I feed all the way to the end. Last few weeks I reduce to around 200ish ppm. I use megacrop or my own built supersoil which I just top dress with more SS. Never seen flushing in botany there is no such thing as flushing.
This was something lucky Luke posted yesterday which is more evidence that it bs.

I have and will feed to the end, with a tapering of nutrients without a dead stop.
My opinion is that flushing has possibilities for limited use in hydro setups, and is pointless in soil, due to bound organic particles. I don’t believe in withholding essential substances the plant uses when it’s making calyxes, cannibinoids and terpenes.
Hydro nutrients and commercial interests often lead to excess salt buildup around roots near the end of flowering. Flushing can obviously remove these water soluable salts. The effect from that happening however, may not verifiably help your flowers quality. More research in this field is required.
Drying and curing procedure play a huge part in the final product, and can make an amazing grow taste unpleasant if botched. Average or low quality grows however, can be maximized with excellent and consistent curing.

I also feed until the end agree with what is said above
I flush my medium once a week and feed all the way through...… the best thing I started doing is flushing once a week

Do not flush unless you're bored with healthy plants.
I feed decreasing bloom feeds to the end but water and molasses only the last week. There's more than enough retained nutes in the medium if you fed regularly.

If your growing hydro yhen i would say yes. I only grow hydro and staryed flushing this last year and with a good dry and cure the smoke is extremely smooth compared to what i was getting. Also keeping your nutrients to maximum 1200ppms is a good thing
