Trichomes

What about the bad taste? I’m trying to nail my first grow, I don’t want to waste 3 months of growing for bad tasting buds. I listened to videos with bugbee and he says it doesn’t have any major effect whether you flush or not
It won't taste bad if you don't flush. It will taste perfectly fine as long as you dry it properly when you harvest. Whoever told you to flush hasn't got a clue what they are talking about. All that flushing does is starve your plants of nutrients.
 
You dont need to flush. Ive done a side by side test and I didn't notice a difference in the taste. I prefer hash if I really want to taste the terps.
Smoking flower is generally not as tasty, because of all the burning plant material.

Ok what if it was for a different reason? Let’s say I wanted to reduce the time of the cure process, it’ll be less chlorophyll to cure in the end. Is that a legitimate reason other than starving them? And that’s wild, I can only do the flower. I feel like everything else is a waste of money unless it’s like concentrate or something

I dont know... the science is sound. Less green, less chlorophyll. However, the flowers are always green when harvested. I dont often see people harvest yellow flowers.

Fermentation (sweating) breaks down the cellular structure and develops the flavor. This process can take several weeks or months. Aging also helps break down more of the harsh compounds.

Someone hinted this earlier in the thread: perfecting your curing method is the best way to produce smooth tasty smoke.
