I'm confused about the 'flushing'. Are your plants in pots?. Outdoor plants don't often need flushing to finish. Flushing usually means flooding with 3x the volume of the bucket or grow bag with water to wash away accumulated mineral salts or to remedy an overdose of something.
Flushing may not be the right word. Two weeks before harvest I stop all fertilizing and give only water. It is my hope to remove any salts, fertilizer etc. I hope I am doing right. I will continue to cover and hope for the best. Thank you for comments.
