Hi everyone I have been reading about doing a cold water or ice water flush before harvest and was wondering if anyone here has tried it before or not and does it actually work meaning does it force the plant to produce more trichomes before harvest. Interested in hearing other people’s opinions on this before I try it. If I try it I’m not going to do the darkness part of it where I have seen other people do I would just be doing a cold water flush.
Flushing with cold water before harvest good or bad?

Definitely don't use the ice water trick, it'll ruin your harvest. It's a joke other growers tell you to try to ruin your crop. Who knows probably happened to them once.
The best preharvest method is burning the roots you see if you pull the plant out of it's pot. It scares the THC up into the buds. Gotta show them who's boss right?

Flushing of any kind should only be done in specific circumstances.
End of harvest or nearing harvest isn't one of them. That's bro-science and should be ignored.

Never heard of that process how does it work exactly?

Flushing is for the medium, not the plant. 
That said there is a place for flushing but nobody ever looks at it from toilet papers side

Sorry a bit of sarcasm. No such process. Trichomes don't form overnight. Whatever 24 or 48 hr process people do at the end is not going to have any type of measureable effect on the plants. Flushing, darkness, etc. Your end result is your end result, a day of anything isn't going to change it.
So I hung upside down with the plant but passed out after an hour and was laid out on the floor so I messed that one up lmao
