I dont think placebo played much part in my results.
-My crops burned and smoked great for about 17 years straight while I did 2 weeks plain water at the end.
-kept reading on here how flushing was pointless so I tried 3 crops in a row tapering back nutrients at the end, but kept feeding light balanced feeds to the end, pot had burn characteristic problems. Burned out easily in a joint and ashes were dark grey/black. Flavor was ruined halfway through a joint. For numerous strains 3 crops back to back.
-went back to water only finishes and smoke quality improved dramatically again.
Some would say I'm a chronic overfeeder and that explains my need to flush, but I doubt that. I hardly ever go over 1.3ec.
And.. Flushing doesn't remove anything from the plant, it cant, it just prevents it from getting there in the first place.
But the plants take up very little nutes the last two weeks IMO. For me maybe .8ec 4 more times. Maybe only 2-3 times and the last water only. Why would the little bit at the end make so much difference?
it doesn’t. We either fed right or over fed. That’s the only reason for any difference. The plant is an accumulator but not so much at the end.
