First, what do you consider a flush? just water? or passing several times the container in water? two different things.
Also all depends what you are feeding them,, yes its in soil but that doesn't mean your not giving them synthetic nutes... Any synthetic petrol/salt based nutes need to be flushed (flushed as in flooding out the medium)
Now, flooding out soil that has been given nothing but organic nutes/soil based food IS POINTLESS! You cant flush out the majority (like 99%) of the nutrients in soil. Like D said, you would be left with a ball of roots lol.
I do slow down on my teas towards the end, but Iv taken sample buds at the point of HEAVIEST tea use and the smoke was fantastic, white ash.

I My current Medium: 1 gallon smart pots, a little over 4 months on the entire cycle..
1/2 parts FF ocean forest
1/4 perlite
1/4 worm castings
Ive been giving my ladies recommended feedings with the following food from technaflora RFS kit:
BC Boost
BC Bloom
Magical
Awesome Blossom
Sugar Daddy
this was my first nute pack i ever picked up
I was also gifted some Adnvaced nutes Connoisseur A and B, been splashing them with a bit of that as well.
so i beeen using a lottttt of chemicals :[[[
thankfully, i am almost out, so i will need to stock up again, not sure what i will be getting, but something new and different..
SO, im pretty sure most the available food im my medium has been devoured.. And now they seem to taske food well when i add nutes.. when i water, not much seems to happen, they just keep kicking, but the feeds seem to boost them up , even still.. ...
MY definition of "flush " in my soil means regular watering for the final feedings, no nutes..
i never flush with multiple repeated rinses of my soil at one time.. ( only if i feel i have applied too much feed)
!! finally noticed some lower fan leaves starting to die off, i lovee when this happens, they die so elegantly :] and snap of with ease..
from the info i am gathering from you(s), I feel like i should continue on with my feeding schedule, and when it comes time to for last watering, i will flush (rinse out medium a few times over)..
thanks guys!
i really want to stray away from all these bottles, really looking forward to brewing my own tea..
i go through about 10-15 gallons of water a week.. I believe you guys have posted many tea recipes up here, working my way to the organic side, thanks again!
This is the SLH I'm going to run. I gave me about 4oz from a 4 cola plant. Had minimal side branching, very little popcorn, and just looks awesome. I cut at 9 weeks. It started turning purple too. I don't really care about purp, but ya know...
I trim all big fans,hang for around 10-12 days,trim sugar leaf(smells good),put them nugs in the CV
i let them sit for 2 weeks befor I even open the lid,at this point,the smells are on point,with the genetics...for the most part.i pull a tester nug out,and blast it
....its ready to my likeing. the nugs in the jar,with no %pack, are still good,just a lot more dry,and the tric seem to be more brittle,and the smell is not as up front(you have to bust into the nugs,to get a smell). them plants looking good jig.
