Who cares about anthocyanins? I guess if you're selling to sucker bets with the hype that purple = potency or smooth taste or whatever....then that's what you do.
Regarding nutrition, you provide the plant with what it needs, which means, that a plant that is not bulking up much aka juvenile stage and later flowering, will need very little nutrition. You must adjust. Learn to read your plants.
If "flushing" (which is more bullshit started by the Dutch back in the 80's to atone for their fertilizer abuse in the first place) works for you, makes ya feel good, then go for it. It has no real world value. The plant is not like a radiator. What it uptakes, stays until used. If pissin' people off (the herd) because you go against some mis-given operational paradigm....so be it.
I'll tell ya what is a "given", the fact that most don't think. They connect stuff that should never be connected. Most times "it" has no relationship or cause/effect to what they want to believe. For example, any of you flushers ever thought that your caustic lung busting weed might be due to the terpenes, cannabanoids, flavanoids makeup in the plant tissue you're smoking? When I grow pot I treat it all the same. Some smokes smooth, some is so caustic you can only take light tokes.
So what do folks do? They follow the herd based on some god given forum script equating taste to nutes because "everyone does it". Every new crop of noobs will walk the same old road....it becomes their comfort zone because they're afraid, apprehensive, stepping off into new territory. If they have 15 years of regular gardening experience, they most likely won't....they know better.
