Actually yes. Know anything about actual food crops and farming? We consume lettuce and onions and potatoes. Do any of those get flushed?

I know passions run high with this topic….and all that matters is some good bud at the end of the grow. Personally, I’ll start to flush when I decide to smoke my soil…..but not until then.
If I had to flush, I’d make sure my plants were ripe going in and/or there were plenty of green left for reserves. The last thing u want is to start starving a plant just as the buds are getting ripe and swelling up.
I’d be more inclined to let the buds get ripe…meaning no new pistil production and all hairs have turned color and receded….then give water only for the last watering and flush it with as much as you like. Then you could do the 48hr darkness thing if you prefer.
When it comes right down to it, if your buds are ripe, you can run 3 gallons or 30 gallons through it and call it a day…..neither will do much harm or good.

Im usually at sucha loss when to harvest I end up flushing about a week but still provide sugars for the soil to transition everything to the plant while I stare at trichomes like a maniac lol
