Why keep it a green plant throughout the entire grow with knowing you could've turned the grow/yield up a notch?
If I give the plant 2 weeks rest before harvest and only flush, the taste will be just fine despite the fact that I'm a heavy feeder and the yellowing leafs in the plant.
So what is the big dis-advantage about some yellow leafs?
