@Ask Limpy
I have only ever fed straight up rain water with an organic tea.... a few times throughout the veg and once thru the
budding period so usually the last few weeks are just rain water.
sorta a flush but not really more of just a regular watering schedule....
I have never had any black ashes or any other indicators of fertilizer like a slow burn
I kinda like them going just slightly nitrogen def. so they yellow a little ...using up the stored nitrogen in the fan leaves.....

Then its maybe the heavy metals which of course would slow down the burn....
cause I def have seen plenty of slow burners with a blackish ash...
and I have seen ones that were heavily fertilized that still burned whitish ash...
so color isn't always an indicator but it is related somehow

I try to keep it simple...but I think the tea's are a little acidic because of the compost and bits of wood and granite type sands...
so the alkaline water seems to balance things out okay....
I have had really quite decent results by doing nothing but organic...but I also had a hands up by using the experience of
the collective here at RIU...the organic guru's really know their stuff...

Even over fed plants will still produce white ash...it is bullshit. black ash means the bud is still too moist to burn or something has been sprayed on the bud too close to harvest.

Yet after I flush my buds I csn light a joint taken from a bud that's 4 days off the plant and still very green yet it burns light (very light) grey or white, just my experience, I got blasted already here on RIU just for talking about flushing previously but regardless I have and always will flush. In my opinion there are a lot of variables that can cause black ash but I do know for a fact black ash exists and not only in wet weed, I've had black ash burning weed from perfectly dry to finger crumble dry weed. I've been very dissapointed in the past to see these incredibly beautiful nugs given to me only to find you couldn't keep a joint light with a fucking blow toarch...never my own but from others. Bong folk won't notice black ash or dark grey ash as often as joint folks.

Flushing is for times when things have been "OVER DONE".............. read about it. Most times will see this process screw things up even more depending on the stage.
...that covers just about every person who grows... :)
If you give a plant what it needs, it uses that.
If you think that feeding a plant a full nute regimen all the way to the end is part of this deal???....think again!
It's that simple really.

That maybe true if running organic teas. But if you use synthetic food must be flush. Unless you like the taste of chemicals
