for instance i do not flush in coco or soil coco i use drip clean or a 6 hour run thru with fresh ph water. why as coco and soil buffer a soilless system say ebb or a dwc has no buffer bar the roots and water soil i do not flush at all as i am using nutes once every 2-3 weeks dwc is a constant feed 24/7 7 days a week zero flush in between on a top up ratio i would flush that shit lol

Lol your evidence is is science :). Science very clearly proves that flushing doesn't remove anything from the plant.

I didnt know flushing was ever meant to remove anything from the "plant". That wouldn't make sense at all. Maybe removing things from the soil, but not the plant..

If you are flushing early on in the plants life to correct a mistake of over feeding then that is one thing.

Flushing before harvest serves no benefit. Flushing nutrients from the grow medium has no purpose to a plant that is trying to finish growing and properly maturing.

Go a head a try things both ways, and do what serves you best though. If your confirmation bias is strong enough I'm sure you will keep believing the broscience about flushing.

lol kids using words like science and insults to prove to themselves they gro dank buds
and in reality they dont know anything about agronomy
make me laugh
when you cut your plant with pk salts remaining in your medium you WILL smoke these salts even if the quantity isnt significative
smoke your salts and stay autosatisfied of your poor level

there is nothing wrong by giving pure water for the last days when trichs are ripened
what is wrong is to starve a plant by making it yellow

and no, pk booster dont give bad taste
they give bad taste if theyre misused
they are just salts of potassium and phosphorous, not a magic potion

these salts if theyre not used by the plant at the time of harvest will stay in the buds after drying and nothing even a 6month cure will eliminate them. cure works on chloropylle, converting the green in sugar ..

Here is my take on the whole issue. I have used bloom boosters like KoolBloom. I have also used MPK as a bloom booster as thats the most cost effective. I don't flush before a harvest. I don't cure, I dry and smoke.

People smoke my weed and I ask them what they think and it's amazing is the response. They tell me I did a great job on the flush and cure. I laugh and tell them I didn't do either. They swear I had to but I didn't.

Thats my take on the matter. To each their own. I just believe that starving the plant when it's ripening is a bad idea.

What do you think the pk ions absorbed by the plant are just shit out. Yellow leaves mean mobile nutrients are being moved from old growth to new growth, not leaving the plant. You think every time it rains veg crops are void of nutrients? You could pick plants untouched by human hands burn them to ash and guess what those ashes would be? Calcium,potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, and all the metals they used to grow they don't just disappear.

Here's a legit source about cannabis sativa accumulating toxic amounts of heavy metals without any sign of toxicity. Use your extensive knowledge of agronomy and explain how you would remove said metals and where they go. How are they removed from both the plant material and the soil. According to you having remaining "pk salts" in your medium means you smoke them, now thats some funny shit.

im not sure to understand
the dont disappear, you just allow the plant to finish the nutrients in the medium
if you feed realy right, like in dtw by checking the drain, yes you can harvest without lowering the nutes and "flushing". your buds will be great
but lowering the feeds and pure ph'd water the last week (or two in soil) wont hurt and give a better finished product .. whiter ash and more trichoms for sure
but no fading /yellowing of the plants that's a bullshit i did this in the past and its wrong

You're really misinformed. Plants don't just finish the nutrients life kinda depends on plants having nutritional value. Try having those white ashes tested for content or google what "potash" is and where the term comes from.
