For the past many flushes ive done ive been having issues with water uptake. The majority of plants (not all...but most) stop taking up water ENTIRELY after the first flush.

Ive done nothing different:
Ph is on mark
Water is good temp
Its tap water that has been out for 36 hours
And it gets oxygenated for approx 8 hours prior.

They literally take nothing in. After a week i flush again for sakes say then again three four days later. In the past id have them dried right out four days later at max.

Any ideas?
 
The plants may not be taking up water after a flush because the medium is saturated, with most media (what are you using?) likely holding lots of water, enough for likely at least a week, and you redid it at 3-4 days. And with your plants in their last days, why would you want them to be transpiring/using water? Isn't the whole idea of 'flushing' to clear the soluble nutes from the medium and then let the plant starve (use up the nutes in the plant)? Why would you want your post-flush plant to be sucking-up more water/nutes?
