Apart from taste theres not much else I don't think...having said that, do YOU really wanna be smoking fertilizer? God knows whats in that shit...

Flushing also causes the plant to use up all its stored energy and complete maturity. Obviously that effects taste and harshness. Quite a few ppl use molassas or sweetining agents during the flush to add sweetness to the taste and to helpflush out all the nutrients.
As for tric's and anything else, the plant may produce more in a last ditch effort to reproduce but I dont think you will notice any notable "big" results.

it helps with bigger buds for sure and taste and more thc...the real way to flush is the last 3-4 weeks to make ur plant use all the sugars stored in its leafs..most plants take up to 30days to use all the sugars in their leafs after starting ur flush..a good way to tell ur on the right track is ur leafs will change colors yellow, purple, reddish..that means there using all the sugars in the leafs and focusing on bud growth a thc production>> peace

Well, they say it affects taste if you're talking about flushing at the end.If you're talking about flushing because of nute burn, obviously,it's because it rinses away the buildup of salts in the roots of your plant, which can be toxic to it.

how does burning molasses make the plant sweeter? i know their are many benefits of it, but how does putting molasses in the soil make a sweeter smoke flavor?

Maybe because the plant sucks it up?No idea.I just use it when I water because it's got a lot of micro nutrients in it and is supposed to make the buds more dense.

molasses has hella sugar in it and that makes energy to make bigger thc filled buds.. all the flavor is in the resin glands tho every resin gland has an aroma gland thats were the smell and taste is all at

flushing for 3-4 weeks robs you of the ability to pack on as much weight as you can.
you can do it no prob. lots of ways to do things. you're just not going to get the weight.
and weight is overrated... lol
most SOIL growers of substance (ie the GOOD ONES) flush their soil plants with plain properly PH'd water for 7-14 days for maximum yeild & maximum taste.
in hydro, sans flushing agent, 5-7 days seems to be the norm... WITH flushing agent 2-3 days.
what flushing accomplishes, is by flushing out the remaining nutrients from the medium it forces theplants to look for the nutrients internally. KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU DONT EAT YOUR BODY USES STORED FAT CELLS FOR ENERGY. Not using that stored energy leaves unmetabolized nutrients and minerlas and what not, that when brunt with flame, will make the bud crackle and not burn clean and leave white ash.
Forcing the plants to use up their energy stores provides for a smoother better tasting bud, that burns better.
just some tidbits from what I have learned as a grower from those more experienced than I.

and yes, weeks 5 & 6 are important weeks for building bud mass.
by not providing nutrients to your plants at that time they will not build mass as efficiently, or as much, as they would have if they were properly fed in those 2 weeks.
you're robbing yorself homey why don't YOU TRY IT and do what the big boys do
not what the wanna bes do.

it aint no cat fight its a little squid (her) against the big bad shark (me) and its ugly. hehe.
the trichromes will turn whether or not you flush the medium. thats the plants way of telling you its ripe. so you need to time your flush with the time the plant ripens up... so you really have to have a general idea of how long your plant needs to go. And execute your flush accordingly.
does that make sense?
if you are growing a strain that is done in 10 weeks fertilize thru week 8, and then feed plain water until you decide the plant is ready to come down. Checking the trichromes will tell you when its ready.
hope that helps

hey man outdoor can be a whole nother ball game...
when i was working the guerilla outdoor flushing wasn't the most practical thing to do hehe
hope the rain doesnt bring mold
w/ outdoor, ime, environment/weather dictated harvest time more so than actual trich clouds.
good luck
