Hi, maybe not necessary yet. I'd definitely flush them after you're in flower for 3 weeks or so. I simply use pH balanced water and make sure I get a good run through and discard it. Let the plants dry out for a couple of days and resume regular feeding/watering. This is also effective if you have a nutrient lockout, with the exception you should use a weaker nutrient solution for the first feeding after flush.
