"Flushing was found to be ineffective in removing any significant amount of nutrient from the bud."
This is from the Abstract of this paper; scroll down past the editor's notes about errors in the study (I don't think the errors affect the conclusions about flushing).

Now, I think most of us flush, to one degree or another. But if you grow in soil or potting soil, "flushing" is going to be an incomplete process. There will always be some nutrients left in the soil at the end of flower. If you do hydro, or imho coco as well, it is possible to get a more complete flush of the substrate. But in any case, I think there are other elements in the process of harvesting and drying/curing that make MUCH more difference in the quality of the final product than flushing does. Drying and curing properly make a huge difference.
