FLUSHING BEFORE HARVEST

i did'nt think you was downplaying me,:) what you said was right you must get as much info from as many souces as possible use the info as a sort of guide line and work out the best way to grow your way,and you will get really top noch bud,dont skimp on the weed and you will get nice weed.happy growing dude and good luck.:) :) :)let us know how it turns out:jointsmile:

ok if i understand your question here is my answer:
You need to flush to wash out all the impurities in the soil as well as in the plant itself. This will make the weed taste better. I have even read about giving it a taste if for the last 2 waterings you give it some watered down juice.

Gornik: sugar water or molassis water will only sweeten the bud. Its mostly needed during VEG because its a secondary sourse of sucrose sugar which she needs and makes during photosynthisis so your actually helping here out at the same time and it will increase yeild.

Hope i helped.

^^^ummm no mollasses IS needed in flower, it provides carbs for the plant to grow huge buds. you can use it in vegging too, but it is usually used for flowering.

as for the flushing thing- harris and i have been wondering the same thing, about should we flush, should we not flush and just water a lot for the last 10 days, etc etc. so far we haven't really heard a definitive answer, everyone seems to have their own method. i think we are just gonna water them with plain, pHd water for the next while...but enough water each time to allow some runoff and slowly wash away all the buildup in the soil. instinct tells me that doing a proper thorough flush near the end is a good idea as well as that, to make sure all the shit gets outta the soil and buds. anyways, i will be following this thread to ssee what others' have to say as well.

I only know what I read from differant sites.

gornik,

Did you fertilize while you were using the molasses water mixture during flowering?

Thanks.

Herbaltivo: Yes I did. Still do. I mix half of the molasses and half Big Bloom, Grow Big, or Tiger Bloom, or a combo of each, depending on the stage. I haven't been growing long, and I only grow five plants at a time. But I'm a quick learner. The first grow was educational and stressful at the same time because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. This time things are going much smoother. The plants (Cal Bud) look healthy, so far. They're going on four weeks. Still haven't sexed.

Bottom line, everyone has their way of doing things. The applications are numerous and you're going to find people that will tell you to do it this way or that way. Do what works for you. Keep learning, searching and incorporating what you research into your routine. Scratch what doesn't work and keep what does. This isn't brain surgery. The bud I harvested first time around is much better than the weed the seeds came from.:smokin:

You know this weeks grow report is all about finishing your bud.

Flushing, trimming & curing your plant for a good quality bud.

Happy growing.

Awesome. I have listened to a few of your podcasts and they are very informational. Thanks for taking the time to put them out Zandor. Even if some of us are silent we do appreciate you sharing the wisdom of your experience. :jointsmile: Have you thought about submitting it to the iTunes directory? I kind of doubt they would allow it because they can be finicky but it's probably worth a try.
