nah, flushing is when you dump shit loads of water (usually if you had your plants in 3 gallon pots then you'd flush with about 6 gallons of water), but only when you need to, like over fertilizing.
YOu could start watering with only water 2 weeks before harvest, but i prefer just 1.

Looking good my friend, if it has been 6weeks from switch. Your plants are most likely around week 4-5ish, to ensure you do not chop to early one should not begin counting the "bloom period/days" until after the first week or two of stretch.
keep that in mind when you get close.
Also, about flushing you will hear many people tell you many different things. I say you should experiment with it and come to your own conclusion, I PERSONALLY feed plain water + molasses the last 7-14days.
Where I come from people look down on bud that has not beed flushed regardless if you think it is dank or not lalala I do not want to hear it ppl. So if you do not feel comfortable Dumping 3x the amount of water through your pot, simply feed plain water the last few waterings.

Fungi & Bacteria are what allow your plant to eat the nutes you feed it, sugars feed the bacteria which feed the fungi which feeds your roots. That is a very dumbed down version of the process, I am currently working on compost & compost teas. So I am learning a little.. Its funny, once you Understand how the plant gets fed. It's so simple to understand why you do not need to buy all these bottles of nutes. you can make the best bud technically out of garbage & scrap foods.. along with quality base soils such as roots + ffof and you are good to go.

You put water in the trey to feed your soil plants? will work, just make sure you water from the top once in a while to prevent it getting to dry up there, I am assuming it is to avoid overflowing the trey which would then wet carpet or wood?
