yes, otherwise your herb will taste like chemicals and nutes when it dries and u burn it.

Why skip a step after all this work and risk getting chemically tasting marijuana?

Good call - flush for sure, its smokeable w/o one though.

That all depends on your feed level. Are you using jus tthe bloom or mixing with Grow Big? If you have been pushing them hard (over 1200PPM @.5) then yes, flush. If you have not been pushing them that hard then flush is not necessary. Most "chem" taste is from Nitrogen in the ferts and as long as the level is fairly low there is no bad taste.

I kind of have something similar.. I was using Tiger Bloom and Grow Big.. Plants were only three weeks flowering.. Circumstances caused me to have to get rid of them.. so rather than just throw them all away i figured i would at least keep some nuggies and try to find a way to use them. Could i just make hash with it all? would it be as chemically then? Are the nutes really bad to smoke anyways?

"flushing is just better" - I disagree. Flush if you want to - but as long as you are not heavy on N in your fert and are not pushing them to hard with high PPM then there is no need. In fact, if you do it right, you can run 3 full flowering cycles without changing the res, let alone dumping perfectly good nutes down the drain and flushing.

Actually aside from taste flushing is also about making it burn consitantly and stay lit like cigarette tobacco. If you don't flush it won't burn as well, even dried to the right level you often find it won't stay lit at all whereas properly flushed pot would burn consistantly and let you roll j's that don't keep going out. It does make a difference.

shitty burning nugs are common for dirt, not hydro. black ash? dirt, not hydro.
i grew up on a farm, and have a question for anyone who's ever bought produce, or known someone who's grown it.....
did the farmers flush the tomatoes? did they taste like nitrogen?
the chemicals are metabolized, and changed to plant matter. why rob the plant of fertilizer during the two weeks that it's gaining the most weight? my hydro unflushed beats the crap out of competitors dirt stuf, grown organically with a flush. o.0
use good nutes and not too much, and there is no need to flush.
