Since you're using all organics, you really don't have anything to flush away outside of some excess salts. Unlike with chemical nutes, you aren't going to have toxic materials building up since you're going all natural.
That said, it never hurts to cut back on your nutes at the end of your flowering cycle if you're concerned about things getting too nutrient-full or if your outdoor soil has proven to be too difficult to manage. I know that some growers believe in flushing in this way or by simply giving the plants water and nothing else toward the end of flowering.
Here's some advice I've used in the past: at the peak of blooming you use around 1ml of grow and 3ml of bloom per liter of water. At about the end of week 6 change to some thing like 2 ml grow and 2 ml bloom then 2 ml grow 1 ml bloom then to the end 2 ml grow.
This will help maintain the plant health until you're ready to harvest.
Hope this helps you out!
