Did I flush too early?

Hi, I’m on week 9 of flower or just finished week 8 and may have prematurely done a full flush on my plants and I’m thinking they may not mature at the correct time of 14 more days with light, my main concern is not many brown hairs and no proper magnifier possibly clear thrics

You probably have another 3 weeks or so to go, so yes, keep feeding for another 10 days and reflush once closer to maturity. No need to do anything weird, just resume nutrients as per normal/what you were doing previously. I find a good indication as to when to consider flushing is when there are about 95% brown pistils, then harvest about 10-14 days later when there are about 98-99% brown pistils (or just a very few white pistils remaining, same thing really!) This will put you in the "10-30% amber trichome zone" without even having to look at the trichomes and is dead easy for those new to cannabis to understand. I have been using the "pistil colour method" for over 30 years and find it easy and reliable. Trichome colour has many variables, such as some plants never getting amber trichomes and others having 70% amber after only 4 weeks of flowering, (which is all related to genetics), that I personally believe basing harvest timing solely on trichome colour alone can be misleading at times and somewhat unreliable.

I wouldn't worry about having flushed the plant... sometimes you have to do that in the middle of the grow to get rid of a toxicity or to reset the pH.. If she's not ready, just go back to feeding her and watch her pistils and then her trichs.... Don't go by what the seedbank said was her harvest time - let the plant tell you. And btw, I think flushing is a myth, myself... I don't flush my grows and the folks who smoke the product don't notice anything "wrong" with it... Good luck!

Hey homie, it looks like your buds still have some bulking to do. I don't if it's possible for you to arrange it, but a jewelers loupe would take out all of the guessing and you could take a better decision. Judging only by the appearance, I would wait untill at least 50% of hair are brown or so to start flushing. These buds look nice! Good luck

Also can I just do another week of nutes and then reflush? Or have I dumped out too many nutes for adding more to have any effect? I’m willing to feed her another week then flush again.
