Don't flush...if it is over feed --- and it is --- trying to "flush" soil only makes it worse...most organic ferts or partly organic ferts have parts that have to be processed before they can be used, and to be processed they need water, so even when you are watering with plain water you are actually refeeding a soil plant...there is always something for the plant to eat in soil...so don't flush...if you are using coco then flush away, but it would be way way way easier to just water with water until the top and bottom of the plant are a uniform green color...if they continue to yellow, then you are overwatering so chill out with that too...anyway when they plants are a nice green top to at least halfway to the bottom then you can give them some bloom ferts, but lightly...no need to repeat this episode..
Most times what we think is the right dosage for veg is actually too much...in soil I get super kick ass awesome results if I leave a 2 week NO nute window before the lights to 12/12...that way the plant is possibly starting to get nitrogen hungry...so when I switch flowering it doesn't take long at all to show pistils and get started...if the plant later in flower looks like it needs nitrogen, I stop and assess what I am feeding the plant, and what things are in the soil...then I assess the actual symptoms I am seeing to see if they are normal nature scheduled leaf drop --- which is never like a huge deal, but if it is something worse than that...then I look at what I am feeding and the content, as well as what is in the soil mix to begin with, and also what I may have added that might be giving enough nitrogen to finish flowering, because towards the end of the middle of flower, right before the home stretch a lot of people have this happen again..this random overfert with nothing having been increased, and it is because as a plant nears harvest it requires less and less and less, so again sometimes you think it is a deficiency, but if you are feeding the plant anything, or have added a healthy dose of amendments to the soil, then it is probably an overage and not a deficiency...
