I think flushing does help but the quick 1 week deal don’t do much.
Has to actually have time to do something. You need to strip the soil then the plant takes up nothing nutrient wise from the soil Then it uses its reserves to survive n try to reproduce. It’s another form of low stress actually.
Common sense though says it does work.
If the nutrients are what causes harshness n I’ll flavors. Then why keep filling the plant with nutes ( if it’s days are numbered )
also you can just stop all uptake from the ground other ways but you don’t want to kill the plant doing it.you want it to force the ripening.
On other end strip of soil takes a minute.
I use flushing agent cause I bought a bottle in my beginning. I use full strength n let it sit in the soil for most of a day or a day. They say 6 hrs then rinse. Then I flush til my runoff is clear ( or damn close)
Then I feed nothing but water n molasses for a few days. Then clean water only til chop. I don’t time flush as 2 weeks. I just start the porcess when I see swell slow on buds n know it’ll be soon. Usually I start my flush with the actual flush at about 6-1/2 weeks in 8 week strain. I run clean water til the plant shows me it’s clean. Faded with colors and heightened smell of all things. It will get stupid loud about a week into flush then louder every day. Then it’ll just fade. That’s my chop point. 1-1/2 to 3 weeks water at end. I still check trichs They can change quick in flush.
