Flushing: Is It Actually Necessary?

Flushing is standard practice in growing, but some recent studies suggest it might not be as critical as once thought.

🚿 Traditional Flushing Theory:

  • Flush 7-14 days before harvest with plain water
  • Removes excess nutrients for a smoother smoke

âš¡ New Research Says:

  • Plants don’t store nutrients the way people think
  • Flavor & smoothness are more about drying & curing
  • Overflushing may actually reduce terpenes

What’s your take on flushing? Have you A/B tested flushed vs. unflushed buds? Let’s debate.
