I was just wondering. If I was doing bubbleponics (not top fed). And I wanted to get all the nutrients out of the plant before harvest. Would just giving it 2 weeks of nothing but plain water before harvest. Would that be enough to get all the nutrients out of the plant?

Unless your plants are showing signs of nute burn, I don't see any reason for starving them.

1/2 will probably say to flush, the other 1/2 will call the first 1/2 idiots.

That's what I do. Just feed them less at the end. I've flushed and not flushed and there was no noticeable difference, so I don't flush at the end. I do periodically flush for 24 hours during the grow.

The proper way to flush is not to flush at all, no need.
