There is reason for flushing. Warehouse growers may not agree but point is in that case quantity over quality. Period. The man growing in his shed is going to care more about the product. Grab anything from a dispensary shelf you can tell. There’s a lot of things these larger scale ops don’t give a chit about. And all their lab tested true this n that is their labs. No proof anything on the label is true.just word. Most cases it’s not. Large ops do things like not flushing and even knocking trichs off buds to make concentrates then selling the buds too. All beat down.
Diffence between having a house dog and kennel of dogs Just picture that
Just to try to straighten out the misinformation here. Giving water only the last two weeks is what most growers are actually calling flushing for harvest. They hope to yellow the plant some. It is also labeled fading.
Flushing as you are saying is called leaching and this is done to wash out excess salts immediately. Not let the plant use up the nutrients in the soil over time that have built up. It is an emergency procedure when the plant is overfed and burning.
All that said. Your plant was hungry and I would have fed tapering off to a low dose. Best results in my experience are from a medium green plant at harvest. I will fertilize right up to the end if I have to to keep my plant healthy and producing until harvest.
We have done blind taste tests with patients and the dispensary I used to supply has confirmed with lab tests for potency. The faded plant has less flavor and less potency than the properly fed plant. I also ran 3 sets of cuttings 3 times each to test in my own garden about two years ago and reported on RIU 315 lec thread.
O
is this why most med grade is crap. No flush ? definately no time for cure
Output over all
mass production kills quality in almost all cases.
From groceries to cars to people and yup dispensary weed too.

thanks for the advise mate. I usually go for 20 degrees Celsius but a bit lower on rh.. try to hit 50 to 55% rh.. is this too fast?
Yeah that’s 68 degrees f I’d aim at the 55 if you can don’t blow air direct on em.
Different areas will be a little different. Like here one day outside be 100% humidity then be 30% the next day. That does play into things sometimes.
