Flush or not

Ive personally tried a side by side grow same strain same nutes same everything and imo id habe to say that the one that was flushed was alot smoother and tasted just as good if not better then the one i didnt flush
I've noticed the same thing. But, what I initially felt was harshness could also be viewed as stronger flavors. My friends like the smoother results of pre-harvest cleansing (water only for 10 days). I kind of like the stronger flavors of feeding to the end. I'm finding that half-strength nutes the last 10 days, or water only the last couple feedings is a good compromise.

But, myself and others definitely notice a difference. I think it boils down to personal preference (taste vs. smoothness) and nutrients (synthetic vs. organic, whether you feed too strong and get salt buildup).

(I imagine the cacophony of "no you didn'ts" in response to your side-by-side is perplexing. It would be to me.).

Thanks bruh I agree with you one hundred percent I gave an honest opinion on an experiment i personally did if you dont want to flush by all means dont it works for me thats all that matters id love to do 100% organics and teas but where i was at had zero electric and zero water even if i could run organics id still give straight molly water for the last 2 weeks imo i flush and i have 0 problems with low yields 350+ off a 99 and 130+ of 55 plant garden oh and they were flushed funny thing is farmers around me hit me up for smoke because they know its smooth af and fire and theyve been growing longer then ive been alive points is if you dont want flush by all means dont

I agree, some people flush and some don't. But the reason behind why you flush is wrong. When you flush you're doing the opposite of "getting rid of the bad stuff" - you are actually forcing more of the bad stuff to your buds. So if you flush, at least know the facts behind the process. I don't care if people flush or not, I'm not smoking it or growing others plants so it doesn't matter.

Fact is, don't flush because you think it gets rid of chemicals.

So thats the key to organics, electricity and water. Go figure? Mother Nature has been doing it wrong for so, so many years.
Try brewing teas without power for your air pump jackass yeah you can hand feed organics but its expensive af and when you have barely enough money to feed your self synthetics work just fine

Not one scientific fact in any of the links. Again just opinions. Sure you can do it all day. Because the world is full of people that allow the "power of suggestion" control their lives. Lets see when a MJ plant is flushed the fan leaves yellow and die. Yet the buds remain green. Now I get it! You kids are smoking the fan leaves. Your logic for flushing is so flawed its amazing.

WOW it really like im talking to a wall you wont get "scientific" facts untill mj is legal fact of the matter is like i said if somethings grown organicly or using just the ground, water, and the sun no it shouldn't be flushed but imo ANYTHING thats grown with any synhetic nutrients should be properly flushed like if your using a smart pot you flush to get the salt build up and nutrients you dont need in your meduim i know people that will drink there brewed teas before they give it to there plants there logic if its not good for you its not good to consume the plant your using it on wether you smoke it or eat it try drinking some synthetic nutrients let me know if you survive you think that its safe to smoke a plant that absorbed that so yeah if you use synthetics its best to flush that stuff out as much as possible

and the ignorance goes on and on and on. guess what genius? Plants can't tell if the nitrogen,potash.phos or any other nute is from synthetic or Um"organic"
learn basic plant botany before you call people ignorant and make yourself look more ignorant with every post.
