yeah the eternal debate lol
we are on the same team on this subject rob lol
if you feed perfectly which is very hard in soil , you can get away without flush
but as long as the plant dont yellow, i would give them water

I’d like to add by saying he’s teaching noob growers, that red lining a grow (max Nutes, watering every day, putting the lights 12” from the canopy, etc) when you first start, doesn’t give much room for mistakes. I’ve learned to back off on all of it, increases the chance of a better grow. And really a cost savings since your no longer using so much. “Less is more”... with something a noob is not yet familiar.

so perhaps there were still some nutritient residue in the pots/soil itself so the plants had other sources?As for flushing...

The Flushing Cannabis Myth Exposed Flushing – running water only with no nutrients for the last 10 -14 days of flower – has long been argued to improve the quality of cannabis.medteknutrients.com.au
Then there is supersoil where a grow can be done with watering purewater at all times w/o fertilizers. In such a grow what would the term "flush" mean anyway?

Your plants control what they eat. They are not helpless in nutrient delivery ..they eat when they want...
Plants at the end of their photoperoid dont eat....
flushing is about saving money

not sure plants choose what they eat, especially in hydro
imo if you feed perfect you will never go over 1.5 mS even less so even without flush the nutrient locked in the plant will be in negligible quantities

If this is true then how do you explain nute burn up to the point of being toxic. I've seen plants die from this.
Once mineralic nute is dissolved in water a plant has very little control to not absorb it because the evaporation feed will suck the water-nute mix in.

Apples and oranges, nutrient burn and flushing...
As far as nutrient burn what you are seeing can be many things....
Most often its because the nutrient delivery type is imbalanced.
Plants are efficiency machines...they will always eat what is readily avialable. Nutrients competes for absorption at the root level. If you plant is efficiently absorbing one nutrient it is also ineffciently absorbing another....this is why growers utilize pH swings to make nutients readily available but this does not imply you are feeding the plant...its simply eating whats readily avialable...cutting hairs but it matters
It is your job to make sure it has what it needs. If you are not supplying the right nutrients and or havent properly amended your soil correctly of course, you will see deficiencies and toxicity
Nute burn is an outcome not the source of the issue...

The proper meaning of flush is Leaching. Stoners use word one for like 3 different things. I hate the term and its confusing. But yes Flushing in soil is called Leaching.

well I can agree with this because it reads alot more differentiated and situational than this
