i was bitchin bout how the darn joint would always go out between hits. he said it cuz too many nutes left in plant.
idk if true or not but it does seem like it does make sense to me.
Hey, me too man. Everyone knows nutes are fireproof! Damn fireproof nutes get all bunched up in one spot in a J and the fire runs for the hills!
hehe, just kiddin man. No stress. The problem is that the only proof of flushing benefits is in stories told by individuals who wouldn't know a double blind test if it bit them in the butt.
It's kind of like the various fanatics in the religous world; they tell you you have to believe that THEY are telling you the truth. If someone tells you something with no evidence, no proof of it's correctness, and tells you that it is true because as a believer, THEY believe it's true, then you should believe that what they tell you is true.
In the scientific world, to avoid that type of problem, a testing procedure that proves beyond any doubt what-so-ever, is known as double blind testing. It's done with different people with different variations of order that eliminate any possibility of human predudice or favor.
As far as I know, double blind testing has never been performed in regards to flushing of marijuana prior to harvest.
It's not that I absolutely do not believe that it may help, it's the fact that I've studied botany and growing marijuana for most of my life (more than 45 years of growing), and nothing I've experienced shows that flushing is anything but a popular myth of the green crowd.
Until I read the results of a single blind testing of that process, I'll continue to believe that it's nothing but a myth to cover the unknown, much like the fanatics I mentioned above broadcast to propagate their own beliefs. It's a story without evidence. A claim without trial. A belief without proof of any kind. A popular fiction. A myth. A bedtime story that makes people sleep better.
That's cool with me.
I'll wait for someone to prove it without the smoke and mirrors.
