Nutrients don't move into the plant until they are broken down into a ION, of which I posted the explanation of an ION, so when people make stupid statements about nutrients changing the taste, i want them to know that it is not nutrients that causes that, After photosynthesis takes place and changes the ions into glucose that then go to the rest of the plant, it is the glucose that moves up and down and through out.
the fruit does not store nutrients, so How can it taste like nutrients?
You do realize no living creature does anything with 100% efficiency?I mean seriously, tell me any fruit in the world that tastes like nutrients/salts when over fed? I say it all the time, burn some sugar, then burn some salt, then quit making stupid statements.
If too much of an element is taken in, it does affect taste noticeably. Most store bought fruit is nasty. I'm 25% Polynesian, and I can eat a bag of oranges a day. It is overfed, and artificially ripened.
It may not be in the same form compound, but the elements that make the molecules that make up the cells are still there unless excreted through some plant process.
You are right on the sugar burning part. But you'll notice if you overdose the nutes (3 plants, 3 brands nutes), the sugars end up tasting different when burnt. And the amount (and sometimes color) of "sparkles" in the bowl varies. Thats the overabundance of an element, commonly misclassified as nutes. Which they are, but aren't, all depending on semantics.
