I have always fed plain water for the last week of the plants life mainly because I'm in 10 gallon pots and the plants will not starve in that short of a time period, although I have had other growers recommend a "2 week flush" or "20 day flush" and always thought that was stupid, because it is.
Looks like RX Green Technologies has scientifically proven flushing is all bro science.
CONCLUSION
In a first of its kind study, Rx Green Technologies evaluated the effects of flushing period on yield, potency, terpenes, mineral content, and taste characteristics of Cannabis flower. Overall, the length of the flushing period did not impact yield, potency, terpenes, or taste characteristics of Cannabis flower. Taste test results indicated a trend toward improved flavor and smoke quality with the zero-day flush. While there were no significant differences in nutrient content, there was a trend toward increased iron and zinc in flower flushed for 14 days. The results of this trial indicate that there is no benefit to flushing Cannabis flower for improved taste or consumer experience.
