Confused about Flushing plant

Flushing is good for if you mess up the root zone and need to flush out the problems. I just did it recently because of lock out, buildup from not having any runoff for a while, a couple flushes and then replace the zone with some good stuff. The big debate is weather you should flush at the end to cause fade and stress to the plant...

Me, I think i would flush in hydro once the buds are ready to chop, flush for a couple days to turn them yellow, degrading the chlorophyll, which is what THEY say they are doing in the CURE

I give plain water once a week to prevent toxicities/buildup in my coco. Plants love it, key point there is "I give plain water" i don't FLUSH them. Flushing everything out of the rootzone is a waste of water and time. Feel free to give them plain water a few days before harvest, why would you fertilize a rootzone you plan to chop and throw away?

The real key is feeding a balanced diet start to finish and if in soil properly sizing your grow container for the plants life cycle. Either way, the weed will smoke the same, the biggest factor in having smooth smoke is the post harvest process and curing in my experience. I've rush dried crops for patients that didn't care and it was not good to me, to them they had smoke and honestly don't give a fuck about terpz and all that. Oldschool. Love it.
