Real Fruity Pebbles

Flushing for 48 hours with PH water NO NUTRIENTS. I personally flush due to the basic idea of thinking that the plant would use up the rest, and the residual salt would be removed as the plant would be sitting in PH'd water. I will personally do this no matter what science says lol. Turned lights for grow tent off for the 48 hours to promote trichome growth. Doing this to test it out, unsure if I personally saw more trichome production, but nonetheless looked very frosty to me. LMK in the comments what you think about 48 darkness if it really is necessary.
