you and @pop22 should have a chat he doesn't flush his plants I haven't flushed my last 3 after a good cure no one whos sampled it can tell the difference have a good old rep slap for the infolooking great. nice to see how light you're feeding and still having success.
a buddy of mine is an agronomist and a farmer (and a weed hobbyist) and he broke down some theory for me - you're proving him right. basically, he claims that there's no real value in feeding more than strictly necessary. a plant can take up as much as its genetics allow, no more, so feeding as light as possible is always the way to go (so you've got tacit approval from a real, large scale farmer). that said, it does mean that flushing at the end might not be the best idea.
apparently, the habit comes from commercial agriculture, where they often feed slightly high to ensure that every plant is adequately fertilized, and then water with fert-less water towards the end because the medium is fertilized enough and there's no need for extra feed. with plants on a good, light feed, you may not even need to flush (and flushing may mean the last week or so of the grow will have the plant underproducing). he claims that the entire flushing to remove chemicals thing is ridiculous (which makes sense - plants don't eat nutrition, they absorb it, there's no digestive system - the molecular breakdown happens in the soil).
something worth looking into and considering before you hit that stage - might mean squeezing out a few extra grams.
