and yet it confirms what experience growers have said for decades. It may not be perfect but it's a step in the right direction.
Flushing Plants Before Harvest Is Unnecessary says Rx Green Tech

It confirms what exactly?

lol didn't think of that, good point. The more I think about it, the less "flushing" by any description makes sense. The whole 3x container thing only ever made sense for people overdoing synthetic nutes, and people don't tend to wait for the plant to die naturally before harvesting so of course it still wants nutrients, why would you starve it? This lends a bit of credit to flushing with molasses, because they're secretly fertilizing not flushing, and organically to boot.

Hardly. Still based their conclusion on the subjective opinion of “industry experts”....sorry you have trouble with reading comprehension and the scientific method.

So you work with Monsanto?

Yes, and because the impact is so "huge", there's practically no discussion around this topic. It's all so obvious.
Hell, why would anybody publish a "study" about this? "Study" sounds an awful lot like "studying" btw, and I've always HATED studying. Reminds me of school.
It's also blatantly bullshit when a company that sells nutrients and supplements finds out that it makes no difference if you use their nutrients and supplements for 2 more weeks per crop or not, and then talks about it.
Wait. Ah, damn.

I feed until the last drink Others won’t. This will never end. Some people flush away. Others don’t.
this site man lol.
you flush. Can’t be friends
48hr dark. Can’t be friends
Defoliant. cant be friends
People on THIS SITE have grown fire ass flower using all these bull shit methods ALONG with everyone else who chooses not to use them. Still growing great weed. I personally do not do anything advertised above. But I won’t judge those who do.
10 years ago. I coulda been smoking rat poop in my weed for all I knew. Flushing was not my first question when buying a bag

People act like it's some major feat to grow a weed. It's harder to mess up and kill than any other "crop" plant I know of. Of course everything works.

I'd also like to throw in that a lady friend of mine is a microbiologist with a PhD in the field, she works with plants in a lab on quite an advanced level (gene manipulation and the jazz). When it came to flushing Cannabis before harvest she was like "yeah... never heard of that; don't see how that would do anything"...
Of course she's a peer-reviewed scientist, so take it with a grain of salt (substitute your favourite over-priced supplement for the salt if you like).

What you said: people don't like to hear that they're wrong, esp. when they're obviously wrong. So they resort to hating. The equivalent of kicking your feet as a three-year old when mommy wants to take you to bed; sort of.

It comes down to a lot of people just being passionate about what they do, and about the product. Not a bad thing.
Probably the KISS method is the best, like in so many areas. The things you've mentioned (flushing, defoliating, 48 hrs) cannot have a meaningful impact or else there would be no discussion: it would simply be done by most people. So, the rational way is to not do any of these things, and instead put the time and effort elsewhere, such as finally getting out of Silver I in League of Legends.
KISS is also boring; if you grow as a hobby, you want to make it more interesting, so why not apply the secret sauce that so many people tell you is just snake-oil. Feels good to feel you're right about something.
People just like fighting about the area they're passionate about. I work in computer engineering, and it's the same over there: endless fights and discussions about things you just can't measure, developers in their trenches playing the game. It can be fun to watch with the correct attitude.

That's the thing, anyone with a background in agriculture or horticulture thinks the idea of end of harvest flushing is ridiculous. I don't even know what people think it does. Remove the minerals already in the plant? We already know that's impossible. Well, look at how many people believe in the Bible or the Koran or whatever-magical thinking is legitimized in their minds from birth. Believing in the mystical act of flushing isn't a big leap for them.
