I am curious to see who flushes before harvest and who doesn't. I think it would answer a lot of peoples questions to see the results.
Right with ya buddy.oakley is on it there.. if anyone is growing in soil, tell me how you are going to STARVE your plants by flushing. can anyone show me pictures of their STARVING plant??? All you are doing by flushing is removing excess salts, minerals and everything else. the soil still holds the essentials, and for the last week, you will not notice a malnourished plant.
The act of providing water for the last days upon harvest delivers a CLEANER smoke than otherwise. If you are using organics, i will admit there is less of a need to flush, but it still gives a nice clean taste.
I have grown a few plants for mass weight rather than quality. it was an experiment and i did not flush for more than two days. My smoke was horrible. great genetics and bud structure, but Horrible smoke. Harsh and BLACK ASH, which means that there are still minerals and metals in the bud= NO good
just my two cents though.... oh yea and if you are on the east coast or anywhere other than cali. go ahead and dont flush haha. i forgot how spoiled we are here with our delicious tasting and incredibly potent buds. If you guys are used to mediocre smoke and it doesnt bother you then go for it
