Nature doesnt increase light for the last 2 weeks of flowering, light decreases gradually... im now on a 10.5/13.5 light schedule.
As for flushing... apart from the fact that im using organics, plants absorb nutrients during their whole life cycle, and starving them of food for the last week or 2 only serves as a stress for the plant... why shouldnt it eat for its last 2 weeks? Dont you eat during your plants final days? lol

Stress for the plant is good though right? I was reading that the plant produces buds and thc as some sort of defense mechanism, so when the plant gets stressed, it goes into overdrive and produces even more to protect from the stress, hence why supercropping increases yields massively. Just a thought . If your growing organically then flushing probably isn't as important to you because there won't be any chemically nute taste left behind, because u weren't using any chemicals. But flush is a must if your using chemical nutes

There is huge debate out there on this subject, but the views are like night and day, flushing is either beneficial to your crop, or it isn't, there's no in-between, just like everything else on the subject, I suppose the only way one can truly know is to try it all and see what works for you, every grow is different after all. I grow for personal use, I don't know about you, but I don't like weed that tastes like chemicals, iv smoked it before and its nasty!

You can't flush "chemicals" out of a plant. If you plant tastes like chemicals it's because it was overfed, not because it wasn't flushed.

The idea is not to flush the chemicals out of the plant, but to force the plant to take up any chemicals left in there

The plants only take up what they need.
