Hmm. I've been on the back seat letting the information roll out on this one.
Hilarious. First the mainstream advice to add nutes to flowering cos they need N and whatever else gets spouted. Then, there is too much N and whatever (cos you put it there) so you got to flush it back out.
RIDICULOUS!
What's it to be, the plant has too much, or too little.
Basically both exercises contribute eutrophication to lakes streams and rivers, feather the nests of fat men with no scruples, and waste the time and resources of many many individuals.
I'm backing spurr's chemistry. It's more complex perhaps but he's got the idea of what's going on in media correct. This is not croneyism we've certainly disagreed before.
This whole flush thing - again people think they can control (increase/slow) organic nutrients uptake by the plant. This is plain wrong. The plants and microbes control this. You can throw ions at them, but why? Nature will make all the ions your plant needs if you build your soil correctly.
The idea of flushing is to get that starved look, which should be natural senescence. flushing for senescence is not natural, it's false advertising.
If you think flushing is so great I'd like you to consider the following: Plants outdoors after a dry season smoke better than plants after lots of rain. Anyone who's had outdoor from a dry season knows this to be true. Obvioulsly the plants have the water to survive, but not being flushed (heavy rains) is advantageous to the grower in terms of quality and preventing issues with rot, pm etc.
Flush, as in toilet.
