FISH SHIT during flush - why? TIA ^_^

GrowWithTheFlow710
GrowWithTheFlow710started grow question 2 years ago
To add or not to add fish shit. The bottle states that adding it during flushing will help break down salts and nutes, allowing flushing to happen faster. Seems logical to me though I hear JUST WATER is the way to go the last couple weeks. Whats the community standard?

No need to flush unless your over feeding and even then I don't know if it is needed as flushing has been proven to not do anything. One thing I have noticed is that by the end of the plants life it will start to eat dramatically less. By the time I am harvesting my EC values are usually half the amount as mid flowering. Good luck and Happy Trimming

short answer -- they want to you use it more and buy it again sooner. do your normal feed at end... if a little too lush, go ahed and give water-only if you want. it realyl doesn't matter.

Flush for a good reason -- a toxicity is ongoing is a good reason to flush. Flushing at end of harvest is a myth... perpetuated by those that don't want to admit they've been wrong for decades. If you know a little history, this is a common behaviour when the smart ppl start coming in and clearing things up... just as those GM/owners who cried about sabermetrics in baseball only caused their teams to fall further behind and now have all adapted to a better way of evaluation... fwiw baseball sabermetrics are troglodyte in nature at times, too. Flushing before harvest causes no change in mineral content of your buds. -- proveable with proper equipment, and has been... this isn't a typical "90% of initial studies are false" becuase this is far simple context of pass/fail type result... either it stores and easily measured molecule or it does not.. in this case, it in no way impacts the minerals or what constitues a bud.. therefore, it does not reduce "salts" in the buds. Blind taste tests show ppl clearly cannot distinguish between a flushed harvest and a non-flushed harvest. This is the difference between a bunch of hooligans growing in their basement, like me and maybe you, and someone with a lab and resourecs to flesh this stuff out. i don't own 0k pieces of lab equipment to ensure i've extracted each individual molecule that makes up a bud, but labs can. it's easy to be fooled by what we see with numerous factors changing in our grows.. sometimes during a grow. When someone does a controlled study, it's no guarantee they are right, but i'd trust the effort over some group of ppl that never took an advanced biology class or any science for that matter... it's not something you can monkery-see, monkey-do often... it takes a building of knoweldge over time that you just can't pull out of your ass with no effort. always read up on their methodology.. can easily see the "phd" that cannot do their jobs well, lol. they too lack rational logic often in an effort to prove themselves correct, but at least it is self-correcting.. ppl will call their bullshit and we'll move on.

if you havent overfed plant - what for to boost and break if there is nothing, seems like marketing trick or magic stick for overfeeders, 3-6 ml/L at the end, when bottle of 120 ml cost 25$, so i would spent couple hundreds only for final stage with 10 plants, nonsense !!! i have powdery solutions and they really brought my harvest to bigger result, so during grow, i can agree - this product could be very beneficial ...
