If you quit giving nutes two weeks before harvest and just water with plain pHed water you won't need a flush. I'm assuming you used high quality soil without time-released nutes in saying this.

I would completely agree with Bam on this one. Especially after reading that informative article.

article said:
Preharvest flushing puts the plant(s) under serious stress. The plant has to deal with nutrient deficiencies in a very important part of its cycle. Strong changes in the amount of dissolved substances in the root-zone stress the roots, possibly to the point of direct physical damage to them. Many immobile elements are no more available for further metabolic processes.

that's the reference...says it's bad to cut off nutes at the end. proper cure *should* do the trick, no?

to flush or not to flush?
