Ready for flushing or can I feed until the last day?

This lady is at day 65 (70 from seed), and since I have a very tight schedule due to upcoming holidays, I'm wondering if she's ready to start flushing (say 12 days of flushing, 2 days of dark, and harvest at day 80)? Also, I'm using Biobizz nutes: do they even need to be flushed?

Hey OT_Hawk, To me it looks like your plant could stand to grow some more. like another 2-3 weeks. But if you need to harvest because of the schedule, do what you have to do. I would try and get a look at your trichomes to indicate where it stands in terms of age, "cloudy, clear, amber" I tend to harvest my autos around 13 weeks, but every strain is different. I'm not a believer of flushing, but I do stop my feeding a week or two out from when I plan to harvest, gives it a chance to use up all the left over feed in the medium, I also do the two full days of darkness if it's in a tent, but if it's outdoors I dry it upside down in a dark room "whole plant" and trim after, I remove all the bigger and smaller fan leaves though, leave all the baby sugar leaves.

If your plant does not appear to be flush ready, you can flush it anyway. This will force the ripening process. Also, if you really want to know when to flush, you need prior grows of the same strain in the same place, and conditions. So, you always make your best guess. But yes, you can start flushing and get good end product.

Well done your first grow she looks nice I would flush all plants anyway because it allows the plant to feast on its on sugars and vitals it needs to produce the best medication. nice job
