Is this saying the weed is more potent when flushed?(at least with cbd in this study)

From the study:

Finding 3: Cannabinoid Concentration is Affected by FlushingCBD concentration in the flower buds was similar among flushing treatments in THM Jack, but CBD concentration increased with flushing duration in Southern OG. For example, CBD accounted for 13% of dried bud weight in the control group but 16% in the 4-week flush group. However, it is unlikely that flushing is stimulating additional synthesis of CBD. Instead, flushing decreases dried bud weight, which reduces the denominator in measurements of CBD per gram of flower buds. Often referred to as yield dilution, this means the concentration of compounds in plant tissues increases as tissue mass decreases.

The concentration for one sample was higher, but they attribute it to yield dilution because flushing decreases the overall harvest weight of the flower:

Still, flush for... 4 weeks... and beef those contest numbers up.

JEEZ DO YOU WORK FOR FASTBUDS!?

Born 65 to 79.

Gen Y is also called Millennials.

I was born in the mid 80s and the cool inline skating stuff was a bit before my time.

Gen Alpha, that's hilarious!!!

Now I'm curious, what if you flush 6 weeks... or even the entirety of flower. Tiny buds massive potency?

Keep in mind not all their testing showed an increase, nor was it all cannabinoids across the board.

If you're trying to grow some killer hemp maybe. But if you're smoking hemp flower, well... what you doing with your life, bud?

When I worked for Arkannabis Farms (3600 plant count indoor light deprivation,) we both flushed and didn't flush and compared historical harvest data to the same clones to the same time of year. We saw a NOTICEABLE decrease in yield in cutting nutrients for 2 weeks versus just feeding up to chop.

But on that scale, we also saw several hundreds of dollars worth of savings in just nutrient cost alone by not feeding, not including time and labor of mixing. Plants still needed to be watered though; so there's only a partial saving labor wise using the same irrigation practices. Did that cost savings equate into the profitability of what was potentially lost weight-wise? Things to consider.

Good morning and happy Caturday to all!

Thanks for the Saturday's @Mossy and think Iowa ya for some MMMMMphs too!

Hopefully you enjoyed your steak and tatties!
