"I can taste different things in food that people wouldnt even know are there. So this is no different than when i smoke some ganja."
So first you said that there is no difference, but above you said there is a difference? You don't taste food with your super taste buds? No need to resort to name calling, I am just pointing out my opinion just like you were. So if you flush and get a nice smooth smoke with white ash, and I accomplish the same thing without flushing how can you say what I am doing is wrong? If there are indeed labratory tests proving this then I would love to see them, please provide a link. I am more inclined to do what works best for me through personal experience of over 15 years of growing versus someone who just started growing a year ago. I am not afraid to try new things, and I was what you could say "set in my ways", i put my flushed bud up against my unflushed bud and guess what? I can't tell the difference, neither can anyone else, smooth smoke, white ash. I am an asthmatic, if there was shit in my buds I would know... You wanna flush then I am fine with that. I guarantee you I could replicate the effects that everyone associates with not flushing by doing a quick dry with an improper cure, in fact I have had some god awful buds back in the day, darkest ash you have ever seen, tasted horrible, sparkled like a damn sparkler, with a 3 week flush but improper dry and curing phase.
