To flush or not to flush that is the question: mark twain verse 2021

It’s easy to try and sweep over my question with a bro science claim but do you have an answer

Why would there be mineral residue in the bud? Do you understand how plants work?It’s easy to try and sweep over my question with a bro science claim but do you have an answer

The irrelevant stuff yes, the real science no.

In the simplest of oversimplified explanations it's because vascular plants have different energy producing organs and reproductive organs. So your nutrients are produced in one system and used in the system we are interested in.
The other reason is it is impossible to remove nutrients from inside a plant. Nutrients cross a semi-permeable membrane once in they can't leach out. You can flush your substrate and remove excess salt build up in the substrate but not the plant.

I don't think I can flush anything out, I'm not aiming to, the idea is to let the plant metabolise the nutrient it has stored.
Think of it like this, if I take cocaine/nutrient tonight it will be out my system in x amount because its being metabolised, if take some then get chopped I can't metabolise it because everything ceases once cut therefore the nutrient that just run up the stem is trapped inside it.

Flushing... another thread eh? Well, all I can tell you is that after many lab tests after every run on every strain, we have not found any detectable metals, or anything else that would indicate that there are "residual" anything in there... and we feed every time without a "water break" from clone to harvest.

Apparently it gets metabolized. We have pretty strict lab guidelines we have to pass before we can put it on the market. It goes through a rigorous process of testing for metals, mycotoxins, mold, botrytis, yeast, solvents, pesticides, etc.. if you fail the threshold, they come and get your shit.. AND you have to pay them to come get it. It gets reported to the State, and you're on record for a failed lab.

Flush, don't flush.. I've tried both, and it doesn't seem to affect anything. ..... but yeah, depending on your scale of operation, you CAN save some nute costs, but shit,... what's another feeding compared to what you've been doing for the past 4-5 months.

I look at it like this... if you know you're going to die on 1/1/2022, would you not still eat?.... IF you were healthy? I see no reason to stand in the way of synthesis. If someone was going to harvest your organs after you die, you'd want them to have a healthy system right?.. It's like you're gonna die, but someone starves you our for a week or 2 before you do.... ok, maybe im a little high.
