Zandor , please put my name at the top of the list. There is no knowlegde that is not power. I'm shure it will be worth it. I'd go from east coast to west coast for a book sighning. Good luck on selling and moving, I hope you don't get ripped off. You know you can come to the east coast and get a house twice the size for half the money. I know I build them. We get a lot of retired people from up north that just don't want the heat of florida.
I get a headache from smoking the pot I just cured. It's uncured hydro. I'll start the flushing today.
Put me down for a copy of your books too, zandor.
Well then everyone who want's an advanced copy notice needs to send me an email so I can make sure you are on the list.
My understanding is that you flush if you don't want to smoke chemicals, which may affect the taste. Flushing has dissadvantages as well as advantages.
Consider:
- If something alive has no food, it eats itself. I assume this must be detrimental to development.
- What you flush with may affect taste.
- If you don't flush you may taste chemicals.
- If you are worried about chemicals you could always just go organic the last week or two, but that probably affects taste too.
I assume any change in the plants' diet may affect taste. I also assume plants grown in 1 soil mix may taste different than a clone of that plant grown in a different soil mix.
Personally, I grow in hydro and I've never flushed. As far as I know, I've never had a nutrient related headache.

Even if you grow 100% organic you still need to flush or you will taste the organic compound. Like Bat shit or bird shit or fish shit nobody wants to smoke that either. If you don't flush then you are smoking more chlorophyll and plant matter then trichomes.
Now if all you do is make hash the old school way then you can get by with out flushing. You are not smoking the plant you are only removing the trichomes.
Flushing improves the overall taste you either flush with a commercial flushing product designed for just that purpose or just use Ph adjusted water period. You don't piss on them you don't use orange juice or anything else to flush.
It takes 8-12 day's for a plant to change life cycle so in the time the plant is flushed then no effect on the health. It only takes 3-5 day's to do a proper flush in hydro anyway. What about the point you are cutting the plant with in a matter of a few days.
There are proper waysâ??s to grow and tread this plant and there are wrong ways.
Hang around here long enough and you can learn the right way to grow and finish our beloved plant.
Zandor, I didn't mean to give the impression that I can't learn anything. I believe just the opposite. I was just sharing my experiences and logic, which is of course occasionally flawed.
I didn't think about smoking chlorophyll. How is this bad? What does it do when you smoke it? I thought it was what made the plant green, and everything I smoked has always been some form of the green color. Isn't the plant still mostly green after flushing? And right now I am growing AK's. Everything except for the actual bud seems to turn yellow before harvest. Does this mean the plant ate most, or at least some, of its' chlorophyll? And is it different for different varieties?

Please forgive me for being blunt, but doesn't this sound just a little arrogant? I've always held the contention that there is no one right way. As far as I know there are thousands. If the THC hits your brain, you've done it the right way.
As far as I know there is no way I can do it your "right way" and continue with my "right way". My right way is to harvest over a period of time instead of all at once. One can greatly increase ones overall time spent high per harvest if this is done correctly. Is there some way I can flush, and harvest the buds that are ready, when they are ready instead of all at once?
