Yeah, you've a ways to go yet. As for flushing tell my smoke alarm that. I've great alarms, they go off in, they been and everything with toxic air (co2) Any bud I don't flush grown with synthetic nutrients (have heavy metals/salts) needs putting out. No, i don't flush flush but I do feed with just water for a wk r so before harvest. And no alarms go off when I smoke my blunts. Well unless I pure smoke out the room. I do agree a flush is not needed. As you v should allow your v plant to naturally finish up its feed. As such a quick turn around from food to 0 puts a massive stress on your plant. So, the wk before you harvest (which you've just coming into ripening so you've anywhere from 10-21 days depending on the pheno. Good luck

Flushing is not necessary (this has been disproven by several studies). THC peak is when all the trichomes are milky. However, it's not always desirable, as the effect is primarily influenced by terpenes and also other cannabinoids, which peak at 40-60% amber trichomes, so you need to experiment a bit. I would always let them go for 2 weeks longer than you think when the right harvest time has come. Before harvesting, 48 hours of darkness to draw out the carbohydrates from the buds, thus getting a better taste later and significantly reducing the chlorophyll content. I can recommend dry trimming, but before hanging, make sure to remove all sun leaves. After cutting, you can place them in osmosis water with phosphoric acid to give the plant the chance to finish its metabolic processes without simultaneously providing carbohydrates and other nutrients, so it has to use the chlorophyll from its cells to maintain these processes.
