Ok, kinda of a poll question. Looks like I am about 2 weeks from harvest based on Seedsman recommendations.
Wondering how long most people like to flush. I am going with the tradition 2 weeks, but am wide open to being educated here.
So how long to flush using just H2O?

How to lollipop?Started lollipopping this week but did not remove all leaves up to the trellis because I was worried amount plant stretch and shock. Should I keep the leaves at the current level (about 2-3” below trellis), or cut it all off? Should I wait until flower or do it in veg if so?5y ago
