    Flushing, I say is a myth. I know Im going to get alot of people telling me Im incorrect. Why would you want to starve your plants of essential nutes 2 weeks before you chop. Ive done the test. I had 2 grapefruits and flushed one and not the other. The outcome, no one could tell the difference. Its all in the curing. Let me just add that the plant I didn't flush was the one that everybody liked best. Just my opinion but I don't think its needed.(how can people taste nutes, the plant changes them to their food)

    The plant itself turns the nutes into its own feed. Trust me, its all about the curing. I wouldn't tell you bad advice

    Flushing isn't a myth at all mate. When you use non organic Nutes, not flushing leaves the unused Nutes in the plant material & in extreme cases makes the Weed crackle. That's fact

    this is pretty true it crackles and smokes much harsher but in my experince it mostly happens in hydro, in soil there isnt as much necessity, and when you go organic, often not needed at all
