i am flushing it cos its about to be chopped soon and thats what ive always done and from reading on here so do most people,
do u not flush ur plants before harvest??
well I flushed my first two plants before I started seriously reading about this. I also fell for those hypes like majority of newbies here... The thing is that by flushing you do not really force it to flower faster or better or taste better. The only thing you do is seriously stress the plant. That just stuns the growth and yields less. now I follow these set of rules and so far been very happy about results:
If you want bigger and tastier nugs, keep high N throughout the grow to maintain all of the foliage. Bottom yellowing is not normal
do not use high P ferts cause indoor its rare to have deficiency of it, and actually it causes quite some trase element lockouts
do not cut the feeding and DO NOT flush. Flushing in the books I've read or threads is meant for a last resort, when you seriously accidentally overfeeding your girls, and without flushing it would die. Any other reason is based on hypes..
Most of the people claim that it tastes better, but as a matter of fact my previous flushed plants tasted like wet road weed, not mj, and it took a month for that taste to go away, when I got myself boveda humidipak 62%, after 1 week of drying and one week of curring it tasted wonderfully sugarry fruity as it should. Both smell and the taste was amazing. The thing is that curring is done most efficiently at 62% RH. Bellow 57% curring stops, above 69% mold and rotting risk increases. And First time I curred in 35% RH. humidipak controls humidity both ways so if it's two wet it absorbs, if it's too dry it releases moist.
if I were you I would really avoid flushing. Let the buds to pack up for the time which left for them. But that's just my 2 cents..
