The only conflicting information regarding flushing is from those broscience experts without any actual knowledge of plant science saying that you need to flush. The internet is full of that crap science and youtube is full of stoners and their crappy grow videos telling people to flush.

Flush the hell out of your plants and starve them to death. They're you're plants. Do whatever you want.

Flushing is for coco or any soiless grow,you feed to runoff to remove the old nutes every day or two so your always flushing.Or if you've over fed and need to reset.
Feed right up till harvest, no need starving them.

You don't need to flush in coco and for that matter daily runoff is not required either. That has been proven by the many growers myself being one, that use blumats with coco and never have any runoff. The key is low EC feeding. The way some dump so much stuff on their plants they can water to runoff everytime and still have too much stuff in the substrate.

Good for you for asking,its a great hobby.You learn over time not to follow any feed charts and just go by what the plant says.
Learn from mistakes and press on.Everyone here was a newb at one point.

This is true. It's not only noobs or youtube cool dudes. I would still be flushing if I hadn't ran indicas in the same grow as long flowering sativas and decided to just keep feeding the finishing up indicas the same nutes as the sativas.

Very true.

my feeding schedule for DUTCH PRO nutrients does indeed have a flush section.

also at this age my plants should be receiving 1.8EC feeding according to the schedule and they are receiving 0.8EC daily.

Thought so not very good at building stuff but have been thinking of trying really hard because I have not really utilised all my grow space I have bought a net for next one but wish somebody sold them frames I think there's certainly a market for it I would definitely buy one lol

The one thing to note about nutrient companies is that they are selling you flushing products. In the case of the one you mentioned it's called Plant Magic Flush. Buying this stuff benefits them so you can imagine they have some interest in getting you to flush. It earns them money. So you can listen to growers who have no skin in the game or listen to those who profit from you flushing. Your call, good luck. Smart to ask though, gotta give you credit for seeking knowledge on the subject and not just blindly following the advice.

You cut PVC tubes and slide them into elbows. I used self tapping screws to hold the net, but you could use zip or twist ties. It's super simple.
