Do soiless mixes require flushing during the flowering process? Flush in the last 2 weeks of flowering? My 1st grow is in day 17 of flower process. I am using liquid organic fert.s diluted in water @ 3 Tsp.s of 5-10-5 Age Old Grow per gal. of water and the plants are flowering nicely. Any tips from growers who have prior experience with soiless mixes would be appreciated. Cherrio!

flushing allows the plant to use up stored nutrients, and to release any heavy metals in the root system.

i give my plants plain water (adjust to the proper ph for your media) from week 6 on; in both peat mixes and coco.

i just use plain water last 2 weeks.
'Flushing' or leaching your medium for two weeks at the end of your grow is going to make your plant go seriously deficient at harvest. Is that what you've worked so hard to achieve, a deficient plant at harvest? Read your plant, give it what it needs without going overboard on the plant food. When done correctly, you wont need to flush. Hint: your plant wont feed as much at the end of flower as compared to the beginning.
