Flushing (Outdoors) or not to flush?

Okay, yes the debate, should I flush or should I not? Has anyone ever not flushed and it tasted like shit?

I grow indoors but I do not flush and my smoke doesn't taste like shit. Tastes like berries!

I believe it's all in the dry and cure. Some will say that flushing is needed though.

I'd like to hear from someone who is religious about flushing.

I definitely need to practice my drying and curing this year lol. Pretty dry last time, but that is for a different forum.

flush it. im my opinion it cant hurt, if anything it will help. so why not. i hear alot of the ash is whiter when its flushed right but i think its more than just a thorough flsu h that determines that. but if you put stuff in the water that you wouldnt add to your bowl and hoot, id flush it just because.

ive explained my beliefs and experience before...im for flushing, atleast just some straight water for maybe a week..you're not going to "starve" your plant. Ive noticed too that when u flush, curing is less of an ordeal.

Whether or not, or how much a plant needs to be flushed depends solely on how the plant was fed to begin with. If you have salt built up from overfeeding with synthetic or organic nutes, then you need to flush for sure. A properly fed plant IMO really doesn't need to be flushed because it should use up whatever food it has before it's done, but not too early that it starves at the end.
Clean burning grey ash comes from properly fed AND properly dried and cured bud, both have to be done properly. In my experience, organically fed plants need less "flushing" than synthetically grown bud, and it NEVER tastes as good no matter how well it'sflushed and cured. Not that you can't get very good tasting herb from properly grown synthetics, because you can, it's just a little harder to do.
If you have any doubt, or question as to whether or not to flush, do it, it can't hurt as long as your plants aren't already turning yellow like they're running out of food.

Hey thanks guys.. this helped.
