Sorry bro I don't write or spell very good.. Many props to you for your ability to take pen to paper.. I do mean that...
I'm just a guy who has my AG status for the last 17 years,, I can't give you scientific data. But I can give you common since side of this..
Everybody knows, A scientific study is only as good as the company that pays for it.... I can show studies by scientist that tell you Cigs are not bad for you.. So you get my point.. So the question is who paid for the study that you are link to ?
So I believe If you feed plants (Nuts) or as I call them (Steroids) for there whole life, your not going to get them out of the whole plant with a 2 week flush.. regardless of some scientific study. What you put into the plant becomes part of the plant. This includes the Buds. Like I said its what I believe, after living in a agricultural community for the last 17 years.. Like I said before here in Colorado in the produce department they have two sections one that has produce that was grown with (steroids) and the other they call (organic) The Organic section of produce you are going to pay at least 25 percent more for.. This is at Safeway.. so see my point..
Now what do you think the difference is in produce they call organic or regular produce ? Plants that are grown with roids grow quick and big no doubt, but its not any better, but it is faster.. Now every Farmer I know with huge commercial operation, will always always use ever drop of water they can use even if its not theres... Ya our water commissioner is busy.. lmao!!
So The OP wants great product, so he should go all natural if its practical. Or go to one of the expert growers on this web sight and follow is program exactly.
In the next 3-5 years you will see a organic section and a regular section at dispensaries,, right now we have organic beef vegetables and fruit why not have true organic weed,, in the next few post a guy makes a great point it doesn't matter to the guy on the street that needs meds,, if it smells good and he gets high he buying that shit... LMAO, Growers should be able to grow how ever they want , That's why were here to try to be better growers...
Scientific research is carried out with stringent rules and regulations.
I'm not saying all research is to be trusted fully but if it's done properly it's certainly ascertained as fact in the scientific community.
I have not linked to pseudo-scientific research.
Organic growers still use nutrients.
Nutrients are the same at the molecular level, a Nitride (Nitrogen ion) is a nitride.
That goes for organic and chemically produced nutrients alike.
Of course there are differences between organic nutrients and chemical nutrients.
But when it comes to nutrient transportation, storage and usage it's the same basic science.
We have organic sections where I live, it's nothing new really, it's been around for 30 years.
My point is that the way a cannabis plant feeds and the way it processes, stores/allocates the nutrients is the same across the board.
Attaining an abundance of nutrients in the calyxes is near impossible, since the roots, leaves and stem(s) would shrivel and die before you would get those levels.
Now of course different species use and allocate nutrients in different ways, depending on climate, the age of the plant and most predominately; depending on the season.
Nutrients like Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium are used up almost immediately to promote growth.
Mainly sugars are stored (produce by photosynthesis). They are stored in the roots.
An abundance (over-feeding) and/or a deficiency (under-feeding) is detrimental to any plant.
Keeping a critical level of nutrients in the solution regardless of method (soil, hydro, aero) is key to promote optimal growth.
