too much calmag and nitrogen

When its a week before harvest, but i would advise you to not flush, flushing only starves the plant in the last phase of flowering wich is when the buds fatten up the most, so if you want to sacrifice some yield for a "better smoke" go ahead but the evidence that flushing actually alters the smoking experience is merely anecdotal (no hard facts) and honestly i tried flushed and non flushed and they taste and hit exactly the same, only difference was the non flushed yielded more.

In reality it comes down to genetics if you are growing the strain that is hybrid or more sativa then your flowers will be puffy no matter what but if you are growing a Indica strain with hard rock flowers then the other factors will help make them be better. like humidity like nutrient, pH, proper gardening techniques but genetics is where you want to start with. I hope this tip helps you out in the quest of having better flowers.

ph is a lot, in veg you really dont see it, when your in flower and your ph was off during veg you will get low yields, the plant does not do what it should to at 100%, now imagine if your ph was off the whole grow, you would get maybe 45% less of a harvest from the plant, when you dial in ph from the start you avoid problems like deficiencies , ph also helps the uptake of the nutrients in to the plant cells that the plant needs, now you get low ph you get all kinds of funky stuff happing. with tap water you want to let it sit for 24hrs to get rid of the chlorine that they put in the water, tapwater is sometimes real high like 8 or higher, you can use lemon juice to lower that, you can also pick up ph up and down, or you can use nutrients that are ph- balanced , imagine that you are on a diet of good stuff how do you think your body will react? now imagine you are on a poor diet of nothing but sweets and junk food, almost the same with ph
