I been pondering this idea for around a week. People consuming hydro grade material always say they can taste the chemicals in the plant and that hydro is always subpar to soil grown organics. Furthermore even "ogranic hydro" seems to show this same trait.
With that in mind, maybe it is the flushing in hydro that tribulates to the fertilizer* taste. In hydro, when you flush, you are scrapping all the fertilizer for water. So maybe when you do that "give it just water" it no longer has the ability to metablolize the rest of the nutrients stored in the plant tissue. One would think that by flushing their soil they are doing the same thing but wouldn't there always be non water soluble minerals, lipids, and aminos left in there soil?
Does anyone have a detailed list of post flush compounds that remain in the soil?
