I would still flush you can't go wrong.hey guys i was using flora nova with molasses and a potassium suppliment in soil and then for the last 2 weeks i just only gave them molasses and the potassium, leaves are starting to yellow but are still light green, i was told the flush is unnecessary because i wasnt using a lot of nutrients,.. whats your oppinions on this? lol,... thanks for any input guys!
120% disagree with your opinion. But to each his own...You couldn't pay me to smoke buds grown that way.IMO Pre-harvest flushing is not only unnecessary, but potentially harmful to your plants. It places stress on the root zone by altering the amount of dissolved solids when the plant needs it most. I notice that my buds start packing on weight around the last few weeks. Why starve them when they are still growing?
Do you think that when you see the plant cannibalizing its fan leaves (Source of assimilates) that it doesn't affect the flowers (sink of assimilates)? If the plant doesn't have these (immobile) elements available, then certain metabolic processes are unable to take place. ie - It could affect the growth of your buds.
I've run Jack's Classic or Dyna-Gro (1/2 strength a week before harvest) all the way up until chop. I had healthy green leaves and beautiful buds. With a proper cure, everyone who sampled raved about how flavorful they were. No complaints of fertilizer taste or black and sparkly ash.
I believe that black ash and herb that won't stay lit is attributed to an improper cure rather than "too much N stored in your bud."
You flush your media, not your plants BTW.
That yellowing is what you want. The extra nitrogen will make it taste like shit. I would have cut out potassium too. Molasses only for 2 weeks FTW. Not flushing only works with true organics and if your smart enough to not have any extra ferts left over so you can get that nice lime green fade. If it doesn't stay lit while passing the bowl to your friend or doesn't make perfectly white ash you fucked up and are smoking fertilizer.
The plant doesn’t excrete the nutes. The flushing removes the nutrients from the medium. This causes the plant to consume its reserves to continue photosynthesis. That’s why I flush. The plant will deplete itself and just as it’s in its last bit of life, turned all yellow and buds all fat, we chop it.I have a question for the proponents of flushing. How does the plant excrete the nitrogen and other nutes that are being removed?
If you don't flush you don't become a judgmental asshole. LMFAO How do your farts smell?Flushing by definition is blocking the uptake of nutrients from the soil. Its not changing the soil. Its changing the pressure between the inside and outside of the root. The type of shit that happens in a 24 hour period if you have any interest in nature at all. Since ya know pot used to be a natural product and was always harvested at night when nutes were growing roots not shoots.
The whole flushing debate will always rage on, until half the population evolves the taste buds which the other half possesses. And evolves past financial interests and into spiritual ones. Meaning subhumans will always be growing commercial weed in chemical baths. And connoisseurs will always wonder why those people even grow weed or who the fuck is buying all the garbage they grow.
