Soil growers who are sophisticated enough to be relying on soil biology arent about to kill off the microbes to shut down metabolism and nutrition cycling. The importance of constant pH control is based on the knowledge that throughout the entire life of the plant there are always natural chemical reactions taking place that affect the final outcome of the grow.

These chemical reactions can be helped or hurt by the pH of water and soil, so in order to allow for these natural reactions to take place unhindered, it is important to always maintain a desirable pH level throughout your grow. To paraphrase James Brown, you have to pay the cost to be the boss.

Even those with natural talent have to work hard to excel in their field no pun intended. Since there is no real difference, besides a few people talking about taste. Yes the last two weeks I give my plants tap water at a pH of 6. Moral of the story: my weed just as good or better than yours and I save 2 weeks worth of nutrients. Last note your lights are feeding your plant not fertilizer.

If all you do is grow in a good well balanced soil and water with water at a pH of 6. Ya so true. An analysis of the compounds released on combustion along with experiential data would be legit.

If it makes no difference in the product, neither flushing nor fertilizer are necessary at the end of the cycle. Flushing is a waste of time, money and water.

Living soil makes the best tasting smoke on the planet. Try a chemically grown or hydroponics tomato up against a living soil one. It will blow your mind. East Texas has the best tasting tomatoes on the planet because of the iron in the soil. Fruit, vegetables, and herbs get alot of their flavor from the soil. Why is it that only pot growers flush the soil. Do tobacco growers flush their fields.

I personally have never flushed a pot plant before harvest and I have grown top shelf smoke since Dumb shit this, ignorant so and so, get a degree, write a paper, etc. It sounds like the Russians want this to blow up! Why not take a small hit from your last grow, relax, and contribute sanely without blowing the subject out of the water.

I have plants growing, will a couple this way and that way. See where to go from there and keep reading online. Both sides, stay safe! Good arguments on both side from what ive red. Hell me caveman, me bury fish then plant pot.

In a blind taste test, researchers have found that many prefer cannabis that has not been flushed before harvest. Author A. Herrington is a San Diego-based freelance writer covering cannabis news, business, and culture. Perhaps because nature has been flushing its own plants every fall since the beginning of time.

Currently, most growers and prospective growers think in terms of marijuana, the raw constituents—the leaves and flowers, or buds—of the plant.

In emerging markets this is a viable path, but as production increases and markets become super-saturated with product, as in California, the tendency increasingly will be to isolate the active ingredients and beneficial components of the cannabis plant into concentrated forms via extraction.

In the future, only about 10 percent of the cannabis produced will be sold as flowers or buds. The remaining 90 percent will be extracted and formulated into concentrates of many forms. As the industry progresses, production costs will fall, and supply will become ever more plentiful—increasing competition. As seen in many states, this leads to refinement of mid- and lower-grade cannabis—product that is not necessarily bad, just not visually appealing—that can be sold at lower, more competitive prices.

Other growers, in states that have legalized medical cannabis with only low levels of tetrahydrocannabinol THC and high levels of cannabidiol CBD , are required to produce plants with those properties. Those plants ultimately will be refined into concentrates.

Concentrated forms of cannabis currently represent from percent to percent of sales for dispensaries in various states:. Cannabis contains hundreds of chemicals. Of those, 66 cannabinoids the active chemical components have been identified, as well as more than different terpenoids also classified as terpenes. These, however, are a small fraction of the total composition of the cannabis flower or bud, and as research and development continues to advance, we can anticipate that other constituents may also become more important.

The purpose of refinement is to eliminate undesirable components, including cellulose and fibrous, green vegetative material, waxes, fats, carbohydrates, chlorophyll, some lipids, amino acids, carbolic acid and caramelized plant sugars. The resulting refined extract is classified as a Botanical Drug Substance BDS and comprises a whole plant extract in that it contains all desirable compounds combined. Super-refined extracts are separated and isolated, single, pharmaceutical-grade compounds.

Many studies have concluded that terpenes are compounds that contribute to the relief and control of pain. The terpenoids modulate the THC activity—referred to as the synergistic effect, or the Entourage Effect. THCA will not deliver the same euphoric effect, as it first must be converted by heat in a process known as decarboxylation. Both cannabinoids and terpenoids are very complex, and an incredible amount of research on the isolated compounds of cannabis still is needed.

So what does this mean for the cannabis cultivator of the future? They will want to buy ready-made extracts they can use in mass-market medicines or consumables. By consumables, I mean edible products and oils for vape pens, products that require refined cannabis and represent an enormous percentage of the future market. This must be considered carefully when planning your operations.

How and what you cultivate, how you process your cannabis for refinement or super-refinement, and how you refine it all become paramount. The legal cannabis industry is just getting its sea legs, but research on cannabis compounds has been conducted for decades. The Research Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences RIPS has been in existence for more than 30 years and has spent billions of dollars exploring and researching every compound isolate of the cannabis plant.

Some of this research, in conjunction with that of ElSohly Laboratories Inc. The Research Triangle Institute also has been involved in cannabis research for more than 30 years, as has GW Pharmaceuticals UK , which cultivates, extracts and refines cannabis for pharmaceutical applications—e. These organizations have limited access to cannabis research materials obtained from the University of Mississippi with DEA approval.

The common denominator of these institutions is that none of them wants to cultivate, process, refine or super-refine cannabis to produce research compounds or active ingredients. Therefore, as research and formulation of cannabis-derived pharmaceuticals expand, so does the emerging opportunity for future cannabis cultivators. Serafini and Lucindo J.

They constitute the largest class of natural products with more than 55, known compounds. Several studies have attributed to this big family of compounds a range of pharmaceutical properties such as anticancer, antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, antihyperglycemic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antiparasitic.

The paper focuses on terpene compounds' potential to become candidates for new pain-controlling drugs. It points out that plant-derived substances have been important sources of medical products for millennia, employed in the fields of medicine, pharmacy and general biology:.

It is logical to assume this will only continue, with cannabis and its terpenoids front and center. And, as the authors explain, the search for new therapeutic options for chronic pain control will not end:.

Besides, the incidence of the number of people with chronic pain is increasing as the population ages and other chronic pain disorders such as cancer arise, whereas therapeutic resources The continued high prevalence of pain worldwide … drives the pharmaceutical market. Furthermore, with intensive incentive for research and development, it is expected that the analgesic drug market is going to be dynamic and commercially promising in the years ahead.

The bottom line, as it pertains to cannabis cultivation, is that, the market potential is expected to be limitless. To understand the passion of Dr. It is absolutely amazing. So I ask myself: Who will cultivate, process, refine and super-refine the isolated compounds to create the pharmaceuticals of the future? Will it be you? The number of licensed marijuana producers in Canada under the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations program. Marijuana sales from Oregon dispensaries in the first week that early recreational sales were permitted at medical marijuana dispensaries under Measure
