Chrysmatic I ran your 'theory' past Fatman and he came back with this>
Organic fertilizers (fish fertilizer, manure) applied foliar usually give the best flavor, but that is due to residual on the plants surface not due to plant uptake. Sulfur is generally never in shortage so it usually is ignored as far as flavor. It is evident when sulfur is defficient because it cause a general yellow of all foliage, especially new foliage. Phosphorus imparts a chemical burming bite, magneisum and potash cause a sweet taste. High nitrogen means a chlorophly taste will usually predominate. Consider which nutrients are most mobile within the plant, Nitrogen and Phosphorus. They are what is lowered by flushing. The flushing diminishes the bite, dark ash and green taste. Calcium is not mobile and magnesium and potash are not highly mobile.
