Copied as part of my post from another thread. It explains the journey lol.
No point writing it twice
HOLY FUCK I THINK I'VE JUST SUSSED IT!!!
I THINK I KNOW WHY PEOPLE FLUSH INSTEAD OF CUTTING THE NUTES!!!!!
I was about to go on my usual rant there of why it's bad for them in coco but I've just had an epiphany.
People flush because they think it washes excess nutes out of the buds and gives a smoother smoke.
That's an absolute 100% myth and here's why.
When the leaves start going mental due to the lack of feed. What they're doing is reliquidising the nutes in the leaves and moving them INTO the buds to make sure they have all they need to survive for as long as possible.
That's the plants only thought in life. Do whatever it takes to make those buds last as long as possible for the best chance of reproduction.
They literally eat themselves to feed the buds.
So, now that we've realised that we can't possibly take anything out of the buds, why would people starve them???
Could it be that back in the days you had to flush because you smoked most of the sugar leaves too?
And those will taste fuckin nasty if they're still full of nutes. Wouldn't be able to sell that for top dollar in a month of Sunday's.
They were also mostly soil growers so couldn't possibly have known what hydro growers know today about how nutes work because you just can't measure it in soil.
Ahhhhh...... and even today's growers that swear by it are surely those that don't close trim and leave some of the sugar leaves on! (That bit I just thought of lol)
Wooaaahhh.... that's getting a copy and paste into a thread me thinks
