Your gonna get a bunch of different theories about flushing on here.
1. Check trichomes, see if they are where you want them. See attachment...
2. You will get alot of people tell you flushing is not needed. If you believe this to be true, cut when trichomes are ready.
3. You will get alot of people tell you flushing will make your bud smoother than a unicorn fart. If so, when your tricho.es are almost where you want them flush with just water and cut a week later.
4. You will get a bunch of other wild ass ways to harvest too numerous to name here.
At the end of the day its your call. You really aint hurting the bud either way. I reccomend you flush a plant and smoke it, grow it again and dont flush it, then compare and decide for yourself
That is what this thread will boil down to based on the other 1000 or so like it on here.
