Okay, so I didnt flush, but the last 2 waterings I did just straight water. Hung the whole plant to dry for one day then trimmed all the buds and hung to dry for another 3 days, cut the buds off the stem and jarred them for a day, and then paper bagged them for a half a day, then back in the jar, been repeating this to bring the RH down for a couple days now and to continue slow drying them. RH in the jars is about 67%.
I had my cousin try some and she said it was not harsh at all, smoke burned clean and the ash was white, no char. Said it smelled and tasted sweet and like lemon cookies. So I'm sold on it.
