Does a good flush help

Is it ok to flush your plants now and again. I mean take it in to the bathtub and give it a good flush. And kinda start again.

I have a plant that is about 4 weeks left til expected harvest but it just looks like it could do with a good flush.
Cant do any harm right? im not gonna drown or shock it in a major way am i ?
I mean, flush the plant to try rid of maybe a salt buildup etc, not like a harvest flush.

Im using bio bizz all mix and have been feeding plant magic plus.

Thanks.

I flush every time I water, so no problem, if not using my method (make it rain) you should flush at least once a month to remove excess salts from the medium

veg=nute water nute water
flower= nute water water nute
I've given nutes every watering and didn't have a problem. Just my 2 cents
You want to take a bottle and poke holes in the cap. Drops of water like you'd use for outdoor flowers will prevent root damge. Dumping a ton of water on to it isnt good. Spin your pot when you water

K guys, thanks for the tips.

Ive been feeding with nutes for like 3 times, then just plain water, then back to nutes.

I got my weeks mixed up, my plant has only an estimated 3 weeks to go. If im watering every 4-5 days, thats like only another 4-5 feeds. Then take away the two week flush, that basically means i should only be giving nutes another 2-3 times.
Bit late for a flush yous think ?
Or would it be ok to... give it a bit of a mini flush under the tap tomorrow til i get some good runoff, then feed with nutes as normal, maybe at a lower dose ?
Or just keep goin as i have been with my feeding schedule til next week and start the two week harvest flush.


Thanks.
