Thank you for the info! These were all outdoor and I flushed with 7.0 (neutral PH ) water and
Clearex (typo above) for min2 weeks and 3 weeks for others as they were not ready to harvest at same time. There was slight dust/dirt on them being outdoors all summer, although when harvested I give each branch a good shake before hanging-hung all in dark, cool garage for minimum 2 weeks.
I did not take PPM read when flushing.
I also did not use others recent advice to brown bag buds prior to jarring which I will def do this coming season. Also did not use hygrometer to ensure RH was 5-6.0 in paper bag before jarring, which I will also do next time!
Rinsing buds in cold water with lemon juice or vinegar and baking soda kinda raises the hair on my neck when considering this method because rinsing buds with water scares me that mold may occur even though others swear by the method.
I’ve read so much research on using uncured virgin molasses as helping the plants to be able to absorb micro nutrients better than if not using it seem to make sense to me and I’m not sure whether I’m ready to give up using molasses during the flowering process.
As far as flushing the plants goes I did switch from using water flush only to every other day using water with the
Clearex every other day for a minimum Of two weeks and obviously no feeling of any nutrients or molasses during the flushing process.
The bottom line is I guess bagging buds in paper bags helping the chlorophyll to escape and checking the RH With a hygrometer to reach 5.5-6.5 prior to jarring make a lot of sense to me which I was missing in my steps of curing this year.
