Hi there! I personally would not touch the lower leafs at this point anymore. The last defoliation is noramlly done after week 3 of flowering and after that nothing else. If you still feel like there is leafs that are causing humidity problems or reducing air circulation too much, you can remove some of them but don't go too hogwild at this point anymore 'cos she needs the energy to grow big buds!

You want the majority to be milky white (max THC), I cut them when about 10% turn amber. You look to have a lot of clear still, but since a portion is cloudy now watch them closely each day. It's about time.

Once the calyxes swell, you have a week before harvest time, that is the time for flush. That been said, I don't flush, just feed plain water at the last week Thricomes mature at different times.

My opinion flushing agents are just a waste of money all you really need to do is some distilled water or pH water. if all you've been using is your tap water and everything seems to be fine Id just use the tap water. The idea is just to flush the nutrients out of the soil as long as you accomplish that you're fine. Happy growing my friend! 🤟😜

Hey, That image is pretty accurate, you can guide yourself but that. As for how long it takes, any where from 5-14 days... really depends on a couple of factors. It's definitely worth the wait, you'll have richer smelling and tasting buds. Also a bit more weight and density. When you start seeing cloudy trichomes, if used nutrients then you'll need to start flushing those last two weeks. She's looking great! Good luck and Happy Growing!😃🌱🌿🌲

24 hours IMO is all you'll really need. 48 just seems excessive to me but some people swear by both.. My suggestion is do one with 24, do another with 48 and compare what you think and feel and let us know! 👊
