its just personal opinion (opinion of an eejit) i think the dry/cure is more important than a flush....(((i think its the dry/cure/bud rh% that dictates if a joint has a white or black ash.after all a B&H has white ash and we all know how many chemicals are used in tobacco))
we are home growers using as close to organic as we can.we dont pump plants full of nutes/boosters/additives/or sprays for bugs that we dont have,like a commercial grow op would.
if an outdoor in the ground grower cannot possibly flush a plant,are we worrying to much over the flush ? which is a very debateable therory (pop22 has a long long thread on flushing) i have had to emmergency harvest a plant because i couldnt get the door shut on the cupboard.it didnt have any nasty taste/smells.
my normal practice is 2 or 3 plain waterings,just the same amount as id feed.( a flush is 3X the pot volumne) and then let the pot dry out for 3 or so days......may aswell start the drying process before its cut down
thats the theory and practice behind it according to me
i could be miles away though as im more stoner than grower.
then theres the 48 hours darkness theory ? old wives tale
you are at the point thats very hard to go wrong now
good luck n keep er lit
