When i did, it was simply ph'ed water for about a week. Then i stopped altogether and noticed no difference.

My technique is not too 
I grow organic in soil so no need and never should be any need unless you mess up. Yes this statement will cause an arguement so I will finish it by saying this is MY OPINION. Preference thing. Do a side by side experiment and find out for yourself.

My opinion is the same as above, flush if you have to. I only flush with straight water at the very end the last watering if I don't it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. I'm also in soil, when I switch over to dro I will have to try both ways..

No argument from me, I use a mix of fresh coco and my own compost and only water the last couple of days as normal, with rain water I collect. Flushing is important for hydro especially, and like djlifeline say's, if you are doing is correct flushing is for toilets, lol.

hey K5,this is what i do ,i use addvanced nutes pretty much the whole line with a two part base coni a and b,i grow in pro mix,and run my ph at 6.3.when it comes time to flush i use final faze from addvanced nutes.its easy to use and works great.you apply it to your plnts until you get about 10%run off from your plants,empty out the run off and wait 6 hours and do it again,thats it your done now the rest of the week i water with just ph adjusted water,and the other reason i like it is because i can feed them right up to the last three days of flow if i wanted to.hope this helps.

If you pay for AN Connissuer as a base nute then you're not the kinda guy to be giving advice out to people.

If you're growing in a natural soil there's no flushing. Anyone who says otherwise simply doesn't know better. Nutrients are locked up IF the soil is natural and active. If however you are using some sort of soil-like medium and pouring ferts on top that's not soil and who knows what you have going on in that pail so flush away, I guess.

I am not going to argue this point with you as it has been argued on here a thousand times but I read High Times religiously and I have yet to see a reputable breeder that doesnt flush their soil. FACT!!!

Every October I rent a front end loader and a city water truck to flush my guerrilla grows, I'm running out of woods to clear. All kidding aside, you should not have to flush before harvesting unless the medium was either poor to begin with(Miracle-Grow etc)or has been screwed up with additives etc. over time.
it's just how i have done it, i stop feeding acouple weeks before harvest.
I also know someone that grows in hydro and does not flush at all, feeds them till the end, And it is good smoke.

i think the way you should think of flushing is that you know the plant has fed on only clean water for the past week instead of chemical-filled water. Its a great thought people. just like instead of even USING nutes throughout the grow, to go to completely organic or veganic mixes for the purest and most "habitat natural" taste, ya dig?

It's never been proven that flushing does anything. It doesn't matter how many people believe otherwise. It's a feelgood thing. If it makes you feel good, do it.
