Again. . .. tapering off TO A PLAIN WATERING FOR DAYS

Actually perhaps you should read my whole post again to absorb what flushing has traditionally been defined as in cannabis growing.

Flushing is not the same as tapering off or feeding just water. Flushing can be damaging to plants. Flushing was always about "removing nutrients from the buds so they burn smooth with white ash". Once people started to learn that wasn't how it worked they started to change the explanation so they didn't look stupid for making those claims. Now they claim it's to "encourage the plant to cannibalize itself to use up the last of the nutrient stores".....but guess where it takes the sugars and carbs it has stored (not NPK nutrients because that's not how it works). It takes that food and sends it to the buds to finish growing.

I'm not sure what argument you are even trying to make, but not understanding the basic differences between these processes doesn't help your argument.

I'm also not trying to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do in their garden, I'm simply trying to help you and others understand the definitions of the process you are talking about. If you don't understand the basic definitions how can you decide what's best for your plants?

Full Flush is the “ nuclear “ option that has been around for ages - overfeed / heavy salt or should better be known as : Leach . Flushing leaches everything out … not only salts but it often screws up the biome that has been built and unbalances it . Thats why it is such an extreme measure . It was the noob failsafe to “ reset “ a medium. It doesn’t affect the plant - it affects the medium.

A feed taper will allow plant to not be overfed during its last weeks ( medium most likely is still charged ).
and a “ water “ only during final weeks is a simple dilution of mediums already charged base.

Two different paths to final finish.

Dyna-Gro has completed the reformulation of Dyna-FLUSH and is now available in 8 and 32 oz. sizes. Dyna-FLUSH is our acclaimed plant nutrient cleansing solution that is designed to draw out all the unused nutrients still available in the growing medium. Dyna-FLUSH is made from a proprietary blend of acidic organic compounds that chemically bond to unused nutrients making them unavailable to the plant. Dyna-FLUSH will also force plants to translocate the remaining nutrients found in leaves to the active growing sites. The results are great taste. Dyna-gro dyna-gro dyna-flush

no no no - look at the MSDS
Its literally fucking water. up to 60% water.

Matter of fact - plain water from the tap would work with out the pricey bottles.

But they're both paths TO FINAL FLUSH, you admit.

And that's my point. A lot of ppl here arguing against themselves.
