This is the most educational series on canabas anywhere. I am a new grower and using hydroponics 5 gal. Bucket system. When i flush should i just run pure water thru my system for a couple of days or run 2 runs of plain water back to back.
@@lucas.br17You 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.
One of the conclusions of the study is that flushing produces no effect on the bud. I am curious, however, if it is still beneficial to the soil/plant itself in veg when you have nutrient buildup/pH issues. I’d appreciate any feedback.
Ok so flushing is important for a lot of reasons, for one, if you have alot or too much chemical in rootzone, you might need to flush it to unlock the rootzone, the plant could be stressed and refusing to drink water, flushing can make the plant healthier for longer into harvest... The chemicals can build up, i just grew a strain outdoor that was only fed once..before week 1 of bloom.. i tested a non cured bud quick dried in the oven like can't get any worse and it birned completely white, but its because it was living off a small amount of organic tea but they cane oit nice, not huge but impressive, can't wait to cure them, will be deadly...
Your videos are great straight to the point maybe not the best for newer growers but it has definitely helpful in my grows and gave me plenty to think about
I think it really depends on the background of who watches these videos. For a new grower that has experience in other scientific fields or research, videos like this are perfect.
It won't flush the plant of nutrients. What's in there is in there. I can't post links here, but a study was done recently with flushing and not flushing... a blind taste test was done with a number of smokers... they actually deemed the Cannabis that wasn't flushed to have a better taste and smoke. I'll find the name of the study and post it here if I'm able.
I've always been told buds from flushed plants will burn more cleanly than non-flushed plants, i.e. less left over residue, more white ash. Truth/myth? Is this even desirable if so?
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!
@@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?
@@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.
Which will likely cause disease and stunted growth. Was the water tap water which has chlorine and chloramine with flouride?? Why wasn't this included in the study?
I'm close to harvest and very confused 🤦♂️is this a new cannabis doctrine or is just the simple truth? I mean we all know flush is better and all of sudden this info was like a heavy face slap 🤔need help very very confused
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.
Doesn't that just water down taste and smell? That it shouldn't need the flush unless your providing too much nutrients. Look at berries and apples of what happens with wet years. Like this year bumper crops and not as good of taste. Where the drier years yield smaller fruits with better taste. These can be seen in the brix. Does flushing dilute taste and smell along with brix levels? When is the best time to harvest for peak terps not peak thc?
@@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
Good to see some actual scientific evidence with data points to back this up. Always thought that flushing didn’t make much sense
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

Good luck!
Important new info, results are not what I expected but it’s good news.
Goal is to keep on learning!
Great information.
Glad it was helpful!
When flushing should you used pH water? if so, why?
Yes, as you do not want to add other plant stresses right before harvest.
So while flushing may have no effect on THC levels and concentrations but IT WILL AFFECT TASTE GREATLY!
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..

Nevermind on this, just saw your video on flushing indoor plants. Thanks for the videos, very informative
Glad the information provided was helpful.
I’ve had some weed be hardship and black ash. Do you think I should let it cure longer?
Flush longer as well.

When flushing or just switching to plain water at the end of flower cycle what is the best ph to have your water? 6.7? 7.0?
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
But how does the flush effect taste? That is the main reason growers fo it.
The goal is to remove the chemical after taste.

Your poor boss ;-) Glad you like the name.
Question: Does un-flushed cure stronger than flushed?
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

Do u have a hydro flush
No, just over irrigate.
I'm close to harvest and very confused 🤦♂️is this a new cannabis doctrine or is just the simple truth? I mean we all know flush is better and all of sudden this info was like a heavy face slap 🤔need help very very confused

Finally
Good things come to those who wait.
Most interesting would be the pot size?! :D
See description for link to complete dissertation for all of the details.
So according to this, there it really no benefit to flushing the plant?
Taking care of the plant and roots reduce the need for flushing.
Doesn't that just water down taste and smell? That it shouldn't need the flush unless your providing too much nutrients. Look at berries and apples of what happens with wet years. Like this year bumper crops and not as good of taste. Where the drier years yield smaller fruits with better taste. These can be seen in the brix. Does flushing dilute taste and smell along with brix levels? When is the best time to harvest for peak terps not peak thc?
Timing is key and it can be beneficial in some cases, but if you do not over fertilize it may be unnecessary.
your that meme guy
Which one?
Why not Just change the PH of Soil so the Plant cant absorbe any nutrians?
This would cause unnecessary plant stress.
Gaia green and other organic fertilizers do not need flushing.
It can depend how much is added regardless if it is organic or not.
10 Liters flushing in 3 gallons?
Yes, but shown not to be a significant difference.
Flashing always sounded like some bullshit. Just don't overfeed and your plants will be fine
This can depending also on the substrate and growing practices.

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

Glad you are hear to learn actual science.
Stoner science - no need to flush plants before harvest - waste of water.
It can depend how a grower feeds during the growth cycle.
This video isn’t exactly HOW to flush but rather a boring class lecture in flushing.
