Flushing is essential to flavor. Compair side by side taste for taste and you'll find your answer. First flush should be Quater strenght nutes then plain non chlorinated water.

I honestly think that the reason people flush is because it will allow them to smoke their buds faster than waiting 2 months for curing. I think if your not in a rush and can cure for 2 months or longer their is no need to flush your plant because by then aweful taste would be gone, I may be wrongi got a batch coming up in 2 weeks and i will try not flushing 1 and giving nutes all the way till the end and keep flushing the others my regular way and ill let ya know after a few days of drying and curing if its worth the flush or not
When drying just make sure you get all of the leaf off or that green hay taste will leech back into your buds. As far as flushing goes I guess it all depends on what and how much nutes your feeding with. In the case of veganics I don't really see a reason to, on the other hand if your using a set of chemical nutes and dealing with salt build then flushing is deff required. If you feel like maybe there is still some nutes in the buds and what not I would deff flush.no one wants a harsh kill your lungs type of smoke. You don't ever really hear produce farmers talk about flushing too often. That's why this summer I'm going super soil all the way.Well i read that drying your bud correctly and curing it correclty will bring out the flavors without flushing! I mean there are a lot of opinions out there. The reason I say this is because, why flush, do you really want your plant to go deficient at its best time of growth. I honestly don't. I want green healthy leaf threw whole grow. I may be wrong and I will flush anyway. Like I said, I don't know all the answers to growing, so still learning here, and trying to find great advice from advanced Growers. HMMMMM
