That is not really true for soil or hydro.
If you do not feed plants in coco/hydro you stress them. I am about a week away from picking and I feed my plants every day.
Buds do not store nutrients.

Too much BS in this thread.
There is quite a bit more to taste than genetics, by the way. Growing style, curing times and methods certainly play a role in the outcome of the finished product. Trimming seems to be an important factor as well. The slow dry and cure is important for good taste\smell characteristics... the plant cells that comprise the buds are still "active" after you cut it from the plant. Compounds in the cells are continuing to break down, particularly the chlorophyll, which would otherwise contribute a harsh minty-green taste to the smoke.
).
As for Cannabis being 'very' difficult to grow... well it isn't, or at least it shouldn't be if you know what you are doing. I suppose, though, that it is just about as easy to fail as it is to succeed. Of course, it helps to have some sort of idea how to grow plants, in general. However, growing good Cannabis to harvest may not be as easy as getting a bean to sprout in a cup. Probably not quite as easy as growing beans or vegetables in the ground outdoors.
Growing good Cannabis, indoors, also relies on some equipment, materials, patience and conditions (you need the stuff to achieve the conditions). Summer time is the worst time of the year to grow pot inside, by the way. Ultimately it all comes down to knowing how you want\have to do what you are going to do. There are obviously different growing methods: hydroponics versus soil or soil-less and methods like living organics. Grow advice really tends to depend exactly on how you want to grow, because advice for someone growing hydro tends to conflict with someone who is doing soil organics.
This guy admits to being a total newbie... and then proceeds to go on as if he knows what he is talking about. Flowering plants tend to need more phosphorous and less nitrogen. Some fan leaf yellowing just prior to harvest is not a big deal. Depending on growing style the leaves may turn yellow, orange, red... or in other words 'autumn off' as harvest time approaches.

Anywhere warm, dark with good circulation will do. It also helps if the humidity isn't high, or you can use Damp-Rid in the room you're drying in. A little nugglet might dry out in as little as 12-18 hours, then it would be good to put it in a little sealed jar for a few and then come back to check it. I have dried whole plant harvests and jarred them up in as little as 3-4 days. Even without prolonged curing the smell and taste were exceptional (I grow in living soil, though

I've seen the test done with my own eyes
There is a significant difference in using nutes the last 1-2 weeks in soil. I notice the chlorophyll taste a lot more when big bloom was still being added to the OG day 62 of flower. Stopped using it with half the plants on day 57, and continued with other half. They cured the EXACT same in mason jars, (as good as exact can be, of course stem size and bud size plays a role) But what I noticed big time was the harshness compared to the other. And flushed 5 days before harvest. I mean to each is own, but for me, I seemed to notice the big difference in taste

Lol Foxfarm soil is the shitobamshizznit.....partial to Happy Frog myself... only for moms though hempy pots for flowers...which is cheap too....Maxsea is waaaay better than miracle gro imho not knocking MG I have used b4, MS is cheaper too keeping with the "on the cheap" spirit....20 lbs for 100 bucks Sun drying may be ok for Produce but most here are growing medicine....to each their own but I think eventually you will stop sun curing.

Now we're talking about flushing, who has something wrong with their flusher ? Call a plumber....
Flush your plants all you want ! If you over nute.....
Any other flush is a waste of time, no matter how many BS tests you have run...
Newbies don't listen ... flushing waste time and hurts your plants...
You can do it if you want... if you grow 2-3 plants per year, and you think you are an expert? Really....
When you advise for 'others' to flush, you are showing us that you are inexperienced, and pretty new to the growing game, and you have listened to the wrong peeps...
Now, if you enjoy the flush [which is a waste of time] then by all means, keep flushing and wasting your time... you enjoy it for gawds sake!
And I would never want to take away anothers enjoyment....

That's bullshit, there are hundreds of good cannabis growers on this website. Are most of them clowns? I guess that's a nice way of putting it. I would have gone with "douche bags with partially skewed knowledge and falsified overblown egos".

IDK man, Big Bloom is a very low NPK plant food... there is still the matter of how much is being applied, and what kind of 'soil'. Although, I see no reason to use any nutrients a week before you plan to harvest, in soil. In a living soil (soil in nature is alive), colonies of microbes are proliferating in the rhizosphere, breaking down organic matter, metabolizing compounds and releasing "waste" as plant-usable nutrients, or otherwise producing nutrients (e.g. N-fixing, nitrifying bacteria), or seeking nutrients\water for the plant directly (e.g. mycorrhizal fungi), or simply storing nutrients inside of their cells within the rhizosphere. The beneficial microbes and greater soil food web are nourishing and protecting the plant, and on it's own the plant can derive nutrition from it, indefinitely... so long as the microbes that make up the foundation of the soil food web are being taken care of. Those liquid organic 'plant' foods are feeding the plant in a more indirect manner. Low doses of a liquid organic, or some AACT should suffice up until the final couple weeks, and then water only.
cause youre messing crap up you on a mobile or ipad or something?

Buds do not store fertilizer. Flushing soil is not beneficial.

All you need to know to start growing weed:
1. Join RIU
2. Read a lot of journals
2. Find someone who has a detailed journal with plants you think look good
3. Attempt to replicate results, following journal as close as possible. Post a journal, people might watch and help.
4. Fail
5. Repeat until success.

I'm not the one messin it up, I have been quoted in another post, and it is credited to vegaskush, and I am on a PC. I am not messin anything up. Thought being a mod and all, you would at least try to be helpful. I would expect an answer like that from some clown poster, but whatever, no skin off my ass.

You must be... quite a few people have in this thread, when attempting to quote multiple posts. You need to make sure your BB tags are in order, perhaps the closing tag is missing. Notice how your post begins with

Did I hurt your feelings little guy? Funny how we are all trolls, but you are the one that has offered nothing.
