I think doesn't matter what you consider like flushing because, there are so many different ways to do it and so many different opinions.I absolutely love that attitude!!!
I think a lot of what people in this thread are talking about is not really what I consider flushing. In the mid to late '90s when I first became aware of the term on Usenet, it quite literally meant douching/drowning the soil with water at least every other day for the last several weeks before harvest.
And longball, I would respectfully disagree with your statement that Captain Jack didn't have anything to do with breeding. Anyone who has developed the same variety of cannabis for over 50 years without resorting to chemical manipulation for feminization, using nothing but seeds from both male and female plants, without resorting to cloning, etc. would be my very definition of a breeder. Somewhere on this forum there is a post by Neville who states something to the effect of... if you are not working with at least a thousand plants, you can't be a breeder. I agree wholeheartedly with that statement.
Every grower finds what works for them through experience and I've been doing it so long now that I'm not going to change for any Boomer Hippie on YouTube either... or a snotty nosed, smart ass Millennial on IG for that matter.![]()
The people that you been hanging around in mid lates 90s are you sure they the used this Technic in cannabis? Sounds like a mold farm to me no way a cannabis plant cant survive this watering daily for several weeks is going to evolve to Seaweed
I really never disagreed with Nevil sayings but seems now is the time to do so. You dont need 1000 plants to be a breeder .I hate this one way streets they lead nowhere constructive.
All this reminded me my grandma having a brand new dishwasher but always washed the dishes by hand and she was saying the same shit I've been doing it so long now that I'm not going to change for any Boomer or gadget smart ass bla bla bla .
Never late to learn new ways
