That is different then taste.
But I beleive the conversion happens when heated.IMO
Are you trying to guess when it happens? Do you not know? There is lots of information around on RIU and lots of other places that can tell you exactly when the conversion happens. Judging by your posts, you seem to base much of what you know on opinions and conjecture. There is no need when to guess when there is lots of evidence and proof laying around.

I say IMO Opinion because I do no claim to know it all.
And am alway's willing to learn from someone else.
I will leave the knowing of it al to you.
And hey there twistedfuck.
I am pretty sure I have read more of this webiste than you.
And many many more books,mags,etc.
I will steal a line a another member.
You have you're opinion. And I have grown lot's of dank herb.
 
the relevance is, ....

there are 100 threads on the boards about how hermies are the greatest thing ever for feminized seeds. what a load of crap. now this "don't need to flush" shit pops up as well. it's all BS. :wall:




what replaces the nutes is the dead foliage. you know compost. how it get there in the first place.

why does everything turn yellow in the fall? you don't want opinions, you want to argue. this is why i took my ball.
that was a great post. just recently a grower and freind of mine was forced to pull a crop of purple kush early. it was premature and was not flushed at all. (he was growing hydro) he grows nothing but purple kush perpetualy and he always flushes with clearing solution and folows with plain water and the bud is always smooth and nice tasting. on this crop he had to pull early with no flush, i rolled a joint of the bud and lit it up! as soon as i took the first hit i choked on harsh, nasty, hot smoke. it was sick! it also gave me a headache! SO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS THREAD PLEASE FLUSH ALL YOUR PLANTS PROPERLY AND TELL OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. IF FLUSHING WAS REALY POINTLESS THEN NO ONE WOULD DO IT. AND ANYONE I KNOW WHO HAS GROWN GOOD (and the key word is GOOD!) WEED FLUSHED IT!:eyesmoke::eyesmoke::eyesmoke::eyesmoke: GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO GROW!:eyesmoke:

But did you pull it BEFORE it had a chance to have a decent dark period? I did some flushing tests and i saw no change. I started using a 72hour dark period before harvesting and i get the smoothest most flavorful smoke from all my harvests now and i can pump her full of nutes till the very end. I have a low post count and someone with a higher one tried to make me look bad though so im sure this information will be ignored but at least i grow using botany and my methods are based off of empirical evidence .How many of you can say that? I'm interested in learning and spreading information while most post junkies are interested in spreading their opinions which are usually the opinions of other misinformed individuals.

There is a real simple solution for whoever wants to prevail in this discussion. Instead of getting the yard sticks and measuring our green thumbs, someone drop some science on flushing and shut everyone up. Until there is empirical evidence on the matter, the idea of flushing is simply conjecture.

Can you link some reference to show how a 72hr dark period is anymore effective or scientific then flushing? I just dont understand where the info is coming from.

a 72 hour dark period makes the plant use up the nutrients left stored in the plant essentially doing the same thing as a flush, in the dark the plant cannot produce more food for itself so it utilizes what it has stored

Anyone think the flush might make a bigger difference in hydro/aero? I kinda think that would make sense (but I'm a 0-time grower).
i suggest trying it both ways otherwise you will NEVER know for yourself. thats all ive got to say anymore, im done argueing with people who think fall leaves change because fall rains devoid the soil of nutrients every year.:wall:

im pretty sure the leaves change because of the cold you know kinda like weed sometimes turns purple in the cold has to do with chlorophyll production not nutrient deficiency.

i know why the leaves change, FDD and his blind followers dont get it. and your mostly right...the length of the days plays a role and the leaves of perrenials yellow because the plant is pulling the stored nutes from them for the long winter.

thats funny. 3 days in the dark. he flushes one day with clearing solution. two days plain water. one day no water at all. snip,cut. clearing solution releases the bond between nutrient and plant cell. flushing works. plants are best comparible to people imo if you drink a bunch of soda and beer your piss is dark yellow try drinking nothing at all but water for a solid week your piss goes crystal clear. you flushed your body. im high and you might think that sounds dumb but it makes sense to me.:bigjoint:FLUSH YOUR FREAKIN BUD PLEASE AND DO EVERYONE WHO SMOKES IT A FAVOR!:bigjoint:

If you have to say "imo" or "opinion" then your point is invalid, sir.

don't flush and just cure for 2 months, the plant will still be alive after it is cut and use up any lingering nutrients until it is dried and then it's ready to smoke.

nutrients are stored in stems and leaves so durring flushing you aren't starving the plant you are simply not refilling its "reserve tank" the parts that die are being used up
