Flushing with cold water before harvest good or bad?

Hi everyone I have been reading about doing a cold water or ice water flush before harvest and was wondering if anyone here has tried it before or not and does it actually work meaning does it force the plant to produce more trichomes before harvest. Interested in hearing other people’s opinions on this before I try it. If I try it I’m not going to do the darkness part of it where I have seen other people do I would just be doing a cold water flush.

Definitely don't use the ice water trick, it'll ruin your harvest. It's a joke other growers tell you to try to ruin your crop. Who knows probably happened to them once.

The best preharvest method is burning the roots you see if you pull the plant out of it's pot. It scares the THC up into the buds. Gotta show them who's boss right?

don't forget to hang your plants upside down while hanging upside down beside them like a bat yourself.

It shows togetherness and makes the plant feel better about being killed.

Sorry a bit of sarcasm. No such process. Trichomes don't form overnight. Whatever 24 or 48 hr process people do at the end is not going to have any type of measureable effect on the plants. Flushing, darkness, etc. Your end result is your end result, a day of anything isn't going to change it.
