:hippy:
I think ya got that backwards. It's not about directly diluting the nutes that are in the palnt. You aren't giving it a blood (water) transfusion. You want to flush the salts and nutes from the soil so the plant uses up her nutes that are stored within the plant. Sorta corrects late-stage ph imbalances, too.

I really don't know if this is true, but could be. If so...is a couple of days growth worth more than a sweeter, smoother product with lower levels of nutrients? I flush a couple/few times during veg and bloom, including a final flush about a week from harvest.

Adding mollassas this late ,will likely do nothing noticeable. I start adding 1/2 of a 'glop' of Grandma's upon entry into the flower room. (microdosing) Be careful, can change the ph balance, and cause nute lock-out if used too liberally.
