I'm curious why you say don't flush ever? Not knocking just curious your reasons behind it. I've heard both sides of the flush debate, so yea me curious.Don't flush ever

Very valid points. I also think that flushing a soil plant goes completely against the over watering principle. I've never flushed and never had any complaints about taste or flavor either. Appreciate your take.Because all it does is neutralize your medium.
The myth is flushing removes excess salts and fertilizers from the plant. This is false for 2 reasons.
1, Once a plant has consumed nutrients, there's no reversing that process. No amount of flushing will remove nutrients already consumed by the plant. No matter what the pro-flushers say, this goes against the very biology of the plant.
2, The thought that "salts" remain stored within the plant is also false. Salts are already broken down into starch and sugars. So the idea of "flushing out salts" is an oxymoron, in that there are no "salts". It's sugar.
That being said. Flushing does nothing for your plant other than cut off access to much needed nutrients.
For higher quality harvests, never flush. You should simply maintain a healthy plant until trichs are ready.

It should only be done if your soil is clearly having an issue, whether it's lock up, toxicity, etc. If your soil is obviously causing problems, then yes a good flush helps.Very valid points.
