I will check it out
Soil in nature is never 'flushed
yeah while that sounds great for infinite wisdom reality is here what we are dong is not "nature"
creating a giant root mass where the word "soil" could be debated as dirt and roots at the time period in question
and BTW I bet you couldn't hyzer flip a beat dx sting ray in a head wind hahaa jk
Cannabis does not just take what it needs from the soil. It is an accumulator plant. It will uptake what we pour in. Thats why it can be overfed and burn itself on too much nutrients. Even lockout its own roots trying to take up too many elements.
There are marijuana plants placed all around chernoble to uptake the radioactive material in the ground.
It works.
None of this is true. Overfeeding and burning is a chemical reaction in the soil, it isn't the plant taking up too many nutrients. Lockout is also a chemical reaction, the nutrients are unavailable to the plant. The problem isn't that the plant is 'taking up too many nutrients'. That is not what lockout is.
It is very clear that you have no clue what you're talking about, so it's probably best to not spread misinfo.

Most of my plants only start to bulk up around the last 3 weeks. I have tried feeding only water for the last 2 weeks for about 3 years. Always thought I had good pot. Until I tried feeding nutrients all the way through and then I new I had good smooth 30 to 50 percent larger buds and no bad taste so I never looked back at feeding water only. Ps I only feed half the recommended dose of nutrients and molasses every 3 rd feedingWhat myth? In about 1989 i met large indoor growers in new jersey and philadelphia. They “flushed” their soil and switched to water only about 3 weeks before harvest.
They explained to me they could “pump” the plants aggresively with nutrients then basically wash out the excess from the soil before the buds ripened and fade the leaves to yellow some.
They said this allowed them to get very high yield but could cure the flowers to taste smoother sooner for faster sale.
This is the original grow book method and the dutch method.
No “myth” about it until the forums I guess.
I have found through my own testing that when fed minimally to the plants actual needs pretty much to the end the results are better.
I dont think those old growers would argue. They were cash cropping for huge money back then.

Fun fact: Heavy metals are essential plant nutrients. Cannabis only 'accumulates' the nutrients it needs.

flushing is always debated.i googles it for days. Everywhere I seen debated. Like you said it’s pretty much a preference thing. I think flushed plants dry n cure better and taste better even straight from the drying rack without a cure. Also I think cold cold water flush speeds the ripening ( for trichs that could use a little push ) and raises the aromas real good at the very end.Why would leaves burn if it was a chemical reaction taking place in the soil? Surely if leaves burn something is occurring in the leaves? Yes? And no you have it wrong. Cannabis is like a Labrador, it will keep eating till it dies if you let it. And yes cannabis is used for phytoremediation because it efficiently removes toxins from soil. https://hightimes.com/news/how-cannabis-cleans-up-nuclear-radiation-and-toxic-soil/
Note According to researchers from Colorado State University, hemp is extremely effective in removing from soils the toxic element cadmium—which is convenient, because cadmium contamination is everywhere. It’s seen in fossil fuels, old-school pesticides and many other byproducts of human civilization.
Cadmium and other heavy metals cannabis uptakes are non essential elements in plant growth. So as you say "it's probably best to not spread misinfo." Anyway I find it funny how the moment flushing comes up a massive debate ensues where misinformation and disinformation is rife.
It's vital to keep up nutrients to the day of harvest to prevent things like bud rot, PM and caterpillar damage. Heavy feeds are long over, but I feed to the week of harvest. You would be surprised how much weight is lost when nutrients are tossed out the last couple weeks.
I grow organic fyi
