No so imo. There might be nutes in the soil but not available. My volunteer grew great all summer and fall with zero fertilizer or nutes. It survived 118f @ 18%rh with just water. When the temps got below 45-50 they turned yellow and purple- exactly like they do with a flush. I think the cold soil restricts the nute uptake. Some of my indoor plants will never yellow or finish properly without a flush. They will just foxtail forever. Others quit feeding and yellow on their own.There's not a moment in the natural life if cannabis that the ground is depleted of nutes. Naturally there's always nutrients available to the roots. With that said I like to feed just molasses the last week.
Can anyone explain if it is important to flush cannabis or can they be dried without flushing?
For discussion sake... what water source was used to flush? Iron higher with the flush... possibly tap water or wrll water high in Iron? If it's not RO there would be definite nutrient ratio imbalances that may account for the findings?
I prefer to reduce the nutrients to very low levels but still provide a small amount of balanced nutrient.
I also think a large part is how aggressively they have been fed leading up to the flush.
When does the bulking of buds occur? Last 2 weeks right? So let’s starve them right then. It’s like an athlete training for a marathon. What runner would fast for even a week before the race? It works the same way for plants as it does animals.
I don’t. I grew up in agriculture. I always ask people to name another crop that’s starved before it’s harvested.We put so much effort into making sure the plants have no deficiencies all of its life, then at the end we starve the shit outta it lol

That myth is busted with multiple university studies, here is one of them: CLICK HERE
Even with the evidence showing flushed and non flushed cannabis has the exact same nutrient content, people will still argue for flushing because it washes away excess nutrients from the bud, which is impossible, flushing only affects the rhizosphere. You have to figure it out for yourself because people will always argue both sides til the end of time.
I do agree to taper off nutrients the last 2 weeks because the plant will use up reserves in the leaves and it is a waste to give full strength nutes up until chop.
I went to look at the study and clicked on the guys resume his credentials and it came up 404 error none found lol

Black ash? You don’t dry properly. Period. It’s retained moisture. Not unused nutrients. Plants use it as they take it up.
We don’t smoke tomatoes but we eat them. Zero health issues. Your comparison is kind of irrelevant. Again please name any crop husbanded by man that heads to harvest starved? Please.Properly grown weed actually burns just fine even when it's still a little moist. And some bud can be absolutely dust bowl dry and still not burn properly. The stuff I grew that burned black was dried in highly controlled conditions like always. But sure, the 3 crops out of the last hundred crops that didn't burn well was because those 3 were dried worse than the other 97 crops before it
I also grew up and have a career in agriculture. Name another plant that people grow indoors under high intensity lights fed high volumes of chelated nutrients, then processed and smoked?
ever smoked wild dirt weed?The answer is simple.
Does weed get flushed in the wild?
Does weed get fertilized by humans in the wild? Do you harvest a lot of wild weed? If so let me know how it smokes.The answer is simple.
