First flush=weak potency... myth or not?
    #5590559 - 05/04/06 03:54 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys
My last 4 casings have all had extremly weak first flushes and quite potent later ones... anyone else experience this? any ideas why that might be?
Substrate was 2/3 BRF 1/3 quinoa flour colonized in PF jars and later crumbled and cased with a 60/40 coir casing layer.

do you dunk them? Im no expert but thats my guess,is when you dunk them it might bring potency down, thats why you later flushes are more potent. but again im no expert, its just a farfetched explanation.

No I didn't dunk before the first flush... not until after the second.

And 3 grams (for me a semi-strong trip) resulted in what 1 gram should have been usualy. So quite weak...

I'm only on my third grow but I've had the same problem with the first two. The first flushes were definitely weaker than the rest as I needed 5g for the desired effects instead of the usual 3g. I have no idea why this happened, but with both first flushes the fruits were few in number, but incredibly large while they evened out in later flushes. This if off BRF cakes, btw.

I just harvested and dried my first flush… ate .5 g and nothing happened. Tried 1.7g… nada! I think there is truth to first flushes not being as potent. Event found a scientific study that found first flush not nearly as potent as 3rd and 4th. … will continue trial and error and update :smile:
