and when there are already enough nutes in the soil/plant. then it can use these. no need to waste resources.
doesn't differentiate between ammonia & nitrate, and is therefore imprecise on N, as it can be in the pot in anionic, cationic or nonionic form

Ok my bad I should have asked that first, my bottle says 5ml to 5 gallons but it is
an older bottle I bought a few years ago, I grow in soil and have never had to break
the seal on it yet... Good luck man

My sources on The Joke
High Times Mag did a test study with RX Green Technologies and published a big article on Flushing at end of flower
look it up... Here's another one, https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/flushing-is-a-bad-practice-based-on-flawed-science.64789/
and another one, https://www.rollitup.org/t/the-truth-about-flushing.409622/ and one more I'm gonna stop at this one https://support.ilovegrowingmarijuana.com/t/to-flush-or-not-to-flush/6432 and
will leave any further article's out there for who ever wants to have a look.

But how would different forms of N compete with N when K is in abundance?
In my personal experience bloom nutes don’t contain enough N for our plants. Which is why I mix in grow whenever I see yellowing on the lower leaves.

I normally worry when sugar leaves rotate 90°.... That's the early sign of bud rot.... Always choses the biggest nug in the room too 
I used to grow "water bottles" of grape ape.... Then I would spot one twisted leaf..... Open the nug, and it's brown/purple fuzz
the reddish leaves look fine, looks like molybdenum deficiency or cold nights to me. My box gets to 60f at night, and all my fan leaves are reddish/purple like yours. Done several harvests on my schedule and the red leaves have been fine.
I am a bit worried about some of those twisted sugar leaves..... That does kinda look like early bud rot. I would keep an eye on the exact spots where the sugar leaves start rotating..... The one with the red leaves. Though all of my plants look like that, minus the three blades I see twisted....
If that is COLD STRESS, then bud rot would make sense. It could be a weird condensation issue etc.

You are spending too much time worrying about bull. You grown out doors for years but don't know what normal is in your grow. Take a walk outside and clear the mind..,

Yep that’s one I like and posted above along with the other 3 but people are creatures of habit and most do not like change...

Sorry, I just seen you posted it. I believe it's pretty conclusive. They find almost no benefit to flushing.

Yep and if you pull up the others to see it is not good for your girls in flower but to each their own I fed up to the day I harvest and always get some killer smoke...

I fed to harvest also. Seems like you'd be robbing them of essential nutes, right when there wanting them the most, right at the end.

Well if you want to get real simple, out side growing in the ground they never flush. Lol

That's what I'm always saying, how does nature flush? Lol

Potassium is generally found in flowering fertilizers or additives used during the bud fattening phase. An excess of this nutrient can cause nitrogen, calcium or magnesium deficiencies.

Flushing at the end of flower to get 'Tastier buds' is a completely different beast than flushing because you've been over feeding and have salt build up making your plant sick because it's over and under nuted at the same time

wrong. do a search here for a recent study. flushing is for toilets.

But that is what we are talking about during flowering,,, at that point flushing will not give you taster buds, or any of the misconstrued things we’ve always been told it does none of that... But you are right when it comes to PH lock out or too much units then flushing will help reduce the damage if caught soon enough in that case...
