I've been growing since the 1970's and this is the 1st flush no flush test I'm wanting to know the results of,I've yet to see a grower test product the way you propose & it just drives home how little we all know about what we grow,and its all the fault of science,a lack of science actually,the entire world is blowing j's and not 1 lab is doing proper research without an agenda,and withholding data from consumers
I'm fairly certain if you can prove a reduction in what we believe to be the cough factor,caused from excess clorophyll,most growers who grow for personal smoke would be willing to sacrifice some yeild for better quality,you'd think the Canadian LP growers or whatever their called would have done such testing already with their huge resources,from hearing Canadians bitch about shit quality I doubt it.

Are the nutrients taken in by the plant not metabolized into useful resources for the plant? Is this not how plants grow? The plant uses what it takes in in nutrients, its not like its taking in extra N P K etc and stockpiling it for later usage...
More like 1500 ppm to 2500 ppm...rockwool slab tomatos anyways. They feed em hard in them greenhouses. Dosatrons. And yeah....flushing is bro science...nothing more. Been there done that decades ago...and flushing for "cleaner smoke" is pure hogwash.
My line of thinking is 1 week before harvest you flush your pot with 3xamount of water then it holds and then feed just plain water until harvest....that way the plant can't draw up anymore nutrients and must use what it has stored. Mabey I'm wrong
Maybe your right? If it truly is one week before optimal harvest. If you're sure of that. Then you lose no yield maybe? Maybe not. Maybe the plant when it uses its stores does so at a slower rate??
