I thought that was the point.
well, it stands to reason that the bud-tissue cannot be changed quickly - read: washed out of nutrients - otherwise the rain outside would just deplete all plants of nutes as well.

I'm just not seeing the point of fertilizing for the last days or weeks when argueably 0 of these nutes will make it into the tissue.

Have you ever seen farmers fertilizing their crop fields 1-2 weeks before harvest? does that make sense to waste one owns resources. for nothing...

i dont know where it goes but at the end my girl drank 2L a day of 600ppm nutrients it goes somewhere.even when i flushed ppm would rise after a day soo it was leaking out,maybe its good to do 1 day at least dont know

Figure 3. Mineral content of Cannabis flower of plants flushed for 14 , 10 , 7 , or 0 days. (a) Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content of Cannabis flower. (b) Calcium, magnesium, and sulfur content of Cannabis flower. (c) Micronutrient content of Cannabis flower. it goes from 2 to 1 to 1 to 1 concentration. i know phosporous likes burning maybe thats the reason for ash different colors it will give high temperatures

Does your ash turn nice and white after you flush too? Mine does

yeah, and comparing now to outside in nature there plants do generally get less access to nutrition in autumn with the onset of colder temperature. they are somewhat used to it and can compensate by the storage in the leaves & sap, even breaking down of vegetative material in support of generative

Trolls exist for the love of trolling. Didn't you say this was a trolling post from the jump?
The thing is even if the article is 100 percent fact I don’t see a reason to not flush. In fact the article leans towards you should be flushing because that’s the only benefit is saving nutrients which in a big grow can save a lot of money.
