I started to flower all my plants early dec. 5th. I havent flushed any of them since before the 5th. My question is should I give them all a good flush and resume what I have been doing? Thanks alot!

Not sure if I read this right, but why did you flush before flowering? Flushing should be done the last week (7 days) of flowering.

Flowering takes about 8 weeks with most plants, and it sounds like your only on your 3rd week. I would continue the nutes up to the last week of flowering. Flushing should be done the last week (7 days) of flowering. But I take it one step further, I use Twilight which enhances the flavor.

I would think it is fine as long as you are feeding flowering nutes, started at 1/4-1/2 the recommended strength.

not bad.. yet.... not necessary
Depending on the type of nutes you use for flowering.

When you flush your plants your are removing nutes from the plants and soil. The plants durring veg. has a much lower ppm in nutes, then you flush leaving no nutes, then you introduce new nutes at a much higher level. This can burn your plants and root system. Takes several days for a plant to recover from this. I would take caution and start flowering nutes at a lower dose for the first 3 days just to help the plants get used to the higher nute levels. This is just my opinion from years of experience with different nutes.
