The "super taster" thing is bullshit too, flushing doesn't work the way it's advertised, so regardless of your sense of taste, there is no difference. Buds don't store nutes, and all nutes are the same chemicals (regardless of brand or synthetic/organic) once they're metabolized... These are facts. The plant doesn't "use up" nutrients when you stop feeding.
Oh, well im glad we cleared that up. Do leaves store nutes, do stems and roots? Yes...they do. But i guess if some people can tell the difference they must be wrong because YOU cant tell the difference o end-all-of-growing-information...but thanks for clearing that up, im going to go tell everyone, "hey, so harrakin said that flushing is bullshit, and after all HE is the authority on all things growing, so we dont need to flush anymore.
haha
You are totally correct about that, that even plants with the same treatment can have differences. That does throw a whole other variable into the controversy. Happy tending
I don't think Hobby Lobby sells microscopes strong enough to see bacteria. And you can't see them unless you use staining techniques. Also, to know "what sort" they are, you need to be trained; there are basically two types but there are thousands or millions in each morphology. When I studied microbiology in college we used 1500 power microscopes. But it is very cool to see.
Yep, good ole beta strep, very nasty shit; I studied that in depth. You can see the bacteria under a 900 x but that doesn't get you enough detail for identification - even if you're a bacteriology guru. There are a lot of things that are very cool to look at under 900. Many little critters look like alien creatures. Check out talcum powder under the scope!
There is nothing for the plant to 'feed on' in plain water... But you still have it under your light, so it's still trying to grow without food. This reduces potency.
That's interesting, but incorrect. My leaves are translocating N and are yellowing nicely... and it's not because I'm flushing.
aside from that ramble..
I Agree, Harrekin.
100%........
Appreciated, but I've not come to my decision based on available information I've read. I've come to my conclusion based on the empirical evidence of my past grows. I've seen a direct link between flushing and reduced quality bud. But as I explained in my journal, my system is hyper accelerated, so even a few days with nothing but water can hurt my plants. The same may not be true for others.
Hobby Lobby also carries glass canning jars, they were on sale for a buck each a few weeks ago.
