Look no matter what option you are going to go, flush or no flush
Do what you think suites your needs best. There are multiple ways to crop a plant, do what is best for your situation.

I flush in 10-14day in drain to waste RDWC
Some people don't flush at all ...that's why their weed is harsh as shit

New Research Shows Flushing Plants Before Harvest May Be Unnecessary

In a blind taste test, researchers have found that many prefer cannabis that has not been flushed before harvest.

Yesterday in my grow room, canna coco and GH Flora Series trio, day 52. The plants in the foreground are sensimilla and the plants in the background (at 35 days) are seeded (Bodhi Blueberry Hashplant). Anecdotally I don't flush and I've run several of the same clones side by side to test this. Taste is not changed by flush. All it does is reduce your yield as you starve your plant during final bulk up.

ffwp,
Sorry your thread turned into a shit flinging show.
Those are nice looking plants.
Flushing is a very controversial topic, and whenever it is brought up, there will never be agreement.
I personally opt for a fade instead of a flush. I grow in hydro and can watch the uptake of PPM reduce as I near the end of the grow cycle.
When the plant tells me she doesn't need that high of a solution of nutrients, I lower the PPM.
This is just my personal opinion!!!
I believe that if the proper about of nutrients are given during the duration of the grow, then there is no need to flush. However, if the plants have been overfed their entire lives, then yes, a flush may be beneficial.
I would respectfully suggest that you do a bit of studying on the topic, and make your own call.
You will never get a straight answer to your question.
You grow your grow!
Cheers,
WillieP

I'm in hydro. I flush every 2 weeks. My girls get only water that one day (my water runs about 250 PPM so it's enough to leach any excess or nutrient salts). I don't flush at the end. Taste and smoothness are a function of cure.

There is no one right way to grow. The best way to learn is to experiment. That's why I ran the same clones side by side and some I flushed and the others I didn't. So just ask a lot of questions and keep what you like. This is a weed. It can be picky but mostly it's a weed so it will grow for you while you experiment. Enjoy the journey.

I ain't losing no weight, it's already been gained...now it's time to get calyxes the size of grapes, but I bet you got no idea on that either. ;)

We could fight it out with our own opinions for ever ,but it all comes down to our own techniques and learning experience's that you must learn for yourself. That's how true knowledge is gained and I don't take to kindly to troll's saying other wise and acting like they know it all and I don't have a fucking clue what I'm doing.

I see that you have been on RIU since May of 2020, so you may already know this.
If you take your mouse cursor and hold it over a members user name it will give you some information about them.
Number of messages, Reaction score, Points, Joined date...
This will give you a snap shot of who you are listening to.
The reaction score is sorta like their reputation in the RUI community.
You listen to who ever you want to.

So if the point of flushing is to starve you plants of nutrients so that the buds arent filled with 'nasty' nutes wouldnt flushing disprove itself becuase the plant is just transporting the nutrients from the leaves to the bud anyway so it doesnt achieve anything all youre doin is making it harder for the plant to access the nutrients it clearly wants

Man you anti flushers ..
Like I get it it you want a bigger yield but at what price and don't tell me it don't taste harsh cause it fucken does! can't put the wool over my eyes. If the plant isn't flushed correctly you're going to notice.

All this bullshit about it being a myth ... for years people been flushing ain't no one say dick. But now we live in yield wars and it has become such a competitive thing among growers where now basic practices are made fun of because you could be sacrificing the tiniest amount of harvest

Give me a break! Flushing has been on everyone of my nutrient guides. So how is it even nutrient companies recommend flushing? Wouldn't it be more favoring for them to remove it? I mean if the taste and quality wasn't so different I wouldn't make such a big fuss. But this yield mentality makes growing really boring and diluted.

Bro i aint gonna try change your mind, but i used to flush and then tried without flushing and theres zero difference its all placebo effect

And nutrient companies recommend it coz they sell bottles of shit to flush with :lol:
And i never said anything about yield..

Pssst nutrient companies also recommend using more nutrients than required
I don't flush and have a list of clients who have never even tasted harsh weed
It is due to the dry and the cure, not flushing

one week
Then trim entire plant
3 days later drop in jars

So wait a week, trim and still let hang for 3 days? Then cut off stalk and into jars they go? Final trim when ready to smoke after burping? I honestly like my flowers not cut to the skin, I like a little sugar leaf to form that blanket of terps.
