The term you're looking for is: Confirmation BiasYour finding what your mind was told to do! It finds a difference because it was given the task to! Brains do that - even when the things it's told to find a difference in, are the same = science! There is NO WAY to do a "side by side" on a personal scale and be "correct". That's science again!
Once you get an idea in your head, you seek out only the evidence that supports your thought.
In the end, flushing is subject to so very many variables that there can be no general consensus made on it one way or the other. Through simple habit, I don't so much "flush" as I do just stop giving nutrients the week of harvest. I always harvest on a Saturday, so I stop all nutrients or additives of any kind on Sunday.
It's probably more of a "feel good" thing than anything else. I've had a few smokes from folks that swear flushing for weeks is the holy grail of all marijuana and I've smoked some from guys that say it's all bullshit.
I've never really seen any difference.
It's all subjective to our own thoughts, really. In the end, most any difference between the two has far more to do with what was done for the several months the grow took than it does what was done in the last 10 days or so.
That people have to argue to the point they'd come to blows were they in the same room over this topic is proof positive on just how far around the bend civilization has gone at this point.
