For sure, you starved her.

I only use the water to flush as I thought a 2-5ppm would be best to flush. Why never water with it?
Starved hey I can up her nutes as my soil is a little hot so I was being careful not to burn.
Other that that good time to flower?

The pure water strips the roots of their ions making cation exchange difficult.
Soil nutrients begin to become exhausted after 6 - 8 weeks so feeding them becomes necessary. Make sure to feed them according to the phase of life. In flower you want less nitrogen. pH will be important when feeding your plant. 6.5 is a good # for soil.
When to flower is all up to you and how big you want the plant to get. Expect that it will double or even triple in size after you flip to 12/12. All depends on genetics.

So even with the slight starvation I can flower as I planned to? I'll avoid distilled water from here out. Is the damage reversible? As for gens she white widow.

You can use distilled h2o but you need to add nutes.
The damage won't repair itself but new growth will look good if the problem is addressed. The plant will stretch and make a lot of new growth after flip and thats what matters. So get some good nutrients going and you will be good to go.

If you are growing in dirt, just forget about flushing. Its pure broscience and bad broscience at that. Ive never flushed and I grow some of the best smelling and tasting bud.... The one time i went to a dispensary i walked out laughing my ass off at their quality....

myth. flushing doesn't rinse anything out of your plant, in fact recent studies showed increased zinc on flushed plants. Its a total myth, bro science. Don't do it.

I'm not disputing you I'm a child of science my self but I have seen everyone talk about how important it is to flush. Can it really be snake oil if so many people say it's a must?

After a 5 minute look I could not find any hard science either way. Its mostly all speculation. Some swear by it others seem to say it does nothing to the end product the best I could find was a loose looking copy paste of a study done on apple's that suggested it helps the taste to "flush" the study just said to stop giving fertilizer once the fruit begins to develop.
