Dude, simple observation is useful (along with your intuition).
People say flush plants, but it's not natural. They flush plants, often, because they use like imbalanced and commercial nutrients, soil mixes (always kinda lacking). So they very often use excessive nutrients (usually biased to this or that element)...and then you start seeing that their plants have CLEAR nutrient issues, burn, etc. I mean, it's about the most common thing I see in EVERY diary.
Those plants aren't actually healthy and have biased nutrient buildups, so people religiously, like a cult believe what some guy who uses far too much nutrients and NEEDS to flush says...and like a "virus" (fun fact, what they call viruses can't do what's claimed and aren't contagious, except mentally), it spreads.
If the plant is healthy, progressing nicely, don't change much about what you're doing. Idgaf what people say. But instead of say, flushing, just gradually lower nutrient levels up to harvest, instead. I'd say the same sort of thing about ANY stage of the plant's life, regarding heat, lighting, nutrients, etc. Because big changes, larger differential, means more "volatility", stress.
But yeah, I agree with Elgar in that you likely have/had nitrogen excess, which in turn affects other factors... so in the future, in flower, you might want to lower your nitro inputs.
