial might be the most researched of the two. Why is nutrient storage of rye grass not applicable to what we're discussing? Doesn't rye grass use the same basic plant...
