oh, and jump back on fertilization schedule... if you wnt to flush, knock yourself out.. .but i would only do so if you think there's a toxicity going on or you put too much of this or that into the substrate.... unless they came up with new reasons to protect their egos, the old reasons have been proven to be bullshit. LOL. so, if the reasons they belieed were why it was better aren't real... how did they come to these conclusions in the first place? tell you all you need to know about the limitations of human senses and anecdotale evidence.

Firstly. There is still way too much nutes left in your soil. Usually on a 2 wk flush you have leafs dropping all over the place. You shouldn't flush soil but really lower the nutes week by week about 6 weeks before harvest, and stop nutes completely 2 weeks before harvest and you'll see the plant crying for nutes, that's when you know your soil is mostly free from nutes. If it's a thing you wanna flush, do so, but soil is soil. The nutes will stay in the soil your only flushing salt build up buddy. DO NOT start back feeding nutes. Your soil is still loaded. If u start again you'll be waiting another 6 weeks before you start to see the leafs crying for nutes. Until then just keep giving distilled PH water. Good luck happy growing.

In soil it is a two week wait when on water. In a hydro application it is a week.

i'd let this go longer before considering harvest. let those pistils change colors, let colas/buds get denser... a 30x magnification currency checker or jewelry loupe will be useful to check color of trichomes. Those are your 3 primary keys for harvest. i wouldn't weight any one too heavily over the others. clear trichomes, despite rhetoric, is not devoid of thc, nor is cloudy peak thc. cloudy is first sign of degradtion. amber is further along in that process... because this stuff grows slowly over time, you are likely to see all 3 or at least all cloudy and some amber by the time it is done. these things will let you pick a relaatiely consistent point per plant... you can decide if you like it early, late or somewhere between 7-8 weeks minimum... some go longer. most are 56-63 days, i'd guess..

I agree with @TheRealHankHill I'm not a flusher, but if it makes you feel better then do it. Products designed for flushing are also a wast of money IMO. Good Luck!

according to science you dont need to flush really it only starves the plant of its water and they say it will taste the same flushed or not but according to growers at least 10 days from what i hear so its really a choice you can make if your trichomes are milky and a bit of them amber shes prolly good too go but its honestly down to preference
