*trichomes on calyxes are what you want to scope for color/cloudiness.... just in case tht wasn't understood when i said ignore triches on leaves.
and screw flushing, sorry for directly contradictingsomeone else. The language that follows is about the subculture that perpetuates myth and not any individual sucked up by it. ... but it's without much of a doubt an urban myth. The historical reasoning given has been proven untrue, then they just mke up new reasons why it's still important to prevent a contussion to their ego of repeating something useless for decades.. but, the original reasons that were repeated like gospel are in fact total nonsense, so why believe the peanut gallery about this yet again?
mineral content of buds is not affected by a flush. blind taste tests cannot distinguish between flushed and unflushed harvests. it's 99.99% likely to be anecdotal nonsense at this point. ego is the only reason to cling to it or make up new excuses why it wasn't actually those reasons 'we' do it it, it's these new reasons i just pulled out of my ass after being proven thoroughly wrong by science and a proper experiment or two, LOL
nah, let's just assume things with no udnerstandingn of a baseline cause we did somethign and hubris leads us to think tht everythign we do is obviously value-added without comparing to anythingelse otherwise we'd be dumb for doing it, LOL it's funny cuase it is dumb, BWAHAHAH
