How to properly flush before harvest — or should you?
The great debate: does flushing improve flavor? Some swear by 1-2 weeks of plain water before harvest. Others say studies show no measurable difference. My take: in synthetic nutrients, a light flush (1 week) doesn't hurt and may improve smoothness. In organic/living soil, flushing is unnecessary — the microbes regulate nutrient uptake.

Excellent guide. One thing I'd add: patience is the most important nutrient.

I wish I had this guide when I started. Would have saved me months of trial and error.
