whats the purpose of the flush?if you're flushing to eliminate salt buildup from nutes or to correct a problem with the plant no i'm not "fucken joking" - 3x the pot capacity is the proper procedure.

flushing before harvest just means you stop watering with nutes and use water only for a few weeks to clean out the chemicals.

ph should be the same as it has been as long as you don't have any problems. the neccessity of flushing preharvest is a controversial topic. there are some very experienced growers here that say if your buds are dried and cured properly there is no need to flush.

well like i said you should water for 1 - 2 weeks with just water and molasses. how long have you been flowering? got any pics? how close to harvest are you? have you looked at the trichs? and you're theory is correct you don't want to water just before you harvest because the plant will have alot of extra water weight to shed during drying.
