Do You Still Need A Final Flush When Organic?

I am not saying that flushing is what results in a plant coming to end its lifecycle. I am saying that cultivators used it as a tool to get plants to bring itself to the end of its maturity. It does that completely naturally. I am just trying to point out that the idea of removing salt build up that is taking place in the plant through restricting its nutrient uptake is a bit of pseudoscience. Based on the little bit of information I have come across, its pretty pointless.
Ok, I see what you're saying. Either way though, I cannot flush my no till, unless I want to start off my soil with a clean slate.

Simply stop using any inputs 2-3 weeks before harvest, regardless of what they are. Water only. Flushing is needed if your inputs are salt-based which is likely the case if you use any bottled nutrients. If all your inputs were only dry amendments then switching to water only the last few weeks is plenty.

I have been doing organic nutes for years now and I still flush. If you do a side by side comparison the flushed weed tasted and burned better. You have to get out the excess nutes and salts. I mix some carbs with my water and I flush for at least 24 to 48 hours in complete darkness. That will give you resin filled buds and smoother smoke. Hope this helps.
There’s no salts in a true organic grow. No true organic grow you have to flush because just like the plant grow outside do you flush it no. It’s the same thing if you are truly growing organically

I cringed when I saw Caligreen flushing his Afghan Kush grow, had a water hose and literally flushing his organic grow pots till they ran clear. . They looked awesome at the end but I don't think he needed to water hose that pot.

No he didn’t not Lmfao. Never mess with the microbes in the soil let them be it just like outdoors you don’t flush the earth they will naturally stop feeding. When they know it’s time.
