I tried it myself. Hahaha
Decent ash. :)I tried it myself. Hahaha
Thanks ...Thats botanicare pro soil and dry koolbloom fed 7 times and tap water the restDecent ash. :)
This is good stuff!!! What about betacyanin? Its not a flavanoid but does produce color.. you say you have a trouble with high brix.. as in getting white ash?The boiling point of a carbon atom is 4,000 c or 8,000 degrees F and increases with the length of the carbon chain. Lets see if you can get even a turbo torch close to those temps.
I find that I have more trouble with strains that have high Anthocyanin production or high Brix levels at harvest. So let examine it some.
Anthocyanin has a molecular structure of,
C15H11O+
Glucose
C6H12O6
Sucrose
C12H22O11
Cellulose
C6H10O5
Look at the ratios of the Carbon molecule of Anthocyanin compared to the basic plant material. We know another form of carbon reduction is from oxidation. So if we look at the conversion from Sucrose to Cellulose we see we used 6 oxygen molecules to reduce our carbon molecules by 6 also, with a single oxygen molecule in Anthocyanin you can see how there would be less Carbon reduction from oxidation.
According to wiki they are not related but they both have a glucoside and require light for synthesis.This is good stuff!!! What about betacyanin? Its not a flavanoid but does produce color.. you say you have a trouble with high brix.. as in getting white ash?
But Nature does flush...Bottomless pot...Fall cold rain rain rain rain...water runs off and drains away....What you call that? But I do agree with a True Living Organic grow...a flush ain't needed.I personally grow organic and find no need to flush.........flush what ??? Lol
Do fruit and vegetable farmers flush their crops ? I don't flush my veggie garden and it tastes great! !
Very cool idea. I never considered a before and after bowl pic. Here’s my contribution:I tried it myself. Hahaha
I don’t know about all that man. What I do know is I’ve personally done it both ways and flushing was better. Maybe it’s anecdotal, but it’s good enough for me.No the research is pretty solid in that tissue analysis was conducted on 3 crops. Lab work never lies. 3 separate crops were given different treatments. The first irrigation treatment was the ‘control’ which was the standard irrigation procedure used in the facility. This treatment has irrigation events every 2 to 3 days. The second irrigation treatment termed ‘mild-stress’ was an irrigation event applied every 2 days, and the third irrigation treatment termed ‘moderate-stress’ was an irrigation event applied every 3 days. Flushing occurred over the last two weeks of production when the nutrient solution was replaced with water (no nutrients) during routine irrigation events. Another flushing method was to apply an additional 10L of water without any fertilizer to the plant over two irrigation events at the start of the two-week period of water only irrigation.
What my thoughts are though is that more could be going on with flushing and things may occur at an organic level. Certainly though the idea that you can flush nutrients that have accumulated in the plant tissue flies in the face of all known plant science and all this study did was confirm what any plant scientist would already understand. The thing is, is the grow community caught up in a collective hysteria of myth or is something else going on beyond a futile attempt to flush nutrients from the plant tissue?
Perhaps people are equating smoothness with the removal of nutrients. Those two may not be related at all. I’m just saying it was a more pleasant smoke with a good flush, that’s all.The upside is that no yield or quality losses occur if you flush correctly for the last 14 days so at least growers save on inputs. It's an interesting one isn't it though? Scientifically the vote is in - as expected you can't flush nutrients from the plant tissue; that said, something else could be going on or the greatest myth of the grow culture is that flushing is a must.
I should add the disclaimer that I’m in coco and run multiple auto feeds per day. So when I say “flush” I mean I’m only running a leeching agent or plain RO water for the last 10 days or so. I think that 4 events per day may have a different effect than an event every 2 or 3 days.
