I am at the stage right now where my plants are fattining up 2 weeks left or so,,,

SO Im curious if I shoudl full on flush or just start feeding Water to them....

LKast grow I did the water thing for Two weeks. and I personally didn't notice a difference from my othr grows where I was noob like and just feed it right till the end. Except that my plants were totally yellow by the end of it...

I use Botanicae Pure Bloom,, SO its organic based but. I think this time IM gonna try a full on flush Soon and then continue to feed with just water... See if that helps the tase...

YOu see my BUds never really smell yummy,,, They always smell like the Organic shit I feed them when they are alive ... Botanicare Pur Blend and BIO-GENSIS "High Tide"

The only time I had that yummy Smell from the plants while growing was when I used Micirlce Grow and Im not going there no matter how good the smell is...

I bet my harsher taste and smell is comming from my curing method.. I think I put it in Jars far to early... Cuz they are crispy dry when I put em in jars but then all the moisture comes right back to the buds... I have read this is right (and I let them air out a few hours then put them back into jars) but I think Im gona let them get more crispy before I put them in jars this time...

See if that helps the taste and smell of themm...

My home grown always kinda smells skunky,, or like a Barn... I'm no master YET... But I will bee...

I think your taste problem may be genetic... Bad tasting bud seeds grow bad tasting bud. I would let them dry until the stem will crack and not bend. All the moisture comes from the inside of the bud once you put it in jars. Buds will usually smell and taste grassy for about a month until it cures. Try using alittle sugar in your solution... Alot of high-end fertilizers have molasses in them which makes the buds fatter and sweeter.
I recently harvested a couple plants and I noticed that all the plants I flushed for a week were very smooth and the plants I only flushed for 2-3 days were a bit more harsh. I did notice a slow in growth though... I would say flush it for 5-7 days.
