I'm fascinated by this flushing subject. ABF says he doesnt flush. Stinkbud says flushing triggers something in the plants that help them finish.
I've been flushing for a week or two each time. I love the idea, because it saves money on nutrients. yeah, I'm that cheap. I'm going to run nutrients the entire time for a crop or two, just to see if there is a difference. The leaves on the flushed plants do turn all sorts of colors though, which means that the plants are sucking nutients from the leaves, which is good right? Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe the leaves are just turning color because they dont have the proper nutrients and are starving.
Supposedly, a proper cure will get rid of anything bad that people dont enjoy smoking, shit if I Know, I try to grow, dry and cure correctly, but it's a crapshoot and everyone has different oppinions.
what I really want, is an educated argument for flushing, that would convice me that it's needed.
Oh, and for all you proponents of NOT flushing (gypsy) try flushing one harvest, and see if your yields really suffer or not, with a perpetual, a couple grams shouldnt break your heart if it doesnt work.
If my op was more consistant, I'd try a flush/non-flush scenario to see what the weight difference is, but I'm not to that level yet.
This is fun.
