Only those who don't understand how plant nutrition works

Some people have it in their head, that there's nutrient in their bud.

Possibly..... if they're overfeeding.
I did organic for years - mixed my soil, dry amendments, big ass pots, etc. I get better results, in smaller pots, with soil/salts combo. And the final product still has the soil characteristics I like.

when the plant doesn't take all salts in they can buildup over time and cause osmotic (salt) stress then. so in case of doubt drain these out to replace with an original nutrient solution

This gotta be a BS statement …. Joke or whatever.

This why you should read “ the plant “ over the label or a feed schedule. Majority of fuckups are from nute overuse.

I know it sounds crazy. But I just looked it up and it's kinda interesting.

The thing is that most of the salts in hydro nutes are exactly the same ones that the bacteria and fungi turn organic matter into. AN, ProMix and others make 'Organically Derived' nutrients which just means that their salts are mined from the earth then crushed etc to be made into nutes. Non-Organically Derived are say, limestone reacted with nitric acid to make calcium nitrate like I used to do before just buying some CalMag. Chemically identical to stuff that was mined and generally a lot purer.
I'm growing organically now too but organic pot has much higher levels of contaminants like arsenic, cadmium, lead and others that just happen to be in the soil naturally. If anything hydro pot is the cleaner of the two.
Yeah I don't worry about that.. I amend my soil and just water as I go.. I top dress when it feels about time to top dress them.. It's probably not the most technical nor most documented procedure, but it's worked so far through out the years. I was never into drowning my plants, even when I was flowering indoors.
Well in hydro pot you are not growing in manures so I would think its cleaner lolThe thing is that most of the salts in hydro nutes are exactly the same ones that the bacteria and fungi turn organic matter into.

Edit: It's a joke in case anyone literally takes me serious here.

Free Advice to Noobs ….. Put the CalMag out of your sight .
Most of the recent spat of “ marijuana plant problems “ are from calcium excess / antagonist issues. Compounding a simple plant with a “ muti-part “ regiment of nutes. I mean seriously …. I don’t throw Neptune’s Harvest Asshole to harden off the flowers …. They pull what they want / when they want from the base medium without choking them with fillers.
As far as Color fading ….. its a photo issue. Pretty pics …. Has jack shit to do with flower and profile. The flowers are the fruits.
Had strains with deep purp / black colored fans at end. Color was genetic. Fading leaf is an old hippie thing - the weed back then looked like shit anyways.
I would consider major fading as a “ plant problem “ instead of what you think is natural.

One word.... Reddit.
I'm not an old hippie (we were called heads) but that would be an incorrect statement. Some of us were smoking sinse grown by the Coptics in Jamaica and transported to Miami in the 70's and it looked as good as most buds do today, just not as resiny.
