True, no salt build up (or minimal salts at least) but I still flush organics.
What you are doing by that is eliminating reserves within the plant, and that can improve the taste and flavor ... assuming all other stages were done properly.
Some can taste a difference, some cant.
I'm one who can, so I flush organics.
Hey, HashMaster, thanks for dropping by the thread...most of the good action is harvested out already but these last two should be some nice variety to go with what's here.
I do appreciate your input on the whole flushing thing, I know it's a big debate with growers, and even where growers are debating that properly flushed chem buds taste no different from organic buds, and so on, etc.
I can only speak from personal growing experience, which is not vast in my case. I'm super pleased though with the quality and flavor I've achieved this round. It's a great improvement over last year, which was grown chemstyle.
I want to simply report what I do, and hope to arrive at a method, eventually, where I know the correct soil strength and such where the results will be good and easy for me, or other growers out there, to repeat with sucess, minimal effort, and tolerance of mistakes LOL , that's my goal.
Like you say, a flush can--if nothing else --help draw out nutrients from the plant before harvest. Whether or not it is "necessary" depends on everything done previously as you say. I'm encouraged that you agree, and I know others here that think the same. Yet there are others that feel it doesn't matter to them so I guess that's fine too. Our experiences are all different. I don't wish to host any debate about technique though in general, although this year's run has really been convincing to me regarding the organic way, for many reasons, taste and simplicity among others.
Anyway, thanks again one and all for your interest.
