I never cared what anyone did cuase its not mine:)
Flush, dont flush i never cared but i personally flush all my weed even though i taper it down..

Flushing is for toilets.
Toilets where made to flush for a reason so your house doesnt smell like shit :P same goes for weed in MY oppinon.

I think peeps just convinced others its ok so at chop they "look" the best or just didnt want to have to flush,leech,plain water its all the same except with organics and microbes. Which even in organics its quite possible to produce weed that doesnt burn

To A FINE WHITE ASH

Its still somthing i look for when i smoke others weed is how fine and white the ash went :)

Again since i dont have any papers published on the subject theses are my oppinon. :peace:

If you don't run too much nutes in the first place then there's no need to flush that shit :bigjoint:

I never run high ppm still ALWAYS FLUSH

when my crop is done we can have a finished bowl pic to show ash :)
I'm much less interested in white ash than I am in flavor and potency and IME flushing added nothing and occasionally took it away.

Oddly enough its my opinion that weed that burns clean always gave the best, unskewed high and had the best flavs.
My bowls always taste good to the last rip most everyone else's im tapping it out halfway cause it taste like shit

I dont care if people dont flush.

So long as you can light a pipe with one light,

Smoke the whole thing down with no stirring,

Taste good to about the last hit last hit usually just taste like the lighter (im talking burning to the very end to examine ash)

And leave a fine white or very light grey ash white is preferred.

If you can do this without flushing i would smoke it and be happy :)

That is just hogwash. I've ran hydro crops under every ec imaginable and if your shit is still green at harvest your not gonna get that connuseur smoke and white ash.
Sorry but your just not.
And if you want to ruin a perfect white ash flower just roll it in a RAW rolling paper :lol:

Dont mistake potency for chemicals lol not saying you are but for others
I don't believe it is "Nutrients" people claim to taste. As in your not directly tasting fertilizer.
You are however tasting chlorophyl, nitrogen, etc.
I have noted the same thing in lettuce leaf. High N fert right to picking makes for a more bitter flavor.

I have grown side by side pure blend and gh trio

I flushed both EQUALLY which tasted better?
The pureblend by far

Gh trio grown weed has a particular note that i can always pick up...just like if they use guanos, or advanced nutes, and im Pretty sure i know how to taste for canna coco as well :)

I believe flavors go like this
Strain 50% of flavor profile this ones obvious.

Enviroment 30% ie if you grow hot and cold with the same strain it will be differnt in flavor slightly to alot. (My room never goes over 77 )

Light spectrum 10% same i think you get slight flavor changes by spectrum, as the leds i have added always shown frostier plants that where directly under them. And some used to think you could get different profiles from mh and hps lighting

Nutes10%im a beliver that you can always taste slight notes of the nutes aromas.

Hard to explain easy to show with a side by side grow..even if your well flushed and burning to white ash i could taste a difference between gh trio and botanicare pureblend :lol:

Peace to all flushers and non flushers ;)

But i also HIGHLY agree with you on the chlorophyll:)

I want my girls faded so i can see their natural colors

Which PureBlend did you use and what was your overall experience with it?

I ran PureBlend Pro against Ionic. PureBlend you could pick out visually as a frostier nug, but when it met the lighter it was unanimous in a blind test the Ionic tasted better.

Thats a big nute decision for me is the final taste :)

It was long ago many moons since but i was using the pro im pretty sure plus a few of their additives

That product is virtually impossible to get a perfectly happy plant in hydro. Tried, like this......Tried like that ........ Finally threw in the towel on that one :fire:
Worked tits in coco dtw i think thats about the time i retired from coco and went into water culture

cause i remember i think trying a run with pure blend in dwc and it turning to shit (probably just me) so i went to the cns 17 line . And back and forth with gh trio and botanicare

since the trio worked better for water culture even though the taste was better with the pureblend i went to the trio (didnt taste bad just not as good as the pb did)
Went that way for a couple years

Then i got bit by advanced nutes for nearly 7 years but i mainly just ran their base no additives :)
Had a small stint with canna coco

Never tried the ionic . Though but now im fully conveted to the dry nutes at least for now

I do a minimum of one week to 10 days flush, I believe I get a better burn but to me what make the biggest difference is a good curing.
This grow will sort of be a good test. This Monster Crop Pheno #5 was taken from it's mother plant at day 33 of flower.. I did not do a very good job of curing those jars of the mother, pheno #5 from the first run and they are harsh, don't burn well and the fragrance is just not there.
Now this grow, the MC, will get a full two to three week cure after a 10 day flush. Will be a good comparison

GR.
