Shall I flush now

[Emilya Green]

Basically. I call It flushing, Instead of just watering.
Same thing, only difference Is one Is done In soil, the other In Hydro.

running plain water through a water based system does indeed clean it out, and flushes it of all leftover nutes and salts. Giving plain water to a soil based system in normal amounts, does not clean out the soil, it simply waters the plants. The ONLY way to flush the salts and leftover nutes out of soil, is to use enough water to first dissolve the salts and then physically move them out of the soil with the excess water, and it has always been recommended that a 3x the container sized flush of water is what is needed.

If you have been following a nutrient line that recommends it at periodical times by all means buy their product to do that flush. I think you've got it straight now and check trics on both sides of the leafs/edit cut pieces of the leafs on the flowers. Cut a piece off so its easier to see them away from the plant and in regular lighting. Nice looking flowers, congrats GG

Is there a danger that completely soaking the soil like that will keep the roots "drowned" for too long?

P.S. I notice that water retention in soil varies a lot. I have plants that were started side by side in the same soil where one retains most of the water (bucket gets super heavy) while for the other the water just flow trough (bucket never gets very heavy).

No more than a proper watering of just water would do... do you not water to runoff every time you water? Your plant should be able to use all of the water you can get the soil to hold, in just a few days. Its not about whether the soil can hold a lot of water, because it can, it is all about how strong your roots are and whether or not they can drain that container. If they can not, it is not the soil's fault for holding too much water, the problem is weak roots.
