The purpose of flushing is not to remove excess nutes from the plant. There is no such thing as excess nutes in a plant. If it can't eat it, it won't take it up in the first place.
The purpose is to remove salt buildup that can harm the plants.
Commercial plant foods are strong and if you feed on the schedule the company gives with the product, then you will most likely have to flush. They want you to use it all and buy more. You need maybe a 1/4 of the reccomended amount.
Overfeeding only wastes the food. If the plant is full, it can't eat any more.
When you flush organics, you are killing the soil. You are washing all the bacteria, enzymes and other goodies out. That's why you have to keep feeding them.
Quit flushing and wasting your soil. Water to soak and stop.
