Because the reading I've done says it makes it less harsh, and also not watering for a couple days at the end might cause them to plump up in a last ditch effort to save itself. I haven't read as much on NOT flushing, i guess I need to do more reading! I have defoliated and I feel like that helpsA few weeks at least. Get you a jewelers loupe so you can look at the trichomes. Also, are you referring to only giving your plants plain water for the last couple weeks of flower as flushing? If so, think about this. First it is proven that you cannot flush nutrients out of buds. Second the buds put a lot of weight on in the last couple of weeks. So why would you starve the plants of the nutrients it needs to finish? Food for thought
Thank you!! I think I will leave one plant water only flush till the end as an experiment and the other 3 I will keep feeding, regular bloom nutes? Don't change the strength Im using? I use the general hydroponics trioFlushing (end of life) is old science and your plant will thank you for NOT cutting off it's food for the last week of it's life. If it needs to cut off nutrients, it will. If it needs to steal them from leaves, it will do that as well. So far I have found no negative effects on taste. In fact I believe the only way to max out the harvest weight is to feed til the end. I DO cut off all water for 72 hours before harvest, and I believe that has helped with the final push on trichomes turning amber. Everyone has their way, but some of the best growers here showed me a better way, and it works. No more flushing for me.
Good idea, I'm currently doing a similar comparison grow (did flush the last one of these I grew, not flushing this one) and a great way to know for sure. I use MegaCrop but yes I feed full strength (with supplements) all the way to the end. I haven't used the GH trio in several years but I personally feel like if it's not burning the plant, the plant wants it all. I have overdone the GH flora micro before and definitely sizzled the leaves, but it's pretty evident when it's happening. The best thing I ever did was listen to these growers and take a chance...Thank you!!

Don't feel bad, I flushed my plants for 20 years before I tried something different. It SEEMS to make sense, until you do it without and it turns out just fine if not better!New Research Shows Flushing Plants Before Harvest May Be Unnecessary
In a blind taste test, researchers have found that many prefer cannabis that has not been flushed before harvest.hightimes.com
What a read! Thanks for opening my eyes I'm glad I asked!
