Flushing in organic

[Dantheman]

Okay im going feed only water for the last few days, with no concrete info ill go with my brain which says to flush. The organicus nutes im using stink lol and i dont really fancy that on my pretty buds

[redisiel]

I did read a book called 'True Living Organics - The Ultimate Guide to Growing All-Natural Marijuana Indoors ' by 'The Rev'

A very interesting read..he does mention flushing multiple times, but it's more specific to water type and the importance of flushing salts/solids from hard water areas etc.

He mentions ;

Since writing this book he found some inputs he was using contained salts, plus all that layering shit lol,
After plenty reading I think this book is rubbish for a lot of the info it gives imo.dint get me wrong I based my first raised bed on his book(just ammendments not layering/spiking and wished I’d built it a year later!

Again my opinion I would always flush in hydro, in my Wilma grows I use stuff called clean cut by field marshal and it’s excellent, this alongside a good bud wash you can’t go wrong. But your still not getting all the shit out your plants

Good to know mate, thanks for the information regarding the book

I read that book as well and I think a lot of his methods are a little outdated compared to the no-till methods you'll see online.

Interesting read regardless. He alsp advocates using RO water which I think is wasteful.

I read A book once that said that if you leave all your leaves on, you will have A heaver plant in the end. But by the way we all chop up our plants it makes you wonder how true it is us are the Book. That being said I haven't touch any leaves on my last two grows, except to trim a little at the bottom so I can water it. Don't really know if it is any more or not, but seems to be very good. And I have more leaves to go into my trash bag for kef later. JMO

Absolutely so how is that different between mineral and organic?

I think I got it mate. It's like asking why natural vitamin c is absorbed differently by my body than the synthetic. Or like salt from a natural miso make me feel energized and white table salt makes me thirsty. I can feel the difference personally. I cannot explain it on a scientific level. Cheers

Another side by side to add to my list. Love it.

Inorganic compounds are created by non-living natural processes or human intervention. Another difference between organic and inorganic compounds is organic matter will burn, but inorganic matter will not burn. ... Inorganic matter is generally obtained from non-living matter, so it is mineral in nature.

That all makes sense but does not address Gardros original question. How does an organic nutrient effect the plant differently than a synthetic? Once the plant converts it to usuable food is N not N? A bit stonned. May have just butchered his original question lol.

Synthetic nutrients are available to the plant immediately, organic material is not.

Once the plant uptakes it, it's the same. But the issue is flushing in organic vs non organic and you cant simply wash away organic material, but you can wash away salts (synthetic nutrients) from the medium.

I don't know how in the hell any one would know the answer to all these question, after smoking you are usually so fuck up, you don't think much of anything, but how stone you are.
