It effects trichome production.
I always flush for two weeks usually 7 days with a flushing agent and then just 7 days plain r/o water I do give 48-36 hours of darkness always.

It doesn't do anything from I've heard from people who have tried it on same strain. Outcome was exactly the same.

Light degrades THC, so the 36 hours of darkness are supposed to help with building up THC faster right before harvest.
Flushing does nothing for soil grows. There is absolutely no reason to flush it. Any change in taste is your head messing with you because people try and burn it into your brain that flushing is necessary.

No lights for 36 hours to increase your THC production, but no food for a week or two before harvest starving it of nutrients in the last days of it's life.... it just seems counter productive. No other plant in the world needs to be flushed before you harvest it. People seem to forget that marijuana is just a plant.

That could have also been because of your drying and curing, not flushing. But I don't do hydro so I say let hydro growers flush if it works for them, in soil however it's not needed.

your wrong if you dont flush in soil you will taste what you grew with i have tried it for myself same strain same room

I can say with certainty it was all in your head. Try getting someone who knows how to grow and dry/cure their stuff. Then have you sample it with out telling you which is which. Smoke a snap of each one a few times so you can get you answer straight, and I bet you come up all over the board as to which is flushed and which isn't.

Here is some pics. In my friends basement so the lighting for pics aint so great

what seed co besides Attitude has Autoflowering and delivers stealth to usa? I cant order from Attitude, my card is still tied up for $176 with them, what a nightmare. So I have to go with another co for now that also accepts credit cards

i flush for ten days with ph 5.5 water and last 48hrs is complete darkness i use a nft system and this is what works for me

good luck

You are right about thc increase. When the plant sits in darkness for more than its usual time. The plant knows its going to die. So naturally it starts to push out as much thc as it can to produce seeds so its lineage can live on. Since th plant has not been polinated seeds cant be produced so the calyx swell up that much more and theres an abundance of trichome production from the extra thc being pushed out..... Ta daaa

Also the plants look great

I do organic soil with only feeding guano teas. I dont have to flush. Ive tried bothe ways and it tastes the same. But I flush the last 2 waterings just to make smoother smoke. Its more harsh otherwise. No sparks or anything just more harshness
