i wanted know about flavor NOT potency.i have read here about the toxic build up of plant food that burns the plant thus i was wonderin about if its more of a burnier flavor.
i will checkout the potency/curing writings anyhow.

[jim55555]

i read the material.the flavor seems to die off over time BUT the potency increases.that makes sense,what about the plants that got plantfood burn,when the leaves tips are yellow i think brown and the foliage darkens.theres alot of pics here of different stages of the affliction,my intrest is only about the flavors affects of excess salts and salt biuld up in plants .i wonder if the flavors will be more saltier,it would seem to take alot of toxic salts to unbalance the salt/sugar content enough to give it a not so sweet taste with included a slight burning sensation.

also while im here,ive already read alot of material here however i cannot find information about root rot and the affects on flavor if there is any.i would imagine theres not any affects on flavor associated with root rot.

let me know your thoughts.

They taste like metal, can give you a headache and the buds dry very crispy and very fragile. Just flush your plants.

will plants with dead salts still have a odor while they are alive or will there be no odor whats so ever.:thumbsup:

I'm sorry.....i'm not sure what you mean. Odor of ? Just that lovely blooming ganja smell? Yes if you are talking about the scent of the flowers.

But if you are asking about some sort of odor or smell due to the salt build up itself...then no.

ok i just got some more info.i figured if you knew a little about the setup you might be able to help him.he has a dwc setup with 2
2x3 trays.on benches about 20" off the ground.they have a fill/drain connecter at the end of each tray ,they are connected with general hydro blue tubing via T fitting then one line goes into the rez to the output on a pump which is on the bottom of the rez.he is using 6" mesh pots w a rw cube with hydroton filling the rest of the pot.

he uses a 400 and a 150hps

he has already had success with this exact setup,i figured it might be important to know that too.
when the system runs a cycle it starts to fill the 2 trays,it takes about 6-8 minutes and then another 8-9 to drain back into the rez.ph is perfect 5.5 nutes are never mixed past half strength.
he is using dynagrow grow for veg. then dynagrow bloom these are very easy salts to work with from what he told me.o n he was using the dyna brand protect silica at 2 tablespoon for 25 gallons a very small amount.bloom was mixed at 1.5 teaspoon per gallon respectivly.there is a fan,he had spidermites n got some ooths to control them naturally because he dont never use poisons.
so when the water pumps into these trays it can fills the tray to the top of the mesh pots then they soak a few mn then drain.
it seems like a very simple setup to me, one time he said to me that if he sat on front of them and watched them for 6hrs he could see them growing.whats the proper way to flush the salts he said he used regular tap water to flush then for 24hrs then went back to 1 teaspoon bloom.
as for the odor he said he smells almost nothing in the room he said the rez has more odor then the plants.

let me know what you think,he mentioned clearex he said he seen in the internet.

I flush my plants the same way it's explained here.....at least the last several days of the grow and more if possible. I use Flora Kleen but Clearex is along the same line and I'm sure would be fine.

what about the absence odor from the plants? that seems like a much more serious problem.he has flushed them with regular water and i mean lots of regular water.O THE PLANTS do not have extreme salt biuldup,the leaves are not curling under only some of the tips are yellowish some brownish.

i got some more info,some of the stems have reddish streaks on them,many of the leaf stems have reddish to purple leaf stm color.
im not a expert at growing plants myself ,but i know from raising other plants that those colors are deficeincies.

he seems to be fixated on the absence of odor,like you said the sweet flowering smell is non-existant ,i beleive its driving him mad,the mystery at least to him.
