Obviously everyone has their own opinion for flushing or not... And even using or not using a bloom formula in bloom I guess. Just don't overfeed. That's most important to me. It's been touched on and said multiple times, but these things all become much less of an issue if you aren't allowing stored nutrients to build up.
I agree with you xxxstr8edgexxx, 7g is too much. Sure, it works just fine if you watch for overfeeding. Even pushing it in the end for some good stress might work well. And, of course flushing at the end. But, the GH recommended 3.75g works much better for me. Any signs of problems, I supplement with what's needed when or if it's needed. Maxibloom makes a great base which you can tailor any way you want, for any stage you want, with individual salts very easily. But I digress. 100 - 150 ppm max of nitrogen is all you need in most situations, in my opinion.
With low levels of fertilizer, a couple days flush with some cane molasses, or no flush at all is REALLY hard to pick out as not flushed. I'd even venture to say, no flush done properly... would be guessed wrong. My main problem with flushing for weeks is that potassium can be used up in a couple days. You're then running the remainder of the time without the element responsible for quality. What other crops are flushed for weeks before harvest? Anyone doing brix tests on your plants throughout flower and flush?
Again, this is all my opinion and did begin to stray away from K.I.S.S. with the supplement talk, but low ppm's is really what I prefer and like. Maxigro all the way should definitely use low ppms!
