I've done it both ways no real difference so I just quit flushing but could see where strain choice & growing method could come into play I like your username we used to call elvin pig boy crabshaw don't know where it started but elvin always put on a good show especially in the smaller gigs

Yeah, man. I definitely comes into play. I wasn't trying to be rude, but some of this stuff is hilarious. I live in a legal state and know a lot of people who grow a lot of weed a lot of different ways for all sorts of reasons. How people choose to feed their plants is their business. Someone said something about they read something somewhere about how it's hard for people to accept that they were wrong or something to that affect. That's exactly right, because it isn't that I don't understand. It's that you got played into spending more money to get virtually the same product. It's hard to accept that... that after knowing this, spending more money, and then applying it... their product really isn't that much better.

HA HA HA, funniest thread title I've seen in a while.

To all you flushers, don't let your confirmation bias get in your way, it is okay to be wrong and learn from your mistakes.

Let's see those fatty buds, then. Something that correlates to your feeding schedule and how much bigger it is in relation to that of a 5 week flush. Show me the money, or shut up. Haha. You can act cool all you want. Sorry. You got played. You can't do it. I know you can't do it. Show me where you're not spending more money to get the same thing, and then be arrogant about it. Please... say "science" . You're speaking of fallacies that you're a victim of. You spent more money to get the same shit. Brilliant. "Mistakes" hahaha. You, as well as many others on this thread have completely missed the point. I think you lack critical thinking skills, because I'm pretty sure I said that I understand. You keep going back to this "it's ok to be wrong" thing... I'm not wrong if you can't show me this product that you spent more on if it isn't THAT much better. You fail at econ 101, sir. Input/output. The plant nor the bud is in no way, shape, or form "better" in any sense of the word because of the fact that you fed it to the last day or whatever; not in any measure that relates to the the length of time fed or money spent.

and that has to do with your feeding schedule? ARe you sure? Are you sure that isn't strain dependent and varies pretty dramatically?

well, why would you starve a plant when they are trying to put on weight.

and yes, that is a fact. not strain dependent at all

the whole pot scene has gotten so commercial it isn't funny just like high dollar fishing lures that don't necessarily catch fish just catch people

I understand the difference between flushing and leaching, do you? I also understand what curing properly does to your buds, do you? I'm growing organic these days for personal reasons, but I can keep them green and happy until harvest. A fade is definitely not required for smooth smoke.

these buds that you get becausse you feed longer... evidently it's beneficial and everyone was wrong for decades. They may have been. I want to see this benefit in feeding to the last day. So you know something... it probably isn't doing anything for you. Does that make good sense to you? You're more than welcome to your school of thought, but science aside... your product isn't that much better. Period.

I was tripping on your 40% longer comment. Who has ever suggested flushing for week upon week? Are you running some magical 30 day strain or something?

You flush for 3 to 4 weeks?

We're not talking about the difference between the two. I'm talking about your product being that much better because you do what you do, and then telling other people they've made a mistake when there's no real discernible difference in the quality of your smoke.

It's a tid bit of science that nutrient companies latched onto and promoted, and now every kid that grows weed thinks he knows because GH or some company told him so.

This statement is ass backward, seeing as how GH(and many other companies) markets a flushing product.

I grow in soil only these days, and i really don't get any better, more, or bigger buds from feeding any longer than through about week 5, with the exception of a PK boost in like week 6 and that's it. In hydroponics, it's obviously much different as things happen much more quickly. I've fed until about 4 days before harvest and stopped mid week 5, and the best smoke for me seems to come from that schedule. I didn't notice any benefit and feeding longer, or not flushing. I think of it as just not feeding... not "flushing"

are you giving them RO/distilled water or tap/well when you flush your soil?

if tap/well, technically there is at least Ca and Mg in there among others.

Not feeding and flushing are very different. Flushing on this site is defined as putting about 3X pot volume of water through your pots.
