Do I flush a plant before flowering?

Hi all. I’m about to flip my first indoor plants to flower and have been reading up on flushing the plants before flower or before harvest. There is a big debate regarding whether to flush a plant at all. Please can anyone help with some advice

Welcome to the community ! Personally if my runoff numbers look good I don’t flush till the end. I know some nutes required flashes along the way. Depending on what product you’re using. Also your soil can play a role. Hope that helps good luck.

Welcome to ILGM forum. I don’t specifically flush. I will go water only for the last couple of weeks before anticipated harvest.

Welcome to the forum
To flush or not to flush…that is the question
How do they look? Any deficiencies going on?
What grow medium are they in?
What are you using for nutrients?
Sometimes a flush is needed during veg if there are issues.
Before harvest flushing is recommended when using man made chemical nutrients to “flush” out the build up of salts and stuff that will help the final product be less harsh etc.
If growing using natural nutrients with a living soil most don’t flush as there isn’t any of those salts etc built up.

Thank you for the warm welcome! I think the plants are happy, the do not show any signs otherwise. They are in premium classic soil and I use EHG micro, grow and bloom, molasses, liquid gold live organism for the soil, fire juice and
Kelpak for the roots
