Alright bro, you can flush if you like because it's your plants not mine.

However if those healthy plants we're mine then i would just water them before flip but not flush before flip. Why? They are going to eat a crap load of what you have in there within the first few weeks of flip especially in a scrog!!, all you need to do is water and make sure you've got enough N in there during stretch. By the time you feed again your soil should not even be close to any build-up.

Also, im not sure what your definition of flush is but to me its pouring x3-x5 amount of water through the pot which is severe over-watering and starvation lol. Leaching is fine, just dont starve!

-The goal is to not slow the plant down in any way atleast during early-mid flower.

Whichever you feel is necessary, plants pack on a lot of weight during the stretch phase and it's important to give them enough nutrients, keep using high N fertilizers for three weeks at least into flower and you shouldn't have problems with leaf yellowing during flower

I mean if you're really insisting on a flush, then try nutrient leaching instead. (water with no food instead of flushing) looking at your plants though, flushing will harm them! They are healthy!! They are eating and growing quickly! This is where you want them right before flower and a flush would jack that up.

20160413_114458_HDR.jpg This is what they look like now. Didnt know that hps is way brighter and radiates a lot more heat that mh. Or could it be that the outdoors temp is 35°C. Scorching hot day.. Battling with temps is my major issue due to my climate. See my diy hoods...lol i manage to keep a room temp 77-81°f and under lights 79-86°f. But today when i put d hps globes in if rocketed to 92°f. A few minior adjustments in my vent n circulation controls and was able to bring it down without having to dim d lights.
