DeBacco University is always happy to provide scientific support to the topics mentioned in the videos.

This study doesn’t really answer that question as the theory behind flushing is to improve flavour, not yield or potency

@@tsak912hat is absolutely the goal when using synthetic nutes especially. But as he is making a point of, you can get away with that last week of feeding and just give plain water. It’s exactly what I do and get perfect results everytime. Saves water, and a small amount of nutes. No need for the last week of mass amounts of water.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the name recognition and the instant thumbs up!

Glad the information is helpful!

Thanks for the positive comment!

Good luck!

Goal of the channel is to help provide people exposure to some of the scientific research that is out there where applicable.

Happy to help and thanks for commenting!

Thank you very much for this comment!

Awesome, thank you and please share the channel with others so they can also benefit;-)

Thanks!

Goal is to keep on learning!

Please share the channel with others and encourage them to subscribe!

@@DeBaccoUniversity Please next time answer the question and dont focus on your channel propagation...

@@DeBaccoUniversity 😆😆

​@@lucasrostagnol8911You gonna cry? The video basically explains there is no significant gain with flushing besides an increase in the water bill. Clearly OP didn't watch the whole thing.

You are welcome!

Sure. Sure it will. Keep the flush myth going. There are so many tests out there showing it has no affect on anything but water use.

@@tombryant4518 so too much of certain nutes in the plants system can't give a chemical or grassy taste?

@@NewEra0G Flushing the media does nothing to remove anything from the plants themselves.

@@NewEra0G Grassy smell and taste is from crappy post harvesting methods.

@@tombryant4518 so that's ONLY post harvest were this can happen? I'm just trying to educate myself more..

Flush longer as well.

Target range of 6.5-6.8 would be good.

@@DeBaccoUniversity Thank you!!

@@DeBaccoUniversity depending on the medium…if it’s coco is 5.8-6.0

@@rizzo919 depending on the medium you are using. Coco is 5.8-6.0

Nevermind on this, just saw your video on flushing indoor plants. Thanks for the videos, very informative

Glad the information provided was helpful.

Yes, as you do not want to add other plant stresses right before harvest.

Not necessarily some may argue the opposite since there would be a dilution of the chosen compounds by others that were not flushed from the plant.

@@DeBaccoUniversity but doesn’t the enzymes just convert everything that’s left after drying? Would it matter as long as there is more nutrient than there would be post flush?

@@pjarma8536 it may cause the weed to taste a lot like nutrients perhaps

@@luisabreu2015 I discovered that flushing applies to the substrate not the plant. If re-using soil for a veg stage you need to flush all the bloom nutrients out. The plant helps this process you just need to reduce food in the last two weeks so that she pulls the excess out of the substrate leaving it ready for reuse. It doesn’t affect the plant at all.

The goal is to remove the chemical after taste.

No, just over irrigate.

Good things come to those who wait.

Full link to study provided in description.

Timing is key and it can be beneficial in some cases, but if you do not over fertilize it may be unnecessary.

Your poor boss ;-) Glad you like the name.

This is more truth and myth and does produce a more desirable end product.

Of course it's desirable. Unflushed buds burn with a black ash, sometimes the ash is hard and chunky or gritty like sand. It can sparkle and crackle while burning. The ash should be white/grey, soft and powdery, it should burn smooth. Taste and smell is better with flushed buds. Unflushed buds taste bitter and harsh, it burns the throat and the lungs. Even the high effect is not the same, because unflushed weed can cause headaches, nausea, dizzyness, numb mind, suppressing thoughts etc. You HAVE to flush even with organic nutrients. All of these organic nutrients on the market where meant for food, not for combustion. When you eat those nutrients it goes to your stomach and slowly degrades in your body over time, some of it gets released through bathroom, sweat etc. and generally it's not dangerous. But these nutrients are not meant for smoking, when you burn them they turn into different chemicals that the manufacturers haven't expected. They go directly to your lungs, bloodstream, heart and brain. This is even more toxic with chemical nutrients.

@@twentytwo138 110% agree with all youve said. Knowledge is something that only comes with experience...thus equaling time. Im not a betting man but i will safely say these little wanna-bee's would of had more blowjobs from their mum's, than actual ounces smoked. Dont worry little try-hards, one day you'll understand..... Hopefully...Maybe.....................................................Not!

Yes this is an interesting finding, flushing may have a chance at making a great difference if the grower was over feeding the plants leading up to the final flush. This is something commonly done in small operations which is why flushing may seem to have a greater impact on the final product on plants that have been over fed. You could always run a comparison yourself.

This would cause unnecessary plant stress.

It can depend how much is added regardless if it is organic or not.

See description for link to complete dissertation for all of the details.

Taking care of the plant and roots reduce the need for flushing.

Was it a life changing experience?

@@DeBaccoUniversity mabey a little but these videos are a solid source for information, been growing for about 30 years it's great to have access to information like this

This can depending also on the substrate and growing practices.

Yes, but shown not to be a significant difference.

Glad you are hear to learn actual science.

It can depend how a grower feeds during the growth cycle.
