Flushing halfway through flowering? ( nutrients afterwards? )

In this green house grow video they say that to maximize the flower production they flush their plants with 60l of water through 65l pots at day 16 day 21 and I think day 35. I was gonna do this in a smaller version of running 20l through 25l pots as I am growing green house seeds king kush is this still productful im in week 6? what I am wondering is would you keep giving nutrients after you do it at day 35 because they harvested on day 49. Here is the link http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xq1msYGAfqU&desktop_uri=/watch?v=xq1msYGAfqU

any help or tips is appreciated

I watched their White Rhino video and noticed that.

I have no experience with this otherwise, and hope that
someone who does chimes in.

I suppose that it might be analogous to letting a plant dry
out between waterings, but regarding nutrients.

Good luck,

Even with F & D hydro I run a flush cycle (<50% nute strength) every ~ 2 weeks during flower

In my DWC buckets I now put the plants in a bucket of bubbling RO water while I dump the old nutes, clean the buckets, and add fresh nutes

This is even more important in soil/less mediums which tend to build up salts. Why?

Most people use way too strong nutes

Plants simply cannot use them and so they build up in the grow medium

Come by my thread to learn about my hybrid HH system

Ya I flushed every 2 weeks or so to get rid of built up salts, but never this heavily. Supposively you water it excessively and then let it dry out for 5 days do the roots get lots of oxygen which in turn " makes the flowers explode "
