Here's how you flush natural pot: You harvest after a dark period while the nutrients are below ground. I harvested at day once and my bud tasted like dirt.. Not the sugary good kind. Like my medium. Fermentation was weak and bud was unsmokable for 4 months til the bacteria inside the bud realized it was supposed to be curing my bud sugars into alcohols, not eating nutes. Curing has nothing to do with quelling chlorophyll when you're organic. Its fermentation.
Here's how you flush synthetics: you cant. Trace amounts are trace amounts.. Youve picked a threshold. Maybe you cant taste 1500 ppm but average people can. Maybe average people can't taste lab chemicals ran at at 500ppm til harvest. But I know plenty of normal assed people who can. The higher your nutes the lower your terps and vice versa. Strip away the natural flavor and you can detect nutes at much lower concentration. You gotta have something to compare to. If you've never smoked natural bud, you don't understand. Curing has nothing to do with fermentation when your synthetic. Its quelling chlorophyll and expiring half life's of bottled inputs.
How many growers vaporize? How many of them vaporizer with autistic life growers (not career, not hobby)?
How many growers can even tell a lemon from a lime? I'd say 1% Just watch how the unflushers talk about weed flavor.. They use generic terms like sweet and earthy. I've never heard a synthetic grower talk about aliens coming down and pissing on some blueberries that a skunk ate and pissed out his ass into a jug of kerosene
Lol. WtfThis is, in its entirety, 100% bullshit. Every damned word. You literally just made it all up. None of this is based on actual, verifiable science. You are a walking confirmation bias.

The microwave!!!You should check out his thread on quick drying weed and how to cure it :cool:
I know this is an old thread but I'm a high school dropout with a need for knowledge. It would make sense to me that the best of both worlds could apply and both sides of the argument make some sense. I would think the ability to control your nutrient makeup is the key. Removing only the mobile nutrients (such as N) at the appropriate time would allow the plant to use up various stored nutrient forms while continuing to supplement immobile nutrients would allow the plant to continue growing healthy while doing so. This would essentially allow the plant to remove the stored sugars/carbs that are claimed to be contributing to poor quality and yet not affect growth rates significantly.
I too feel that the drying/curing would be the most important based on the science I have found but using as much of stored sugars and starches before starting that process would give you a head start on the amount of oxidization needed to break down chlorophyll and possibly speed up the drying/curing process and overall quality of the bud.
Just my thoughts. Anyone care to rip me a new one on this?
Why do you flush? not for smell or or taste?I think the thread is flush or no flush ,not the smell or taste of your weed
You sure about that?Flushing just rids the weed of the nutes taste ,has nothing to do with hay smell
Personally I think the hay smell comes from improper drying meaning drying too quick.This is why I do a dry trim rather than a wet trim and hang the entire plant.The leaves wrap around the bud and ensure a slower drying process.As far as flush or no flush I've done both in soil and for me there's no question,I'll flush from now on.I get a much better flavor,it burns better and leaves a clean white ash.No science needed for me it's just better hands down.I'm also of the belief that you do what works for you.You sure about that?
Can you explain why weed smells like hay and what you mean by rids the weed of nutes taste?
Or do you mean rid the weed of nutes period?
I did a water cure right by the book once.For me it was just a bunch of hogwash.There are ways to rid the plant of Chlorophyll after plant is dead... wanted to correct this. Water curing might be a good last ditch option to save your bud if you fuck up your drying to fast and it smells like hay (lots of chlorophyll left in). Light will degrade chlorophyll but will also increase the breakdown of THC.
Oh and the reason the flush works is the plant is starved from nutrients so it tries to shutdown its ability to photosynthesize as a survival strategy. Thus breaking down chlorophyll.
Exactly the drying temp/humidity and time allow for the chlorophyll to be broken down through oxidization. If this is done to fast your left with chlorophyll leaving a hay smell and bad taste. Flushing is more than likely beneficial to everyone unless they can get all of the chlorophyll out in the drying time and i find it very unlikely. The curing is the fermentation of sugars and that's what improves the taste over time a small amount of oxidization occurs during curing but not enough to rely on nor fix buds that smell like hay. Thats why I was saying doing a water cure would be an option but that has its own drawbacks.Personally I think the hay smell comes from improper drying meaning drying too quick.This is why I do a dry trim rather than a wet trim and hang the entire plant.The leaves wrap around the bud and ensure a slower drying process.As far as flush or no flush I've done both in soil and for me there's no question,I'll flush from now on.I get a much better flavor,it burns better and leaves a clean white ash.No science needed for me it's just better hands down.I'm also of the belief that you do what works for you.
Yeah it rids the bud of chlorophyll so it should get rid of the hay smell taste but also will lower overall THC and wipe out most of the smell taste period. Good and bad.I did a water cure right by the book once.For me it was just a bunch of hogwash.
