Flush Versus No Flush Blind Test

Hey I just wanted you guys to know I'll be doing a test using five participants (friends) with various amounts of knowledge about marijuana and very little knowledge of flushing. Little disclaimer: I don't flush and I'm doing this only because I want something to reference when people say "well have you ever tried it", and hopefully you can too.

The first round of "testing" is going to be taking place in a week or two and I'll post the testimonials here. Here is what I'm doing.

Four AK47 auto plants grown in the same tent under a 400w HPS in 3 gallon pots in straight coco coir, fed the exact same nutrients until week 10. One plant was not flushed at all. One was flushed for one day. One flushed for three days and one flushed for a week.

Side note: The not flushed plant will be about a week farther into curing than the others at the time of testing. (Sorry)

I won't be taking part in the test. It's going to be five friends who have will only be told to rate them on taste and harshness.

why would one be further a head by a week ? you flower them at different times ?
if you do them at the same time also check weight difference between flushed and non flushed

For the non flushed plant are you cutting the feeding down or running flowering strength, and are you cutting out calmag at the end on them all?

One is ahead by a week (probably closer to four or five days) simply because it ripened up faster. They were all autoflowers planted at the same time. I'm really not sure why it went faster. They all look to be the same pheno and I tried to keep light distribution even, but things happen I suppose.

Alien, the non-flushed plant is not going to have anything cut out at all. It will be fed bloom nutes at 800ppm up until harvest.

Even the flushed plants I'll be continuing 2.5ml/gallon calmag. I'm not re-using my coco but I don't want a severe calmag deficiency happening a few days in. (Maybe I should do 1.25ml?)
