Instead of flushing you could try this trick. It starts the anaerobe processes even before harvest. All you have to do is submerging the plant's roots under water for 10 full days. Leave it under lights - just put the pot inside a bucket with tap- or rain water. This is not the way i recommend you to start out with, but if you are an experienced grower you could try and test this to see if you can tell any difference. I dried this plant and a clone sister fast (clone sister was just flushed for 10 days). The smoke from the drowned plant definitely was smoother smoke to my throat. Don't do it to all your crop - but make an experiment and let us hear what you come up with. If you didn't actually test this you really don't know if it works right?

drowning your plants is a really good idea it helps get rid of the nutrients in a hurry and it stresses the plan and make the weed taste better but I would not so my plan for 10 days straight. and also your plants are really little due to having too many plants and not enough light

When you grow indoors , we try to mimic Mother Nature by creating the optimal environment , what you are doing is pointless because water goes stagnant ... & then you say you don't believe in flushing ... Your plants... That's a silly thing to say because the flush is so important with taste & flavour & you know you flushed proper when you get white ash..

Wow, you hve some seriously sick looking plants. I wouldn't even stand in the same room as these, let alone smoke em. Reason why you ask?

Answer- Because if you do not know how to grow bushy thick lush plant's, instead of long lanky, wide internodel spacing plants, and you do not know how to properly make a good soil/and or medium for good nute uptake.. Then you probably have no idea what your doing. With the way your plants look, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you haven't fed them any nutes? This is fine if your orgainc. But you must then supply the organic materials during the soil making processes... Or else you'll get loose "fluffy" budz, rather than dense thick budz... Also, try using more light. What are you using? The farther away you keep the light the more "lanky" or "spindly" the plant will become. 5 or even 6 inch internodel spacing is TERRIBLE in cultivating cannabis. You always want to keep a 2 inch or less spacing for a good yeilder. So move your light a bit closer but make sure there is a cooling system (aka, fan) blowing over the tops of your plants so there is no heat spots... Over all dude. You have some very sad looking girls. I wouldn't even smoke that crap if I where you.... I'd start over clean up, battle down the hatch's and do it the right way.. God only knows what shit you have done wrong in this grow... You might be only smoking chems or straight up leaf. haha.. Sorry brotha no offense, I respect cultivators from around the world.But also show these girls the respect they deserve. ;)

Oh boy, people fear what they don't understand.

Drowning is fine, it starts the breakdown of starches through fermentation when the plant's air roots can't get oxygen. It is essentially curing bud on a living/suffocating plant

Start with a healthy and living soil to prevent root rot.

There's good info for this online.

Try it for yourself but do your research! Understand the biology, please!

some horribly sick looking plants...

drowning = flushing the problem is the association with feeding plants water the regular way ( but for a longer period), until all the brownish liquid goes pure water.. .. you just lazy... lol

If u do that "drowning" u better let them sit for a week with out watering them b4 u harvest or that popcorn will never cure!! Remember brow....more light means more bud!

dude...u cant grow 40 fuckin plants under 1 hps... com'mon bro.. if u cant afford more hps or mh get some cfls... thats way ur plants got a bunch of popcorn budlets on them... u coulda grew 1 plant and yeilded that..trust me bro get some cfls to put around that hps or another hps and u will c a big difference

What a bad info guy! youre plants buds are really small for indoor growing! i think you have to read some other good growers instead of spreaining this bullshit

Worst video ever

bro you got a nice setup....why would you do this to your crop and ruin it?

flushing is not a myth... dont listen to this guy.

THIS IS DISINFO! THIS GUY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!! YOU WILL KILL YOUR PLANTS, YOU NEED TO FLUSH OUT THE NUTRIENTS FROM THE PLANTS, NOT DROWNED THEM!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT WILL TAKE MUCH LONGER TO DRY. BE AWARE OF PHONEY TIPS AND TRICKS YOUR FINAL PRODUCT WILL NOT END UP WHERE YOU WANT. Theres certain steps in growing med grade cannabis, flushing properly is a MUST. If you wants a clean taste, then you should flush properly. Don't throw away all your hard work just to try to cut a few corners to cut down the time.

Read a book or watch a video to Growing pot and start again, to small buds, to mutch water. give them only water for 1-2 weeks bevor Harvest for flushing, but not a hole bucket and don`t show beginners the wrong way
