...will my crops taste like chemicals?

No no and no. Dry slowly and cure properly and you will be golden.

Thanks man, I will do my best to get the best result that I can get with my setup.
It is a cardboard box 3x2x1 with black/with foil and reflective isolation padding because it gets really cold in the night time, it's usually around 19c with lights off and 23 with lights on and humidity never gets above 55 and it doesn't get below 40
And with the 5 cfl bulbs (100 actual watt together)
And I have used my phone to measure light with a app called "KeuwlSoft licht meter"
A very sunny day gives me 50.000 Lux and my 5 CFL setup gives me 30.000 Lux a 5 inch distance, I also got a pc fan that's blowing cool air across my bulbs and the hot air is existing on the other side through my exhaust fan.
She's at day 59 and I was thinking about harvesting this Monday or Tuesday because the trichomes are 10/15% amber, I use a jewelers loop 30×
I AM NOT a pro-grower, this is my first time growing, I have done some homework on the Internet (reading) and a lot of people who helped out, and last but not least, a little common sense to wire the cables so I don't burn my house down

I'm also can't make a decision about wet trimming and dry trimming because some people say wet trimming wil make the plant think it's being attacked and release the "cut grass" smell and I have zero experience with both methods, I have only one plant so I can only try method.

I don't flush with nutes, I use PH'd water that's been sitting for 24+ hours until I get a runoff with a low ppm/ec reading 1 week before harvest, that's what most people say so I did that

You misunderstood, I don't flush.i feed em till I chop..with nutrients.

So you tell me you don't get any chemicals in your weed if you don't flush? And you don't get any chlorophyll taste/smell? (Chlorophyll makes plants green and causes the smell of fresh cut grass)
The reason why I chose to flush is to get rid of the chlorophyll as much as possible bevore I harvest so the curing time will be less for the buds to smell and taste good.
Again, I'm not a expert, I'm just using a little knowledge and common sense, I could be wrong.

Nope no chemical taste or dodgy ash or crackling of any kind n I feed literally till the bitter end but I take my curing seriously as that's where taste is made..the grass smell is when it's not dried/cured correctly, has nothing to do with flushing. The whole flushing malarkey is bullshit.no logic behind it what so ever.
why deprive your ladies at such a crucial stage?bitches still be stacking the final two weeks.

I'm going to try that with my future grow.
Thanx for all the helpful information, I'm going to harvest Thursday maybe Wednesday
I'm also gonna give her 24 hours of darkness to make her stress and boost the THC production.
I will post info and pics of the final product
