I wouldn't recommend it. Mold becomes an issue.

Mold underwater? It's possible but no so common I thought?

I'm talking pull the root ball out of the pot, rinse it off with a hose til you got nothing but root left, then submerse it in RO water up to the stem, sealing it off from light and air further up the stem. Same answer?

Humidity will go to the roof and u don't want that in late flower

Lol what proof do you have of excess salts in unflushed plants? Flush your soil once in a while if you're really worried. Do a little reading on plant biology, with a botanical focus, not pot forum bro-science...
What is the most common problem for noobs? Over watering and salt build ups if u don't grow organic u should feed with a 10-15℅ runoff to avoid salt build ups or flush every 3-4 weeks if u don't feed with runoff., Now that's common sense

Flushing is myth. Sorry. Use water every other if you want, but don't "flush".
They want you to buy more nutes.

I feel like you mean over watering and over feeding. If you're over watering you cant get salt build. Thats counter intuitive thinking.

Purple strains typically have better (or more pronounced) flavors due to chloraphyll dying off at the end. The cost is a bit less potantcy. Less chloraphyll when starting the dry and cure will always be a good thing for flavor, I would think.
that's why experienced growers stop feeding purps all N in the last 2 weeks of bud so the plant can consume what it has stored,but were on the 2nd grow here,for new growers it's best to learn how to grow healthy plants very well & become accomplished before moving into more advanced techniques.

Obviously not both at the same time., I'm saying as a % of total noobs some either over water and others just feed and water without runoff and end up getting nutrients lockout., Yea I should specify better..

Can u comprehend better? Im against flushing plants also., BUT if u use synthetic nuts and DON'T FEED WITH A 10-15 RUNOFF and in your watering schedule u don't allow runoff to get rid of salt build ups U WILL NEED TO FLUSH to get rid of salt build ups and avoid lock out., THAT'S THE ONLY TIMES THAT U WILL NEED TO FLUSH YOUR SOIL., Now as a harvest flushing to improve flavor etc etc NO., It WON'T HELP!! is that better? Understand what I'm saying now. Lol

It's getting to the end of my season and I want to remove chlorophyll from my plant to improve taste.

A close friend with more experience than I told me to cover the plants to make my plant's leaves yellow. Would this be the case?

I'm not asking if it will boost resin production. Just asking if I can increase deterioration of chlorophyll in the final days of flower by using this method?

Thanks!

to my blog on the watercure to remove the chlorophyll from weed

is ideal for cooking too

If you're smart enough to notice when your plants don't like something, you'll never build up enough salt to have a problem. Keep it simple, don't overfertilize. That is the root of the issue.
