no the buds will not smell good or taste the same..bag appeal is gone.
If I knew you personally, I'd make you a monetary bet that if you fed somewhere between 1.0-1.4 EC, that you'd actually get better tasting buds off more productive plants and they'd be more potent. If you fed at more reasonable levels, you also might find that you don't need to correct 7 weeks of overfeeding with a 2 week flush .really...
i feed up2 1600 and 1800 on occasion.... but always flush 2 weeks

Umm... drop a bunch of dust into some water and tell me the E.C. change.the test isn't scientific, because it doesn't account for dusty buds
Question:
How do we know that the ppms we're reading in the water is from nutes, and not other naturally occurring substances in the plant?
And couldn't we use regular water if we tested the ppm beforehand and factored it in?
Anyways, I'll try the experiment.
I can certainly delete the post if you'd like though I think it's quasi-applicable to what we're talking about here. I think a frame-of-reference is important personally and while soaking a gram of kale in water is more applicable to this thread than the juicing of kale, I still think it's a data point.While I appreciate all of these postings.... the real information is locked in the data.
Unless you're blending your bud before taking the readings.... we're not going to run into issues like this.
And yes... you would want your veggies flushed, if you wanted the best nutritional value....
I'd prefer if you made a separate thread on juicing plants and their ppm readings. Please.
Stay Safe!
I posted my 'unflushed' readings a few pages back. I don't overfeed so I don't flush, that's the only reading I can contribute.(edit: It would be wonderful if, at your next harvest, you posted readings taken from your flushed and unflushed plants.Thanks so much!)
How does that work? Do you have a citation for this?And yes... you would want your veggies flushed, if you wanted the best nutritional value....
I never flush. I pump the nutes in at 1600 ppms right up to the day I chop the plants so that I can ring out every single last gram of the good stuff that the plants have to offer
