does FLUSHING produce BIGGER BUDS?

[kuri]

i know flushing a hydrosystem a week or two before harvest is good to get all the salts out of the roots and the stored nutes in the plant. and have the final product taste alot better.

my question also is does the buds tend to have a final growth spurt when you flush with ph adjusted water? do they fatten up more? will the flushing of nutes slow down the final growth?

It does nothing to growth, just makes everything tastier

[kuri]

so if you flush for 1-2 weeks, it does not "slow" growth at all?

Not that I have ever noticed Kuri. It does make a big difference in the taste. I think the buds really don't pack on the size the last 2 weeks just more trichomes but that's what we all want more of anyway. The top of the trichomes just get larger and rounder then turn cloudyâ?¦..then you pick them.. They will continue to grow and change color some of them while they are drying but that is expected.

FYI
I have noticed that you can get a seond and third explosion of growth at the top of the buds, especially the main colas... making these deformed looking, asymetrical, lopsided, monster BUDS if you fert all the way to the end...

Water cure will take care of the nutrients.

Good Kannabis Growing!

what is water cure?

[newgroweroldsmoker]

what is water cure?

water cure is when you have reached the final weeks prior to harvesting....you water the plants with plain water ph balanced so as to flush away all the chemicals from the pot where the plant is growing.....its purpose is to remove the chemical taste that the buds will have if water cure is not used
