The questions asked are aimed at a Soil garden with bottled Nutes and hypothetically aimed at a picturesque/ideal garden but may apply to others (help a newbie out please). I've read so much on this debate/process (scientific and broscience), asked people. And seen well renowned people such as Mr. Grow it and Mr. Canuck (among others known and unknown) although both mentioned are using organic pre amended soil/coco, they only water (maybe with molasses/honey) for the last two weeks and say they get a beautiful fade through their girls consistently by doing that (excluding any def's). Although Mr. grow it, had released a video showing a study which does mention a few benefits/debunk a few wives tails. Others such as Mr. Canuck and even Mr. grow it, honestly, support the "smoother smoke". A few others mention the breakdown/depletion of remaining/excess nutrients within the plant specifically i.e. sulfur, phosphorous, nitrogen which may affect taste, onsets quicker/ can occur from flushing prior to harvest.... my questions based on all this are:
- Once a plant is almost "ready" or just ready for pluck/chop, if it had nutrient burn slight or severe or even despite this, would the plant really only have what nutes are needed to dry/cure/be smoked and no more, and would any of them affect the taste/process of dark period/chop/drying/curing for desired outcome you want (specifically smoke)?
- Is Chlorophyll the only internal contributing factor/compound towards taste within the plant/buds in the final few weeks of a pheno/plants life before the dark period/chop/dry/cure? ***(excluding all uncontrollable variables such as genetics and external factors such as moisture/rh/temp/airflow/overall conditions and environment that's all i can think of...)***
- Does having less/no nutrients in the soil (besides make the plant use what's inside of it) help break down Chlorophyll and or any other taste affecting internal non variable factor faster (minus n deficiency if that makes sense)?
Hopefully that any of this makes sense... i have a ton more questions but honestly i am still researching hours of botanical studies/experiences/vlogs etc. everyday
I'm sorry in advance if any frustration is caused - I'm trying to exclude the variables in my questions and get down to the bottom of flushing, and although obviously comparing two clones of the exact same plant/pheno and doing a side by side of flush and no flush in the exact same conditions that go through the same process (except on being flushed) would probably be the only way to find if it makes a real or personal difference (besides placebo lol)... I've 0 grows under the belt so this is not possible especially in illegaland .This is in the name of science . . .
I personally find NV's videos interesting as refference for what im talking about such as this one:
At 38 mins he explains why he does it and what benefits he thinks it has.
