Blasphemy, Pitch forks and torches assembling., not.
Since I've been here I have read two other opinions. One is semantics. "Change the term to cleaning instead of flush".The other, "Why bother. The healthy plant only takes up what it needs and it uses that up."
I only have a small grow. I need to restart as soon after harvest as I can. I flush at the end to weaken the hot soil for the next seedling. Then I empty and clean the pot, chop up the ball removing what roots are left, refill with a hole for the transplanted sprout and it's jiffy mix medium.
If the flush has a side effect on the plants cure? I can't tell. But it can't hurt.
:pass:

Yes, thats a great function for flushing. I only flush my root zone when I change a reservoir from veg to bloom nutes, or if there is some kind of lockout problem. I often forget many of you grow in soil!

And look at buds after they are harvested. Still nice and green, meaning all that "stuff" you think you flushed..........you didn't! Unless you "flush" until the plant is completely dead, you've flushed nothing anyway, that healthy bud is still full of everything you thought you got rid of.

And you are right, science proves final flush is a myth. Of course I've been told that science is wrong is because " I can tell it works"............ uh huh..

ya, I was just considering doing a flush as I am almost ready to harvest, I was hoping someone would chime in with the whole "tastes better" with a flush thing. My partner wants me to flush, I say it's a waste of time and energy. My side is winning :)

flush does nothing ... execpt force your plant to use up all existing nutrients... it still makes sense because no need to use nutrients the last week, when plant already is "feed" ... saves a bit of buck

So again, this is the distinction between dirt and hydro. Flushing in hydro is more involved than just switching to plain water in your watering can. It requires getting large volumes of water Ph'd, Temp'd, and dealing with the old stuff. I don't want to flush anything but the hydrotron when the plant is pulled out.
