Honestly it's been proven that flushing is a forum myth and serves no purpose whatsoever.

yeah i had heared a few say to do it and a few say it dont matter. i was going to do a side by side comparison with nutes up to chop down day vs rippen vs water flush to see the difference. ive had 3 hermies in there now and quite a bit of the other plants have seed coming so im giving them all rippen to try and get them all down as soon as possible. maybe ill try it with the next run. if people are flushing and theres no need for it, it could lose a bit on yelid if you starve them for the last 2 weeks

Exactly,Dr Paul Hornby (PhD) has been talking about this for years.

CC: I recently heard about a sample that was at 36.8% THC. Do you know anything else about that profile?

DH: Yeah, I did the analysis.

CC: What plant was that?

DH: I watched the thing come out. My mouth was hanging down around my knees. I couldn't believe it. It was amazing. It was just incredible!

CC: And was it mature?

DH: It peaks? I don't know if I should be talking about this? well, I guess it's okay. We've recently discovered a phenomenon in growing an eight week plant. The THC peaks between weeks six and seven and it's about two or three points less at week eight as it is at week seven.

CC: Why?

DH: Well that's because you're flushing. When you flush, you stop your nutrient flow into your plant; it quits producing resinous cannabinoids, your leaf weight increases into the last week, but you don't see the cannabinoids increase. You're diluting your cannabinoids in the leaf weight. But if you cut it at week seven, you're going to get the nutrients in your bud. There's a catch-22 there. We're trying to sort out which nutrients are required to keep the THC coming while the flush is continuing, if that's possible. So, this is news for all growers. We discovered this phenomenon about a month ago. We've seen it before,it just hadn't really come clear in our minds.

I'm just finished a grow mrt, I gave them ripen for ten days and then chopped, no flushing at all and that was in the wilma system. First time using the stuff tho but that's what I was recommended to do if this helps m8
