    No, not really, but plants don't really need too much at the end..I mean you can give them stuff, but they won't really use it...so may as well save your nutes...
    I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!

    i feed with 50% Super tea (strong, personal mix) 50% water mix all the way untill harvest.

    the plants taste better, have more trich's, get me higher..... and if your doing it right there are no salts anyways...

    i always flush no matter what. i know they say it will be fine just go low on nutes at the end. maybe for smoking it's not so noticeable, but when using a high quality vape, it's very easy to notice just the slightest chemical taste, even with organics.

    i dont think there are any salts in what i use. i make a tea with handful of ancient forest or ewc in paint strainer, a 2tbls per gallon maxicrop liquid fish, 2 tbls per gallon guano(1tbls indonesian 1tbls jamacian)
    natures nectar K 1/2 tbls per gallon. a little molasses and tap water that has been dechlorinated and aerated.

    The reason why i ask is because all my girls are growing great, they are at 56 days and im gonna let them go to 63 days. i think they will still extremly benefit from more nutes but i dont want my final product to taste bad harsh in anyway.

    Do you think i can feed that stuff listed above till harvest?

    With organic growing you add the organic matter in your nutrient solution, and then the bacteria in the soil breaks it down and feeds the plants. So even if you stop adding nutes at the end i wouldn't be surprised if there is still organic matter in your soil being broken down and fed to your plants by the bacteria. I mean im pulling this info out of my ass but thats how I understand organic growing so... would it really make much of a difference to the plants anyways if you stop feeding the last week? I will prolly stop just to save my nutes

    Bingo. hit the nail on the head there buddy.

    Then you know it well

    The nitrogen and Phosphorous cycle are driven by bacteria. to "Flush" organic soil you would have to kill the bacteria, which would have to use salts or chemicals which are bad for the Buds, so its a catch 22. your best bet is to let it be, and keep the bacteria going. the bacteria will continue to break down nutes (regardless of feeding) as long as the nutrients are there to be broken down. so in the end, its almost impossible to "flush" organic mediums
