Thoughts on flushing

[RickJames]

Hey just wanted to get some opinions on flushing.

I am growing outdoors in soil, is flushing necessary if I’m going to cure the buds properly?

 

I have had mixed answers from friends and just wanted to hear some other opinions, don’t want my final product tasting like crap if I don’t flush cheers

 

F.y.i I did flush last grow

I'm interested to know how u flushed all the nutrients out soil?

Taste depends on many things curing only enhances the aromas n tastes that already exist

Even the time of day u harvest can determine both these things

Flushing is generally for neutral mediums where the removal of nutrients can be achieved successfully

Ps how u dry can it can also have a major influence on taste n smell

Bag it too early n it will smell like cut grass

Bag it to late n it will crumble into dust

Mould can still be active during the drying n curing process again another major influence on taste

Outdoors in soil.

 

In pots or the ground?

Won't matter, or maybe if your pumping it with non organic n in veg and pulling a billy g in flower.

 

I never flush, tastes good, even the autos. Its a more organic setup.

 

What are ya feeding it?

 

Do they flush fruit and veg? Maybe in hydro? Commercially?

All I did was stop using any fertiliser and using more water than usual about two weeks before I harvested them. But not sure if that actually does anything good for them?

 

And I harvested during the night in the dark, hung them upside inside with a fan circulating in the room (not directly on them) until the branches snapped which took about 2.5 weeks I think. Then I cured them in jars for another few weeks, again not exposing the bud to much light

Just hung branches upside down on string in a spare bedroom with a fan circulating underneath them (not on them) for about 2.5 weeks and kept them in the dark.

 

Then I cured in jars for about 3 weeks, kept in the dark while doing this too.

I have a mate that's been growing in coco for the past 20+ years with that coco a & b stuff and when i cant grow he helps me out with meds  and i can tell when he hasn't flushed that's for sure.

 

I grow in soil and like to flush for around 5-6 days.
