And what specifically IS the chemical component? I've been using dilute humic acid to flush the soil.

Yes it does uptake that flushing mineral.

No; I do not know what they are using. I do have some one getting me that information. He has access to a mass-spec so that will give us answers.

I believe what it does do is to alter the mineral so the plant discards them as part of the normal process is all. This will force the plant to use up the stored minerals, starches and sugars that are in the fan leafs first. Thus you get the yellow leaf at the end. As it uses up the fan leafs you can clip them as they no longer server the plant. But leave a little stem attached and don't alter the stock or branch.

The plant will start to use up the stored energy in the other leafs and the stock as well as stems too; if you flush long enough.

This will speed up the cure time and provide you with a better and healthier product in the end.

This is also why I say everyone should flush even organics.

The fear of e-coil is real for those who use real organics, think about what you are using, (products that do work and are natural yes, I use them my self) but if you think about what they are most of them are shit of some type or another, cow, chicken, fish, bat, bird just to name a few.

That knowledge alone should make you want to flush.

Don't you flush after you take a shit?

All joking aside; but the popularity of Organics is the second issue. How many companies (outside of fox farm, I love them) do you think would push their products out the door before they are ready because demand is so high and profits are huge.

In my opinion the same thing is happening to our farm land's that are going all Organics. Cross contamination of the water supply with manure and using manure that is not cured properly or stored properly. The rush to market and make money is ahead of everything else.

Now there is more spinach on recall this week alone.

Some may ask when will this shit end......pun intended.

Flush or not it's your choice, organics or not it's your choice.

As always I just provide the facts mixed in with logic, reason and experience.

Happy growing :hippy:
