New Grower flushing

[Trapper]

Yes, lets

But let's also be responsible about what we assert vs. what we claim is empirically, objectively true.

 

[Trapper]

I think we can agree that roots allow for the absorption/uptake of water, right?

So then if we consider that water enters (most often for our purposes) through the root system
and exits through the stomata on the leaves via transpiration as a vapor...

then I'm at a loss (currently) to understand how the discussion can begin and end
with the physiology of the roots. Water (it seems) acts as a host vehicle for the mobility
of anything that is both soluble in water and capable of traveling through the plant at all.

Which nutrients obviously are (of any kind) or they would have no effect on the plant at
all. So if the nutrients are mobile enough to travel in, why aren't they then mobile enough
to travel out? Even if they are in some way broken down or absorbed by the plant in some
way that disallows their departure, that is certainly well down the line from the roots.

If I say pow-tay-to you say potato. If I say tow-may-toe you say tomato. Lets call the whole thing off. Honestly, can we not be chums instead of the constant antagonistic rivalry that seems to exist between us!
I love ya like a brother. OK, maybe a ginger step brother. But how about a truce eh pal ?

Then again, that would be no fun at all. Forget i said that you grumpy old devil. Bring it on.....

Errrr...OK :xlaugh: ...T`be continued! :toke toking:

if I would add chocolate to my soil wouldn't the plant take in the cacao although it's rootsystem isn't build for it?

maybe a bad example.. if I would put cocaine in water and make sure ph is right wouldn't it uptake the cocaine although not being build for it?

(I don't have cocaine but it's just a thought I had a while ago and might contradict what pop22 is saying, no disrespect of course still trying to figure it out it isn't tomorrow yet!)

(I don't have cocaine but...

lol

The uptake of these things is at a cellular/molecular level...for example: Molasses contains a complex sugar with a molecular structure that's too
large to be taken into the plant...it is actually used to feed the herd of beneficial fungi in the soil...IIRC, the plant can uptake mineral components
FROM the molasses but not any of the sugars that are sometimes said to effect flavor (erroneously, I believe)

That would be wild though if...(ATTENTION: NOT advising this as wise or even desirable)...you could internally "snowcap" a bowl that way. LOL!

Unfortunately, neither of those would work for the plant (mostly due to both being flucked about with by Humans and therefore, not being in their original/useful state.) Molasses (unsulphered) is a fine form of Carbos and sugars + a bit of calcium, which the plant Can utilize(through the microbes etc which feed off them). I don`t understand it all, but I get the principle and I understand why I flush and let the soil dry out b4 harvest. My way may not be everyone elses preffered choice; but I don`t remember `knocking` any one for doing it a different style...What suits Me, suits Me...What suits You, suits you! Thank Shiva ( )for different approaches, cos life would be far less interesting, if we all knew everything folks! :Sharing One:

Would defo Flush as the Powderfeed is a Chemical Fertilizer so imho not good for Your Health. Its even labled on the Packs that You need to stop the Feeding 14 days before Harvest. I did on my first run with it only 7-8 Days Flush and the Buds tasted Chemical even after Cure.

Well said bruv. No really, well said(with no sarcasm at all) For once. I could not agree more.

Ok so I need some opinions I can read about this subject as much as I want but I get confused more and more since it depends so much on the way you grow.

What I understand is that because I used "chemical" nutes I need to flush because the salt build up will make my smoke taste bad.

(Green House Seed co.: Mother plant feed + mostly indica is what I've used during this grow)

I have a full watering can standing around here so it can sit 24h to get the chlorine out.
I also have some water bottles which too are filled with water and waiting 24 hours to get rid of the chlorine.

Is what I'm doing right? And does anyone have some opinions on flushing?

chemical nutes... flush... TLO or organics... no need...
get a new water source... even when chlorine is completely removed from water, it's signature remains. :check:

and yes, as stated above... flush and allow soil drying.
