should i flush i can guarantee you this is going to challenge a lot of people's thought process
you're here with mark powell on perfect gardens tv please remember to like share and subscribe if you
haven't checked out our youtube membership please go ahead and do so where all your questions get
sent to the top you also get access to our group private membership all right guys let's go ahead
and get into this so i a lot of people even in my private membership group disagree with me on this
subject and i used to encourage a lot of people to flush right and i why did i tell people to flesh
and back in the day it was just because everyone told me that you should flush and so that's why
i would tell everyone else there's a story that my family taught me about how there's this little
seven-year-old girl it was her birthday and they would make her an eight-inch cake right and she
was wondering what one day why on her birthday why they made what made eight inch cake when the oven
was 12 inches wide and so she ran up to her mom asked her hey mom why do you make us an 8 inch
cake when the oven's 12 inches wide and she says you know honey i don't really know go ask your
grandma and so she runs up to the ground and she says grandma why do you guys make me an 8 inch
cake when the oven's 12 inches wide now and the grandma says you know honey i don't really know
why y'all go ask your great-great-grandmother and she runs up to her great-great-grandmother and
she says great grandmother why do you make me an eight-inch cake when when the oven's 12 inches big
and the great grand grandmother starts laughing and just laughing and laughing she says are they
still making eight inch cakes honey the oven was nine inches wide back in the day and so this is my
point is that that technology and thought process has evolved and there is critical information
that is being overlooked and same thing with this situation with the oven right no one
reformulated the recipe to to add in the extra flour and the water necessary to make a good
recipe and so instead of figuring out the ratios they just stick with grandma's recipe and just
kept making eight inch cake even though they could have improved the situation so let's go
ahead and get into this and i want to just say thank you so much to dan walters great video i
probably wouldn't recommend to people not to flush because a lot of people get the potting part wrong
and use the wrong soil end up with a butt tone of newts and they don't even realize and you
and you waste it even if you flush for the a week or two so the reason why i'm recommending people
not to flash anymore is because over the years of getting in the four years of extraction side that
i was getting into more on the the r d the testing all the stuff one of the observations i made was
that there was more chlorophyll that was coming out of the initial extraction b and i can't really
discuss the technique of how we were extracting because i'm under still under non-disclosures
but how we were extracting that oil off of that plant one things we noticed in the um and one
things we were trying to eliminate took some time to really get us really good at eliminating the
chlorophyll mono molecule out of the the crude because chlorophyll is actually really difficult
to extract and you have carotenes and you have all these different basically um debris or
things you they don't want as you're going to an extraction or an isolate process right and as you
go through these different distillation processes and then go on later to the more elaborate machine
that turns that 80 or 90 distillate into an isolate through the years of being in the r d
phase though i came to the realization through it was either watching a video or whatever
you're always getting information from somewhere right and then you're making a critical decision
but we we came through the process of basically realizing that through our extraction process
we were picking up more chlorophyll molecules as we were as we were doing our extraction process
but then in in other biomass material we were processing we were getting less chlorophyll
right and if we were able to get less chlorophyll it actually completely sped up and dramatically
reduced the cost to uh to get to an isolate so i i came to the realization through these through
basically all this r d that product that we got from people that flushed their plant made the job
harder on the extraction team and i i came to the realization that when you flush your plants that
your plants are forced to use the mobile nutrients which basically begins the degradation process
of the chlorophyll molecule and within the plant and obviously yeah that's good for
the plant but at the same time too though i've also come to the realization that a lot of people
also harvest their plants early so they're they're carving their plants early they're stripping their
plants of minerals they're also stripping the soil of minerals and and their minerals and
salts are different things so i understand that we were talking we're talking we're not talking
biological growing where you don't have to harvest or you don't have the flesh i'm talking we're
talking about liquid nutrients right and also specifically the types of liquid nutrients salt
salt-dried specific incomplete man-made chemical reaction nutrients that we're
discussing and the reason why i recommend only a two-day flesh three-day flush max is because
i want to use the chlorophyll molecule within the flour to create a nitrogen-rich environment
and and so i'm constantly pushing and urging and describing uh like in i in my viewpoint opinions
are like [ __ ] right i'm describing this ideal way to grow a plant and harvest it and preserve
it until you're able to bring it to market so that the smaller in consumers can exist longer in this
market and so i'm trying to teach a lot of people that are just starting to grow but they haven't
really worked out the distribution side of their this whole market i'm trying to teach them how to
grow it um bring in high yields preserve it until they're able to find people that are interested in
their product the way they're growing it and then redistribute it back to the marketplace
where someone wouldn't realize that inventory that there that the grower finally was able to get rid
of was grown eight to months to a year prior just because they did such a good job at growing it
curing it harvesting it and and preserving it i also do begin to think though that if
i'm stripping the plant of certain minerals that again i'm trying to like rush this process this
curing process i'm trying to rush the process to get this product to the end consumer right
i'm not really taking into consideration what i'm doing now that that could have some type of
detrimental effect to the medicine i there there are two different thought processes right if i'm
trying to get the product to the marketplace i might start this flushing process uh because i'm
trying to kind of speed up this entire process to get the product to the end consumer if they like
it quickly but if i'm i'm going with this other thought process of i want to preserve this product
i want to access the higher level terpenes because i have a healthier or longer grow
again it's a different psychology around this entire planet my viewpoint once again because
i observed more chlorophyll coming through on the oil extraction side and because 80 percent of this
market is going to oil i sway to creating better products the where the majority of this market is
is leaning to right and if i can teach people and adjust people's movements and adjustments to cr to
make a more efficient process from in my viewpoint like again opinions like [ __ ] everyone has one
if i can make my slight adjustments where the grower all the way to the end in consumer
is making a better decision to lower the overall price point of this industry just by doing one
thing because a lot of people a lot of the growers don't know how difficult it is to remove the
chlorophyll molecule you know and a lot of people just get used to buying and purchasing what they
what they get but they don't understand the people just don't understand the process and if you
simplify this process you're going to get a less expensive inc in consumer product so this that's
where i recommend to only do like a two or three day flush right it's just you just get the salt
that you have built up in that soil enough down so that when you get that soil and re-amend it
and go to your next grow it's not going to nuke or destroy the the new plants that you're
transplanting into and whatever they do kind of experience you can within a few days though
they'll work their way out of it because i'm big on not having to buy rebuy soil so what
i what am i trying to do right i am trying to create a more efficient process that reduces
the overall cost of growing this plan i'm trying to make systems for processes more efficient so
and less labor intensive for the growers so that they can also scale up in this marketplace
and reabsorb part of this market back from the large-scale corporations while at the same
time doing my best to keep the highest level of integrity and culture intact in this industry what
i can tell you though is if you flush those plants it's going to make the extraction team's job a
little bit harder at the end of the day the plant has already taken up all the nutrients most of
the time people are harvesting too early and when you strip your soya of nutrients you don't really
get to see the full benefits of and potential what these plants can do that's all i'm saying
and once again i am so grateful to everyone's support and i love it when people throw out their
viewpoints and opinions in a productive manner because it allows us to create further discussion
around how to grow these beautiful gorgeous plants please like share and subscribe have a
great girl everyone so i would actually flip that around i would actually harvest the top colas and
leave the lower buds the two fill in and the reason why is actually for multiple reasons
