Flushing super soils?

Listen carefully....

At end of life Cannabis slows down taking nutrients from it's root zone as it takes too much energy not to mention it's the wrong kind of nutrients that the plant wants. The nutrients the plants want are what has been converted in the leaf to potassium. Which is why the leaves will start to yellow and die at the end of flowering as the plants leach all the nitrogen, that was transported from the roots to the leaf, converting it to potassium and transporting it to the bud.

So if you flush all that potassium out of the leaf, the buds have nothing left to feed on and will reflect such by producing smaller yields.

Plant nutrient formulas reflect this by using high nitrogen at vegetative growth and then high potassium and lower nitrogen at flowering. Just because leaves are yellow doesn't mean they aren't doing their jobs of using light energy to convert nutrients into the stuff they need to grow. It just means that the yellow leaves are doing their jobs at a much reduced rate. (Think I read that it's like only reduced by 35%, somewhere not sure where I read that, so don't quote me.)
I always assumed the yellow leaves wouldnt photosynthesize anymore. And defoled them. Usually give them some time in place first. Thanks will let die from now on.

Where would a chemical smell be coming from if I'm growing in happy frog and coco Loco 50/50 and using big bloom at the end?
