You must be speaking of RO water.
My city water contains a shitload of nutes, 800 plus parts to be exact. Have water reports, nitrates, nitrites, phosphates and the like.
The RO I purchase contains less than 25 ppm of some form of salts.

In appreciable amounts plus what shows as ec/ppm isnt always in a plant absorbable form so is not technically a plant nutrient, might feed the micro herd a tiny tiny amount.

800ppm is past Uk safety limits, anything absorbable or that deposits will more than likely kill your health. Too much absorbable magnesium and youll shit loads plus feel it internally. Zinc cobalt nickel and stuff just plain poisonous and nitrates are dangerous in many ways.

I dispute you have much nutrient value in most tap water but plenty of bound unabsorbable salts.

Nothing suprises me in lead pipe uranium enriched America but uk nutrient value can cause micro organisms and painfull long term illness, mostly we get our salts in bound carbonate forms.

look guys... flushing is indeed important. here a little physics for understanding...
1.with flushing you don't remove nutrients wich are bonded by the plant matter.... but the plant is hydrated and this water (plant sap) contains available nutrients... if you would dry the buds, the water would evaporate but those nutes wouldn't and would be left back in your dry buds.

2. the plants aren't beeing starved during flush... they even still got some nutes in the soil... if coco or hydro thist part is skipped... after there aren't any available nutes the plant starts to consume the it's own leaves... and this is the best indicator for a successful flush...

i even would have said this is the period of the whole grow with the fastest budgrowth
