Personally i give nothing but plain water to the plant for about the last week.

So you give it plain water everyday for last week? Or just a couple times?
I'm new to growing as well, so keep that in mind, but as I understand it, it's highly dependent on your growing medium.
If you're in soil you flush for 1-2 weeks with just water on the same schedule you would have normally watered / fed them. In coco you do it for about a week, same schedule (although you'd have a super hard time overwatering in coco with good drainage), and in hydro you do it for like 2-4 days.
I'd suggest you get more input though, I don't want to be responsible for screwing up your plants, heh.

hello pothead28!
if i feed my plants heavy nutes throughout her flowering stage i tend to flush for 2-3 weeks as sometimes 1 week is just not enough to get rid of the chemical taste away.
i flush 3 times the volume of the pot so a 20L pot id flush 60L then after that i just run 1 week with canna flush or flawless finish then the remaining normal water feedings.
hopes this helps you out.

Sorry i didnt see your post sooner.
But i do a mixture of both i guess.
By the last week the plant isnt drinking nearly what you put into the pot
so i taper back on the nutes when i see the plant starting to finish.
The last week is water only but i dont flush like mentioned above 3 times pot size.
Tho i dont disagree with it.
Its just impractical for my setup
