How exactly do organic and chemical nutrients differ once absorbed by the roots? Is organic Nitrogen not Nitrogen or something? Is organic phosphorous not phosphorous?
Exactly See Below
Organic is great if youre "into" that sort of thing, but it's way overhyped. I find it an inexact, slow delivery system for nutes, some people like it more, but the plant ultimately uptakes and utilises the same elements in the same way regardless of whether it came from shit or from a rock.

Phosphorus(III) compounds
Phosphine (PH[SUB]3[/SUB]) and its organic derivatives (PR[SUB]3[/SUB]) are structural analogues with ammonia (NH[SUB]3[/SUB]) but the angles at phosphorus are closer to 90° for phosphine and its organic derivatives. It is an ill-smelling, toxic compound. Phosphine is produced by hydrolysis of
calcium phosphide, Ca[SUB]3[/SUB]P[SUB]2[/SUB]. Unlike ammonia, phosphine is oxidised by air. Phosphine is also far less basic than ammonia.
All four symmetrical trihalides are well known: gaseous
PF[SUB]3[/SUB], the yellowish liquids
PCl[SUB]3[/SUB] and
PBr[SUB]3[/SUB], and the solid
PI[SUB]3[/SUB]. These materials are moisture sensitive, hydrolysing to give phosphorus acid. The trichloride, a common reagent, is produced by chlorination of white phosphorus:
P[SUB]4[/SUB] + 6 Cl[SUB]2[/SUB] → 4 PCl[SUB]3[/SUB] The trifluoride is produced by from the trichloride by halide exchange. PF[SUB]3[/SUB] is toxic because it binds to
haemoglobin.
Phosphorus(III) oxide, P[SUB]4[/SUB]O[SUB]6[/SUB] (also called tetraphosphorus hexoxide) is the anhydride of P(OH)[SUB]3[/SUB], the minor tautomer of phosphorous acid. The structure of P[SUB]4[/SUB]O[SUB]6[/SUB] is like that of P[SUB]4[/SUB]O[SUB]10[/SUB] less the terminal oxide groups.
Mixed oxyhalides and oxyhydrides of phosphorus(III) are almost unknown.
Organophosphorus compounds
Main article:
organophosphorus compounds
Compounds with P-C and P-O-C bonds are often classified as organophosphorus compounds. They are widely used commercially. The PCl[SUB]3[/SUB] serves as a source of P[SUP]3+[/SUP] in routes to organophosphorus(III) compounds. For example it is the precursor to
triphenylphosphine:
PCl[SUB]3[/SUB] + 6 Na + 3 C[SUB]6[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB]Cl → P(C[SUB]6[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB])[SUB]3[/SUB] + 6 NaCl Treatment of phosphorus trihalides with alcohols and
phenols gives phosphites, e.g.
triphenylphosphite:
PCl[SUB]3[/SUB] + 3 C[SUB]6[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB]OH → P(OC[SUB]6[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB])[SUB]3[/SUB] + 3 HCl Similar reactions occur for
phosphorus oxychloride, affording
triphenylphosphate:
OPCl[SUB]3[/SUB] + 3 C[SUB]6[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB]OH → OP(OC[SUB]6[/SUB]H[SUB]5[/SUB])[SUB]3[/SUB] + 3 HCl"
You see what you don't seem to understand is how proteins work. Protein molecular structures that potentially require several precursors to form inside a cell. When you take just any P, you then need to perform several steps to convert it to a molecule that is usable to form plants structures. You end up using more sugar ATP/Ect to do the same task as if it was organic P, which can be hydrolyzed to make P acid to form several compounds of the plant. Organic will leave less bi products as key steps and processes in metabolism is Already DONE!
You're way oversimplifying what I said there man. I said reduce ferts at the end because the plant uses less ferts at the end than it does at peak flower.
And flushing is stupid, just don't overfeed (burn foliage) and dry/cure properly. It'll end up the exact same product.
Let me hit you with a simple one, try quick drying some of your "flushed" weed and smoke it. It'll be exactly the same as the unflushed, cos your smoothness and taste come from slow drying and curing.
Flushing is a means of improving taste of air cured bud. and I whole heartily believe in at-least reduced 10-25% ferts at the end.
