Lower Nutrients / Flush Before or After check amber trichomes ?

Dont bother flushing. More and more research is showing that flushing isnt benefical and doesnt actually do anything to the quality of the buds or to the nutrient concentration in the buds. One of ghe newest studies even did a taste test and more people prefered the unflushed bud over the flushed buds. https://www.rxgreentechnologies.com/rxgt_trials/flushing-trial/ What seems to be the best option is tapering down your nutes for the last portion if your grow. I typically start tapering down my nutes a little every time i mix them, starting when i think im 2 weeks out from harvest. I usually am feeding a 50% dose by the end of the grow. Doing it this way you save some money and are still providing the plants with enough nutes to do what they need to do. Ive also never had anyone that has tried my weed complain about the quality or tell me they could tell it was unflushed without me explicitly telling them. Flushing is extra detrimental in coco/hydroponics in general because you are completely starving your plant as your grow media contains 0 nutrition. Soil will at least still provide some nutes even after flushing due to the breakdown of organic matter. Good luck and i hope this answer helps you make an informed decision!
