Flush or not to flush

This is the beginning of week 9 thinking of Flushing the larger pup. I want to flush for 2 weeks. Open to all suggestion. I know that bud's do continue to swell during flushing so I'm not worried. Just want to time this just right . Which should make a total of 12 weeks.

Far too early..........wait until you have about 95% brown pistils, flush for 2 weeks and harvest when you have 98-99% brown pistils. They look like they will need another 4 weeks or so.......the packet instructions are waaaaaaay optimistic when it comes to timing. "Flushing" really means just stoppng fertilizers for the last two weeks before harvest, not drowning your plants with gallons and gallons of water.

if you have been pushing hard, might be fine to dial back a bit, but flushing at end of harvest probably has a net-negative impact albeit tiny in scale. you'll still have plenty of building blocks stored in a health canopy. it doesn't reduce or cause a different mineral content in buds - fact. Rudimentart blind taste tests show people cannot distinguish between the two. Now, they can make up new reasons to be refuted, lol. it should be a red flag that the reasoning for the behaviour was 100% a figment of their imagination. then, they make up new reasons in similar fashion / same mistakes. the equipment and means existed measure this stuff... yet instead, just say it is so without evidence to back it up, then when refuted,just make up new shit you never said before, lol.
