Ok do you flush with bio bizz ??? Hearing mixed answers

And if you want to add a lot of confusion to the mix, do a blind smoke test with your flushed vs non-flushed buds.
It’s been done, in a blind taste test, most people preferred the unflushed weed. The longer the flush, the less people liked it. They also did gas chromatography and found no statistical difference in what was in the plant between flushed and unflushed, except iron was slightly higher in the flushed plants.

I'm familiar with the study, and my opinion is if you gave these "industry experts" the same nugs the next day, their answers would be different for the reasons you state above.

But it's insane to have a study and not mention the sample size of participants. Mentioning percentages without knowing if they were collecting data from 2 or 1000 participants makes the results pretty close to meaningless.

Do you have any scientific studies that say flushing accomplishes anything?

I heard an interview by a doctor in plant physiology with an emphasis on plant senescence who claims that when a plant knows it's dying and it has not been seeded, it changes its monoterpene characteristics due to the stress of knowing it's not going to seed another generation, so he recommends leaching nutrients.

That sounds plausible, but it is far different than a peer-reviewed study and makes it not much better than the RX Green empirical study. But legitimate studies won't happen in the US until the plant is rescheduled.

To your question, no, nor have I asserted that flushing does anything, which is why I stated that their answers of which weed tasted best or worst would change if given the same samples over daily for an extended period of time. I would change that position if that study said they had 500 regular smokers take the tests and those were the percentages.

As is, without naming who the experts are or at least how how many of them there were, I can only conclude that there were very few testers and they were probably like budtenders, as "industry expert" is a very vague and pretentious phrase when asserting someone's expertise for a study they expect people to take seriously.

It's an area that needs more serious study I agree as the science goes right now it's a bit thin regarding flushing there ain't been many study's done only a couple that I'm aware of
