I don't flush, IMO, based on science flushing is a total waste of time. I want my plants to die from it being their time, and dying at peak ripness, not after starving to death for however long! And thats all your doing by flushing. As you deprive the plant of nutrients, what is its number one priority? Right! The Buds! So it transport all the mobile nutrients it can up the plant. Look close at a "well flushed" plant and what do you notice besides the dying plant? The buds still look healthy at harvest! Your not getting rid of sugars in the bud, they make their own and I'd bet it would take another 10-14 days to kill them.
And there are no "chemicals" that will get into your plant from the nutrients. Roots can only pass specific elemental ions into the plant, and H2O via osmosis. And those mineral ions are identical to the ions made available to plants by microlife in soil.
However, I've had people try to tell me the difference between my organic grows and mineral based nutes. With a proper cure, weed is weed, no one could tell the difference. But that's me and I'm not knocking how anyone else treats their weed. I just believe I end with better weed, taken from healthy plants. You don't "flush" organics, right? Why not, the soil is full of nutrients that are the same thing as what comes from bottled nutes?
NPK is only absorbed by a plant as anions or cations, "salts" of the mineral or element needed.
Here's another myth you may have heard. " Too much Magnesium in your buds makes it spark and burn black. No it doesn't. First, most of the mg has been used to make new compounds the plant needs, and what remains is measured in parts per million (ppm ). I want to see someone light a 90ppm pile of mg on fire... So what does cause all that popping and sparking? dead mites and bugs exploding when the water in them turns to steam! Black ash is caused by sugars. A good cure will fix that. It takes 2-3 weeks for all the sugars to break down.

Ok, thanks. I have looked at this soil in the past and the only thing that stopped me from trying it was my very first posted question.
Didn't mean to hijack your thread but it was a relevant question pertaining to this product and I'm guessing I'm probably not the only one who's wondered about it.
Since I think I can taste a difference in my own grows when given only water just prior to harvest as opposed to being kept on nutes till harvest I guess I will just have to try it for myself and taste the results.
Never heard the magnesium myth before.
Thanks Again
Peace
I you see my tag line. I encourage everyone to question everything!

Btw pop the reason youre Not supposed to flush organics is because it would kill the microbes in the soil, and flush any remaining nutrients out. However if you dont flush, just cut the plant at the crown, and toss the soil into the worm bins with a bit of amendments and wab bam you'll be ready to go in a month or so.

And mine has always been :
"The only stupid question is an unasked question."
But none the less, I still did not intend to take up a whole page on your thread.
