Guttation
Are you seeing this at lights on?.
This could be guttation, when the medium is wetter than the plant roots it changes the root pressure forcing water up the stem, during the day it isn't a problem as any excess is lost through transpiration, when this occurs at night the stomata are closed so excess 'sap' is forced out of special pores known as 'hydathodes' to balance the system.

Hey Nev, couple of quick questions for you....
1, How long did you used to flush for when you was growing in rockwool back in the day?
2, Did you use a flushing agent or did you just use pH'd water?
3, What is your favourite strain in the Mr Nice strain catalogue?
Thanks in advance.
Peace.

I never flushed. It wasn't practical. With up to 10 rooms, you couldn't run different watering programs. I used to run veg and flower hydro systems, but I couldn't notice any difference if I did veg with flowering formula, so I dropped it.
What you are trying to achieve with flushing is the elimination of plant sugars in the dried product. These affect the taste negatively. If you chop the plant at the base, and slowly dry the whole plant, it will take at least a couple of days to fully die. In this period the plant uses the remaining sugars.
If conditions were humid, I'd remove the fan leaves, but I preferred not to. If the plant is hung upside down, the leaves dry around the bud offering natural protection. When you smoke it, it's still in pristine condition. I just hate it when people manicure wet and smear the resin around and then force dry it. That's just disrespecting the plant. I like to manicure as I'm preparing my joint. It's the natural way.

wow Nev no flush at all not even a reduction of the amount of feed in the water? i never seen a difference in growth feeds when i first started growing. so i used to use tomato feed in my hydro set ups it got me a few funny looks but saved money and grow the same imoa. i like how you dry i dry the same most of the time but i do take the big leaf of and give a nice slow cool dry. i also found no difference using a flushing agent but use molasses now just to help with yellowing and in case i get my times wrong a problem i sometime have from smoking to much.
anyway enough ranting here is my question:
have you ever used a flushing agent and was it any good?
have you used any products to help ripening and was it any good. for eg to finish a outdoor plant that needed a little help?
it is kinda hard to explain but it is not water for sure
it is there lights on and off
i took something of with a knife and let it dry now it is a sticky brown substance looks exactly the same as the pic i see on the net from hash oil
only thing i know it get alot worse when the leaves start to die cos it is the end of the plants life
like they dry up and the oil is comming out
today a friend will smoke it and we will see what happens
i will keep you posted

Thanks for the quick reply and the tip Nev, just to echo what Brock1 said-did you reduce the strength of the feed in the last couple of weeks, or did you still feed at the high end up until the chop?
I'll give your method a try, I've always trimmed it wet, right down to the bud-the way you say it shouldn't be done. Mainly because peeps don't want leaves in/on their bud. It doesn't give it bag appeal so to speak. No biggie though. I've already been flushing with pH'd water for a week, but I can still chop it at the base and slow dry it. What temps did you find were best for the slow dry, between 20c-23c over 1-2 weeks maybe?
Peace.

Hey Nevil,
You are really putting it down man! Thanks so much for all of your insight! I really would love a book with a collection of many of your obsrvations in one place to share with my sons, but if you are willing to put it all out here for free then that says even more about your character. Thanks.
Your powers of observation are astounding! You are the Yoda of Ganja kicking evils' ass with a bright green Thai Stick light saber (that's smoking on one end). Thanks be to NVL.
Do you think THCv is beneficial to the Cannabis patient?
Have you ever found a variety(s) that has had a near 1:1 ratio of THCv to CBD?
Was it interesting to you?
Thank You,

Thank you Nevil!
Hey Nevil,
Thanks for yr replies and info.
Really appreciate it.
What a shame you lost the Haze A male so soon...
If you ever need the next best thing, you know where to find it...
The boys in Holland say hello and hope you'll come and visite some day, especially J.

Hey there Nev,
The above statement not only surprised me when I first read it, but it's been playing on my mind for a while too, so just thought I'd bring it up if that's cool.
Maybe the Grail strain your looking for is in one of the MNS strains that Shanti's created over the last few years?
At least give them a smoke first eh,what your looking for could be right under your nose and you could save yourself some time and effort.
You seemed to be impressed with Hempy's S1 Mango Haze, even comparing it to a NH, so maybe SB made something else that'll float your boat, seems rude not to try em first anyways.
Just a thought,I have loads, hope it's ok to share,
Peace, GG

i agree this statement was a surprise aswell as not edited ,wat is a surprise is i didnt really notice this post but ive been abit clouded lately
intriguing statement in my opinion aswell ,that makes me ponder
nevil
much respect always ,just out of curiousity
is this judgement based upon experience ?
is the selection not up to standard of your preferred quality ?
or this thought based upon the lineages and similarites of the varieties present ?

I have explained this earlier. I have been stuck in Australia for 5 years (Departure Prohibition Order). Last week I got an extraction of the Court Orders proving I'm free to travel again. I've only been able to smoke some of the MN strains lately. I'm very impressed with the Mango Haze.
SB and I have collaborated on which lines to put together, but we are all reliant on his good taste in selections. We are in good hands.
Line breeding to the existent Haze strains is something that we have been working on for quite a long time and I'm pleased with the results that have been achieved, but my focus is to collect and bring something new to the party as well as finding a non HzA or HzC line that would reinforce the best of the Haze in the NH. Things are looking good.
Everybody who's anybody in this game faces calamity at some point. While some cutting were lost, we are still in a very strong position with our genetics. In all honesty, I don't believe that anyone else could come close to what we've got. It seems that some of you agree with me.

Nevil, if I can ask a question to this?
-regarding nutrients, do you think different nutrient profiles could potentially affect next generations ( seed ) by differing levels of minerals ever? Like feeding a plant to much N over time, next generations will develop a high tolerance to over N???
-regarding nutrients, what do you think on the LUCAS / pH formula to hydro nutrients? as like you state, most are using bloom nutes now as they feel its more correct with ratios that the plant needs... ???
-do you see from all your time growing, that different nutrients can either make plants all taste the same / or take on a general smell from nutrients? I guess I'm asking if nutrients can really affect the end result of a plant that much?
-what F line are Mr.nice strains taken to / or do the all differ depending on what you feel needs more generation?
-honestly, what opinions do you have on DJ strains?
thanks for your time

It is truly an honor to get a chance to chat with you Nevil,I have loved all of your work and appreciate you taking the time to answer questions.
Back in 1987-88 i ordered many strains from the SSSC catalog and enjoyed them all,but M-27 Beatrix Choice really stood out.It is one of my all time favorite strains.My question is
What has happened to it?
And if its lost,how would one go about recreating it?
I remember it was Acapulco,South African,and Afghan and tasted like spiced rum.
Anyways thanks for taking the time read this from a big fan of yours from MI.
