2 divergent context here...one that's taste oriented, and one that is based in the science aspect of the methodology.
You add nutes you grow bigger faster, that's physics, that's provable...you add too much you mess up the plant....same with burning something, less molecular impurities in the burning substance produces a purer flame. 93 octane, or 85 octane...dirty gas...that's friggin science man.
you want a cleaner burning flower for someone with sensitive inhale, then flush it...screw the haters
maybe clean hitting weed is nice, i dont know, it's not something i care about or seek out...ill burn raw fkn flower dried in front of a hair dryer for gods sake, i wanna get high and im doing it right now...but ill also defend someones right to understand flushing without the dramatic, traumatic, hostile engagement. i needed to know stuff, so i asked...you asked at one point...and now he's asking....be a cool uncle
