1 tsp/gallon? that seems kind of weak. I use Earth Juice Products. During bloom (plants are in 3 gallon or 5 gallon containers) I would usually do (per/gallon) 1 tbsp of grow, 2 tbsp of bloom, 1/2 tbsp of catalyst. Last feeding feeding (this is two weeks before expected harvest) gets bloom only, than those last two weeks I give water only, or water with 1 tbsp of molasses. Just to be clear, I don't do a flush all at once with large quantities of water as I don't think its healthy, but instead I do what I consider to be a more gradual flush.

definitely flush with clearex or something it will make your smoke that much smoother.
At that feed level you certainly don't have to flush if you don't want to. I have had plants respond beautifully to very VERY low feed levels, so if you're getting great results from that feed program stick with it.
don't be so quick to double the nutes! i run my garden at 1/4 to 1/2 tsp per gallon of maxibloom the whole flowering period, nothing else, and i have some of the fattest buds ive ever gotten before, granted i have some pretty amazing genetics this round but putting unnecessary amounts of fertilizer salt into your soil isn't going to give you a huge increase in harvest, genetics play a much larger part in that. more than likely you will just see salt buildup quicker, a need to flush more often, and constantly suffering from slightly burned leaf tips... your plants will yield the most when you keep them happy and stress free throughout their entire life cycle, by not giving them too much or too little light, ferts, water, etc. in my experience a lush happy green plant with just enough nutrients will always do just as good if not better than a plant loaded to the gills with every kind of bud candy on the market. nothing like squeezing a live bud and having the green leaves break off in your hands because they are so crispy from salt buildup and nutrient lockout...even more fun to smoke, with a sooty black ash and little sparks and pops in the bowl...
