Better than Bugbee or Harley Smith? Come on.

Great clip bro....when i first started growing i did the ice flush but stopped after doing a side by side

[@drakeweddner]

I grow out doors in California and I only use ice when it's extra hot, it's been over 100 recently so iv been using 45-50 degree water every couple days to help keep my buds dense and stinky, I have a laser thermometer and the actual surface temp of the nugs goes way down with cold water

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Great timing, I'm a few days away from chopping some Westport Grape Juice plants and an Apple Fritters, I should try ice on one of the Grape Juice plants to see if it makes a difference. They're already getting colorful.

[@penguinpog6674]

I give my plant ice in veg stage! Then i flush with freezing water and ice 2 weeks before harvest. I’m a new grower but my plant are a magenta’s color that I’ve never seen before and dense AF. Basically natural 2 grams of nuts and banana water.

[@MrsRabbit8]

Bag appeal is a thing. If this helps bring out the color then it seems like a fine method if that's what you're going for.

[@Memflix]

many years ago a friend who lived in Nepal explained to me that anthocyanins in cannabis appear more frequently in their genetics given the altitudes and low temperatures, and this happens because a darker color of the leaves helps to better capture the sun's rays, and the increase in cold with the approach of autumn and therefore a decrease in the power of the sun's rays would give a sense to this whole theory, could it be true?

[@MrsRabbit8]

This sounds about right. I figure if you're going for more color at the end then it makes sense to do it.

[@duannegarrett5800]

I pack ice at the base of the plant. within 48 hrs. of harvesting. And the smell that comes out of the plant is very strong. I think it tells the plant to blow its load so to speak. Scientifically does it actually work? No idea but my nostrils dont lie to me.

[@richardcooper-e3h]

That smell comes from terpenes dying...lol.

[@duannegarrett5800]

@@richardcooper-e3h its currently curing , smells great and i couldnt resist , but its super smooth to smoke. Another month or so of cure its gonna be even better.

[@TheBigpapabur]

Mr. Grow it for president !!!

[@Dab_Marino]

420 Scene approves ice flushing in his video today. To each their own.

[@RusticRaver]

loads of stonners without any knowledge out there , I can tell you I worked in grow shop, people come up with all sorts, some will put vodka in water.

[@robert7984]

Dude explains how this will stress the plant...

[@nowaistedspace4946]

You are cooling the wrong part of the plant! lol You want your flowers cooled down, not the roots. A frost doesn't freeze the ground, but does bring on the colors, aroma and flavors.

[@russbrown4776]

Maybe a fan that blows ice cold air at the plant instead of the throwing ice water on the roots ?

[@kellykellerstein-meatchamb5361]

Agreed ice water flush is silly. But lets see some graphs and charts. That which can be claimed without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.

[@RusticRaver]

flushing is bullshit, would you flush carrots in your garden?

[@kevinbaker2620]

​@RusticRaver you compared a root veg to weed? I rinse all my greens in ice water for crispness so there's that...

[@robert7984]

Plants don't uptake nutes the last days of life.

[@iananderson33able]

What day in flower does this happen? Around Day 70ish??

[@erdbeerzwiebel3404]

Plants surely uptake nutes at the end of flower...

[@unityunity7559]

organic life matters ✊

[@dav2k0]

So..... That's a no. Don't do it.
