How important is it to flush before harvest?

[ChopBro]

I'm growing in a Tower Garden it has 20 openings. started 17 from bag seed , 7 male so out they came, still have 10 but in various stages of flower. I've got 2 ready to cut. this is 1st. grow so I didn't know anything when I started so I had no clue what the process was now I'm not sure how to move forward. I know there are 2 different strains one is taller & slower then the other and is just now starting to flower like crazy and it is from the better of the 2 strains so ..... if I cut the 2 that are ready now with out a flush ?????? Sorry I do not have a camera other then the crappy one on phone, took some pictures, but not very good so I won't bother posting them. Has any one cut plants without flushing & how did it turn out

Thanks in advance, ChopBro

It makes it taste bad and harsh when you smoke it, but if its vaporized is much more forgiving.

Thanks for the fast response. I don't have a vaporizer so look like I'll be doing some coughing.... now I know as for the tower goes to keep all the same

Yes it did effect taste just a little, but over all it was not too bad .... we removed them from the tower garden & just put them in some water for two or three days .... live & learn

I have done this before and both ways work but will still cause minimal set back to the still blooming ladies
ether flush the whole system for a week
or
if a plant in a system of 2 or more plants where roots tangle together: pull the net basket they in and cut roots from basket and place the lady in her own flush bucket for a week .
if nether of these is an option and you do not own a vape : water cure it. down fall here is major weight lose but an increase in thc to volume ratio ( same high burning less product) and little to no flavor or smell, "stealth weed"

curing will help reduce that cough factor, it's never to late to cure,

uncured bud keeps chlorophyl in the bud, that will taste green & u will

post some pics of your nuggets!!! and to
