Is flushing ALWAYS necessary during flowering?

I am about 2.5 weeks out from harvesting, and I have not flushed my pot once. The plant is very green, and if it ain't broke dont fix it, but I cant help but think "If I just flush it out, all the salts that built up will be gone, and it will grow even faster/stronger/better!"

What are your thoughts? I used miracle gro fertilizer for a few weeks, but have switched to a Walmart organic fertilizer. I plan to flush it with a week left, but do you think I should do it sooner to help clear out the "junk"?

some with the flash on, some with the flash off.

i think the plant is overheating cause the tape i used to seal the exhaust came off. I restuck it though, so hopefully that cools it down some. plus the heat here is too hot (~85 ambient)

even cheap organic fertilizer is ok until the end? I'm not into buying $20 organic fertilizers. I bought a $6 five pound bag of organic fertilizer. it says "Derived from bone meal, meat meal, poultry meal, and langeinite" with the familiar analysis of nitrogen, phosphate, and potash.

I think I'll fertilizer this friday, and then do a 3-to-1 flush the following friday, then chop it down the friday after that. Would I be cutting off the nutrients too soon with this schedule? I'd rather be on the safer side and not have the buds have hints of fish or poultry...

I use organic fertilizer and although it won't make your buds crackle and it won't be bad for you it WILL impart a taste to your buds that you don't want I strongly suggest you flush for at least a week before harvest.
