i have flushed, non flushed, cured and uncured bud. non flushed is much harsher, with a burning sensation to the throat, though the taste is great. cured and non cured taste different, as fruitiness cam out with cure...

after my last grow, i think hydro nutes (or perhaps gh) is less effective in altering the taste and harshness with no flush. in dirt with other nutes, no flush produced almost un-smokable buds... in hydro, the same plant (clone) tastes much much better with no flush, gh three part nutes.

just my 2 pennies...
Scarlet Sky Reviewed by Scarlet Sky on . Flushing before harvest MythBuster I've seen a lot of people state the necessity of flushing your plants X number of days before you harvest to avoid your weed tasting like crap. I've also seen a few regulars on these boards saying it's not needed, commercial grows don't bother, the nutes don't get in the bud in their original form, etc. If you have experience with flushing, or not flushing and getting crappy weed, or not flushing and still getting great stuff, weigh in. Let us know what you know. If you don't Rating: 5
