When you last water them before harvest. Don't buy into the flush myth and certainly don't buy a flushing solution. You're quite literally pouring money down the drain with that stuff.

But I've read in alot of places that your bud will have a slight chemical taste if you don't flush with a flushing solution..Even the god of growing Jorge Cervantes says this in the cannibis encyclopedia..I was planning on using final flush

Its just bro science, no matter what ol Jorge says - he is NOT all knowing, he simply wrote a popular book.. Real plant science will tell you it just doesn't work that way.

Myself, i feed every time i water, But not how the bottles state or anything like that lol. Less is more with a lot of strains. Personally I don't feed 1-2 weeks before harvest, I do NOT flush. That only makes your plant more susceptible to mold and shit when it's soaking wet after
Oh ok..If i do flush mold shouldn't be a problem for me cause the humidty in my house never gets above 35% plus i have 2 renewable dehumidifiers and 1 electric one..Wanted to make sure i was fully prepared before diving into the cultivation game for my meds

I agree, Jorge is awesome, don't get me wrong. but i Don't believe some of his shit. Nor do real Botonists. He made good money on a good book.

I guess everyone just has to figure out what works best for them then cause alot of customers said they tried using final flush on some plants and just water on the others and all the ones with final flush tasted way better than the ones flushed with just plain water

Yeah man you will be all set, Im just saying you don't HAVE to flush an use all that water for nothing. RH up to 45-50% in flowering is perfectly fine aswell. Just watch your light out RH

I never put any stock in "customer testimonials". I mean, think about it - who is publishing those testimonials? You think they are going to tell you about the ones that didn't see a difference?

A lot of those products just contain sugars to bring out the terpenes more. You can use HI-BRIX during flower and it will do the same thing. Someone can correct me if i am wrong.

Flavor all comes down to the dry an cure. I have smelt cannabis that was like cat piss bad but cured was real good. Same goes for some outdoor looks like shit but knocks you on your ass.
