    I never flush as I make my own soil and use little if any organic nutes and only if visible deficiencies are present.I would say if your using chem ferts or boosters that yes flushing can only benefit with the removal of these toxins thus making it more favorable to the pallet.

    In organic and chemical farming the input chemicals are generally the same. It's just that the source of chemicals is different. The theory that organic fertilisers contain less or none of the health damaging chemicals present in chemical fertilisers is debatable and depends largely on the kind of fertiliser used. Also, organic fertilisers can be a vector for carrying plant and animal diseases (including CJD the human form of mad cow disease which may be present in blood and bone meal).

    I think it's a good idea to flush plants thoroughly at least one week before harvest no matter what growing technique you use. Having alot of nitrogen in the bud makes your smoke shit and I'm sure it's not healthy. Other elements and compounds I'm not sure about but I personally don't want to smoke them. I think flushing is just as important for organics

    Get your facts right.
    Definition of CHEMICAL-human made or synthetic compounds,or not of natural origin.

    If using organic certified products no chemicals/synthetics are present as is with artificial which are based entirely or mostly of chemicals/synthetics.To say that organic being less harmful is debatable in a world of chemicals and synthetics is ridiculous.Mother nature has been doing it for thousands of years with no detrimental effects to man,its man who has created health risks thru chemicals and synthetics.
