The only really amazing wunder-pot thread that I have recently run across was about the use of Colchicine, a deadly extremely toxic chemical, that is used in breeding to create polyploidy in plants. The Colchicine prevents the microtubule formation during cell division, so the chromosomes do not pull apart like they normally do. The end result is a cell that now has double the number of chromosomes that it would normally have. If this cell divides again in the future, then the doubled number of chromosomes are passed to the offspring cells.
That means, theoretically, it could be possible to breed, say, two 20% THC strains together and end up with a 40%THC strain. I have known of it being used with various plants and trees, but only recently did I hear about it being used to breed cannabis, allegedly with success. I do not know of any professional breeders who using it or who might use it, but theoretically it is possible.

no, We fed our girls a high ppm for the last feeding and people tell us it's the best tasting stuff around. again, flushing is for toilets and hydro

I have read the basic content of this thread and I have concluded that the day you switch to a F&D lava rock/clay gravel hydro system the contents of this thread is no longer an issue in growing marijuana.

so what are you saying? use my normal feed schedule? use water and carbs for final waterings? use my normal schedule feed, water, feed, water etc...? give it water only for final few weeks?

To flush my plants I vase them in RO water after I cut them for the last 24 hour shift. I remove them when the lights go one. Ferts run all the time in my system.

in soil, we feed all the way until it's time to pull, no flushing unless the plant was overfed. flushing is a way to fix the problem of overfeeding.look at foxfarms feeding chart for soil, as an example. they don't stop feeding the last few weeks.

flushing is only really for preventing and resolving nute lock out or over fertilizing, people need to listen to people with experience ie brick top, I grow in hydro and only rinse, the hydroton when i change the res, flush with water the last 5 days to have little better burn to smoke after it cures

I find that flushing without the roots does a better job of improving smell, taste and burn than running plain water for the last 5-14 days and it's more efficient.

i agree with this as well..tho ive read many others opinions and procedures, i am in the final countdown (10 days!) for my first grow myself, i had some issues with leaf burn and nute lock, so i simply flushed each plant with a gallon of reg tap water.then 4 days later restarted up with some simple 3-2-1 solution and molasses.ive used molasses the entirety of flowering,i think its given my girls some def increased density and vigor. should i keep on adding molasses till done? ive just been giving them clean water for about a week now...?

so you put to much nutes in and had to flush out YOUR mistake? Exactly what I have been saying, flushing is to fix a problem you created. If you are feeding correctly, there shouldn't be anything EXTRA in there to need flushing.

There's nothing funny about it. I vase my plants after I crop them with RO water to produce a nice taste and good burning. This is what we refer to as flushing. I do this on the last shift and I remove them to dry when the lights come on. I flood and drain my table three times daily so there isn't any danger of anything building up in the lava rock/pea gravel. It's like I said, the day you switch to a F&D lava rock/pea gravel hydro system the contents of this thread will no longer be relevant to the growing of marijuana.

lol well it wasnt really a problem,i assumed nute lock, just a couple leaves with some light burned edges, most wouldnt bother. i was mainly replying to the molasses.

word well i think the taste has more to do with drying and curing rather than flushing...i am sticking to the normal schedule, hell i just fed my plants yesterday and decided to chop one today...i will see if it is any different than one i pulled after a normal watering.
flushing imo is only for overfed plants and unless yuo do it a few times its not a flush. when i feed according to FoxFarms schedule i use just water in between feedings. so i do water, feed, water....its not called flush, feed, flush...
flushing is a lot of water to remove a problem, thanks guys.
