Chop day came, ladies and gents. She gave all she had to give, and I forgot to water her last night so she got totally ragged overnight. Such is life. She's roughly cleaned up and hangin upside down, in the dark now. Twas a fun one! Will post dried nug shots and final numbers when that time comes.

Chopped my neglected plant last week. Talked shit about this pig from about the day after I choose her and I paid for the negativity. Got right at 2.5 ounces. Havent sampled yet. Smells hazy. I let this girl get away from me and its disappointing. Fucked up her feed regularly and just kind of ignored her. Not the best effort.

I've been acting like I'm on cruise control recently. Got cocky like I was all dialed in and didn't pay much attention to her. The Canna Gods let me know I'm just a douche bag with a light real quickly on this one. Lesson learned.

I think I’m ready for the flush on my Lift Ticket. She is getting heavy and stinky! She smells like a lemon pine sol with a hint of candy.
She’s at day 55 and her breeder says harvest time is 63 days (give or take a few). Is a week too short of a flush time? She’s in soil.

I never flush to finish in any medium so I'd say a week is plenty of time lol

I’ve been reading a lot of websites just to get a general idea of flushing and did see a few things about not flushing. Just curious @Gentlemancorpse, how do you finish? Do you just let the medium dry up or just feed right to the bitter end?
I did have a really heavy bud Fall and crimp it’s branch, so I pulled that and am letting it hang dry. I guess, inadvertently I will be testing between flush and no flush!

Flushing is probably the single most contested practice in all of cannabis growing. FWIW, no commercial vegetable growers flush their product.
They feed through and through, and there is no negative impact on the produce. The plant will only uptake what the plant feels it needs at a given stage in life. The science simply says that flushing starves the plant of nutrients it might want at that given moment, thereby potentially having a negative impact on final product quality. If it's late flower, the plant's done with excess N, so it's not going to uptake it. What may happen if you try to force it is you lock out availability of other nutrients -- nothing more, nothing less. You can't force it to eat something it doesn't want.
That being said, you'll find cats all over that say they can tell the difference. That unflushed weed burns to a black/mixed ash versus white ash. That unflushed weed causes headaches or other issues. That unflushed weed tastes bad versus flushed weed.
My contention is there are mobile and non-mobile nutrients in the plant. Mobile nutrients move throughout the plant and never get locked in the cells. Non-mobile are uptaken by the cells and forever locked in -- no amount of flushing will purge those molecules from the plant's structure.
Now, that being said, if a bud burns to anything other than white ash, that indicates a few possibilities.
1: the drying/curing process was botched somehow. This is the most likely cause ime. Headaches/bad flavor/poor burn/etc all lead to this.
2: the grower fed too heavily on non-mobile nutrients earlier in the plants life. This is likely a result of the PK boost formulas that are now being proven to be ineffective, and frankly a waste of money.
3: the plant's genetics simply produce that kind of burn, with more carbon-dense characteristics.
For sake of avoiding an all out brawl over this very touchy topic, I'll leave it up to you to make your own determination. I choose to believe people that feed countries over hippies growing in a spare room and smoking entirely too much pot. Just saying, in the most respectful and non-derogatory way possible.

I feed right to the bitter end... like @coste says the flushing discussion can get heated so I usually tell people to do whatever makes them happy, but there's no scientific evidence whatsoever that suggests you can remove nutrients from a plant just by pouring water over their roots... I emailed AN once about their flushing products and they claimed to have evidence they would send me... but I'm still waiting lol
Ive done some side by side tests as well and no one could tell if a plant was flushed or not... even my super crunchy friends who swear they can taste unflushed weed...
But in the long run there's also nothing to suggest flushing for a week will hurt anything so if a grower likes the results they get more power too them, I would just rather make sure I'm not missing out on any growth or trich production myself

She's a happy girl! Looks like getting ready to start for a beautiful fade. You could take a tester nug and still qualify, I'd think
depending how loosely the rules are interpreted lol
