pH when flushing?

My plants have been blooming for 54 days now and i thought of starting the flush.

I was googling something about flush when i read posts from some guys who said "dont ph the water u flush with".. i thought the explanation made sense.

After I did it i read posts that pH is still important during the flush. Of course, why would u want to throw of the pH and stress the plants in the end?

.. now i'm confused and was hoping for some clarification from u guys. Also, what should i do next time i water, maybe the last before the chop. pH it or leave it as is, since thats what i did last time?


addl info:

Medium is soil, nutes are Bio Nutes from Canna and Plagron. Tap water here is around 8.0pH. good enough to drink... all i know. i watered the plants 6.1 - 6.3 the entire grow, runoff was 6.5-6.7 most of the time.

unfortunately i dont have ro water.

you said that leaves shouldnt get crispy? well some of mine do get crispy and eventually wilt... what does that mean?

The buds on top feel rather dry than sticky as well..

My experience has told me that for at least the strains I grow, these plants can tolerate the range from pH 6 to pH 8 fairly well.

I use a mix of distilled water and tap water which usually ends up at about pH 7.0-pH 7.5, as a result I don't do any adjustments when I flush or just am watering without nutes. If my water was outside of the 6-8 range for some reason I would try to adjust it.

As an FYI, my nutes are not pH balanced (Earth Juice), so I end up adjusting my feeding solutions to about 6.0-6.5. The one grow I didnt do this my plants were not happy at all.
