Personalmente he probado hacer un flush al final de floración y no hacerlo, y me gusta mas el sabor cuando hago el flush que solo regando con ppm muy bajas. Opino que debes experimentar, y luego hacer lo que mas te guste. Flush solo agua cuando ya esta empezando a madurar el cogollo! ✋ Buenos humos!👍

starving a plant does no good... do it if you make syou feel happy, sure. it's hard to admit when an entire subculture has been wrong for decades, but this is one of those contexts. one guy even reamed me for suggesting that flushing wasn't useful... and then all sorts of info came out proving there is no basis for all the reasons previously given as to why you should flush... doesn't impact taste based on blind taste tests with one showing a slight preference to the un-flushed buds, BWahahah, but not by a statistically significant amount; still funny.... doesn't impact proportion of mineral content of buds... Doesn't reduce sugars or chlorophyll.... (cell differentiation is involved here... just as your skin doesn't turn to bacon if you eat bacon.. buds aren't for 'storage' or phtosynthesize... they are for sexual reproduction.) (any green surface will technically have photosynthesis taking place, but it's much reduced compared to photons hitting the top of a leaf...) So, all it really does is hurt your yield. I will sometimes not bother to mix up ferts the last week, but it isn't because i lie to myself... i'm simply lazy and i know wthe leaves and what nutes remain in substrate can (less optimally) fuel any growth during that short period of time... any loss is negligible as long as the canopy isn't near death before the end. if you are not a heavy feeder, i'd suggest continueing doing what you are doing... of course, you still react to plant... if it's too lush or showing signs of toxicity, you dial back like always. Maybe, you figure it's got 2-3 days and you just don't feel like mixing fertilizer... all good, you won't notice a difference, but the bottom line is the plant got less than it could have used, so there is "some" loss, but probably not anything a human can notice without tools providing better resolution. a flush reduces ppm in substarte / leeches out nutes.. it's a useful tool when you encounter an imbalance or similar issue so massive you cannot effectively fix it on-the-go with a little extra runoff using an adjusted formula. But, don't use this technique without cause.
