I'm interested in the seven-day water curing method. Since one of the results is that chlorophyll and other undesirables evaporate off, I'm wondering if the practice of halting nutrients two weeks prior to harvest is necessary. I'm also wondering if the recommended final flush before harvesting is necessary.

Has anyone tested the effectiveness of the method on a crop that has fed up to the harvest? Has anyone tested the method without having performed a final flush?

Thanks.
