some people say you need to flush heavily for 1-2 weeks before harvest,it may or may not effect anything i yet to notice much of a difference as i flush my plants through out the grow,to help prevent nutrient lockup and cause problems.I normally stop feeding nutes 2 weeks before harvest and water with plain water but i don't drown them either,i just water them the same as always.
