I don't understand why everyone seems to think that you need to flush. If you really know how plants work they don't even absorb the nuts you put in the water. Little microbes use the nuts and turn them into sugar. The plant then absorbs the sugar full of everything they need. when you flush you starve those microbs which in turn starves your plant. I say just cut em down, hang em in a very dark and semi-cool room with fans stirring the air around, but not blowing on your plants and wait a week or so. It'll be dry and taste great.

Even with u being right to an extent that was possibly the most ignorant post of the day. Flush one and don't fluch the other then when ur face sucks in from the taste of bitter nutes and ur left with black ash set it down and hit that flushed bowl. Ur mind will be blown at the difference. If u want a clean tasting and finishing bud YOU MUST FLUSH end of story and to argue otherwise would be a tremendous waste of breath as well as an amazing showing of ignorance. Microbes feed off of the nutes creating sugars and the like for the plant to absorb. It also breaks down insoluable nutrients so the plant can absorb them as well these nutrients build up in the plant mainly the sunleaves and are "stored" for their final push in flower. By cutting nutes and fluching u are taking away their easy access to foos forcing them to push out all their reserves they've stored up in turn giving u not only a cleaner tasting and fully finished plant but one that will give u all it has to offer as compared to a healthy green plant being harvested. Some will argues keeping ur plant green and healthy to the end will produce better results but without the N deficiency the flavor was far from favorable and the extra (healthy) leaf seemed to delay the cure a solid two weeks with that frsh cut grass smell lingering longer than ever so it comes to prefference on that part but overall if u want ur efforts to be worthwhile FLUSH!

Dude I've never flushed a day in my life and I have had only compliments on how great my weed tastes. My weed never smells like cut grass and if yours does then you really need to rethink your approach to growing in general. If anything flushing makes your plants starved and weak would you like it if someone took away your food. You wouldn't respond well either and the fact that you call me ignorant makes you a close-minded person that just follows every other silly myth. Next are you going to tell me that using all organic bat shit will make it taste better too. Well it doesn't and your weed taste the way it does because of genetics and the curing process. The longer it hangs the more plant hormones and chemicals are broken down and absorbed by the plant as it hangs until your only left with bud. you dry it to fast and it tastes like shit because of all the chemicals still in the plant whether you flush or not.
 
oh Dr. greenbuds your never gonna win this argument with these silly internet boys, ive personally smoked dr greenbuds and there totally fine oddly at that his weed has no smell ( weird huh ) but hands down beats anything that i see around my neck of the woods and anytime ive shown people his end result they are always like man did ur dude flush alot.. i just giggle inside i know hes a fertilizing machine!
 
I'm getting ready to use general hydro flora series too, does anyone have any experience with these nutes?
