“Bro science” and flushing question

Hey bro, I don’t flush either, I just lower the nutrients down as harvest gets closer. Keep ‘em barely wet, drop the feed gently, let the plant finish on her own terms. In organics, flushing doesn’t even work like it does in salt-based grows. That “bro science” debate is just people arguing semantics. You’re doing a clearing phase, that’s already the right idea. It’s not about starving the plant, it’s about not overfeeding when she’s wrapping up. Looks like she’s fading naturally already. Let her ride it out. You're good 👍😊

Light Setup from the botton / side????????

Hello. If you grow organic you don't need to flush. Just don't add any more nutrients in the last 2 weeks. Yes I've read, like you, that you don't have to any more, But I'll still flush. I've tasted pot that hasn't been flushed and it tasted awful. So, I flush for taste. always will, no matter who says what. Like I've said I do it for the taste. I think the people who don't flush and grow with nutrients right up till harvest, can't taste it. Do a test to see what you like... Do you have 2 clones of the same strain,.. grow and flower them and at the end, flush one and after you cure and smoke them see if there is a difference you can taste Ever heard of the ash test? See if the ash of the joint is your smoking is white or gray. Flushed cannabis is white... and unflushed is... gray. 😝 Ever heard a joint sizzle when taking a big hit, It's got too much nutrient left in it. You do the best thing for your smoke... If your selling it than it doesn't matter... Good Luck...

There are reasons to only add water towards the end, I never want to end the grow with medium that is full of nutrients I want the plant to use as much reserves as it can and I want the to have a slight struggle.. the phrase bioscience is used loosely and how does anyone know what your goal is and rhe best way to achieve it if they only point out thinks rhat havnt or can't be proven YET.. You do what you belive and find works for you. No1 can call rhat bioscience just your own way of doing things. Don't follow the crowd they are mostly wrong... Hope this helps...

You can flush a medium.. you cannot 'flush' a plant. Adding excess water or diluting a medium will have no effect on plant mass that has already grown. Even stuff growing is built according to instructions (DNA) and not haphazardly put together with whatever happens to be floating by in abundance. e.g. Cellulose (just one thing a cell builds to replicate) has a chemical formula. If it isn't that combination/configuration, then it isn't cellulose. Can extreme fucked up ratios or excessive nutes cause weird growth? Sure, but the context here is a healthy plant because we don't purposely grow fucked up dumpster fires, right? As long as the canopy can cannibalize itself to provide what is used/needed, it's fine to flush. If you flush to the point the plant is unable to procure necessary building blocks then growth stops or slows. this is obviously a net-negative if it occurs. As long as the plant isn't completely devoid of building blocks provided or available from its own storage, it really doesn't matter if you flush or not. Flushing will not change mineral content of the flower. It'll still be constituted the same way. This is why blind taste tests show 50/50 split on people preference - i.e. they have no fucking clue which buds were flushed or not. What you do the last week or two will have minimal impact on the results anyway compared to the ~90 days of effort and plant growth beforehand. In my opinion, you should keep doing what you do to maintain health throughout the grow. Avoid deficiencies. avoid toxicities. Keep it healthy. Don't overfeed. If you have a strong canopy, you can save a little effort not mixing nutes and just providing ph-balanced water near the end. Sometimes it's nice to be lazy, but it doesn't impact the flower. parallel, but not logical reasoning: Do they flush the earth in large outdoor grows? No, because the very idea of doing so would be absurd AF. this correlates but isn't proof. just as 'how it happens in nature' is not proof something is "best." Still need to prove the things that are claimed. The burden of proof is on the people claiming flushing does something positive. I can find no empirical evidence to support it when i look - just anecdote. What i do see is evolving reasoning as the old things they said are proven not true. Originally 'they' sad flushing reduces mineral content. That was proven false, so then 'they' said "oh no, i meant it was something else as to why." LOL, If this doesn't raise some concerns about the integrity of their arguments, there's no point in a conversation. Beliefs based on faith alone are bad beliefs to cling to. The lack of evidence to support it is a red flag on its own. This hobby is riddled with all sorts of strongly held beliefs that nobody ever gave one ounce of effort to prove is true. yet, they'll freak the fuck out if you contradict them with solid reasoning or question the validity of it.
