you don't use flushing solution for plants, its supposedly to clear salts from the medium. I doubt it does anymore than water does. They tested bud after a 2 week flush and the levels of nutrients in the buds did not drop to a significant level. Flushing accomplishes nothing and may even decrease the bud you may get, but more importantly, nothing is removed from the buds, which was the whole point to begin with.
And for a nutrient company to support the research and make the claim is impressive.
Basically plants keep a back up reserve off sugars and starch in the roots and stalks, aswell the plants carry’s it’s there own nutrients in substrate and tissue. There’s a thing called Plants temperature memory.
When winter approaches plants
and phosphates — for recycling. The nutrients are carried back from the leaves into the branches where they're deposited in the bark.
Plant hormones (first auxin, then ethylene) then trigger the leaves, which are now largely stripped of nutrients, to fall off the plant.
So loads are people are correct water alone does nothing as proven, but temperature differences can make a big difference.
So quick over view when temperatures drops plant start using up everything like glucose and starch, and all nutrients and pushed in to the substrate that I think is called excretion,
For example a product like flora Kleen will clean substrate from excess salt build ups, but flora Kleen also claims that it can help the plant too use all its sugars too it’s fruit. But doesn’t mention stripping the plant tissue from nutrients.verdict drop the temperatures significantly and flush the plant with plain water or even a flushing agent too help.
I bet there were loads of people shocked about this test. And fair play. It wold probably just starve the plant. So we have too send the plants signals through temperature.
