cold water flush before harvest

[Noob_89lakay]

Hello all, brand new to the website I trust everyone is doing great. I need some help please. I've heard that flushing with cold water before harvest can increase potency of a plant and also the colour of the bud, is this true.

IMO negative. There are crop steering techniques that can stress the plant and produce some beneficial effects but simply dumping cold water on before harvest I don't believe will increase potency.

It's well know that creating the right stresses at the right time has its benefits but I don't feel this is one of them.

Of course I'm no authority on crop steering.

the term crop steering cracks me up. I think it just replaces the term bro science in the weed growing world to sound more legitimate. ;-)

What's the proper term then?

bro science. No one is accomplishing what they think they see with all these forum techniques. The plants grow better and more potent without any of them.

Used in not just cannabis but in many agricultural crops... if you call changing temps, humidity, lighting, nutrients, training and nutrient changes bro science I guess your correct.

Super cropping is crop steering topping is crop steering and the list goes on.. some of which you practice I notice

no it’s all just proper cultivation for the plant in question.

pouring cold water at the end is bro science.

Wait so crop steering went from bioscience to proper gardening? Lol that was fast.

I never said cold water was crop steering nor that I feel it has any benefit.

you said the cold water was crop steering. I said it was bullshit. Where did you misunderstand?

you labeled it as crop steering and said although you don’t believe that one works you are no authority on it.

And it happened to be funny to me when I read it. Sorry

I didn't label it... I was saying it I don't belive it will produce beneficial results and that there are crop steering techniques that do since that what the OP was looking to do... but I can see how it could be interpreted that way reading back.

I meant that I don't believe this would be a beneficial crop steering method... I would also class this one as bioscience but again I'm not authority on crop steering

Imo flipping to 12-12 and changing light spectrum and nutes are all types of crop steering. Not bro science.

I agree.

No I really meant calling cold water flushing crop steering was bro science.

Attempted crop steering. I tried it before and don't think it did much if anything it might lock out some nutes but just a good flush has about the same effect.

I'm about to steer my pos Colombian clone to the compost pile. Finicky bitch...
