This is my firstly grow and I am kinda confused about when to flush. Do you start the flush at the first signs of amber? Should I start flushing her?

I looked at your diarie. You're using organic nutrients There's no need to hard flush. Just on her last week. Just cut it to water. I see you're giving Mol. Id also cut that and let your soil feed the rest of the plant in ripening. No run off as a slow flush (adding jst water, repeat when it dries and keep doing until you see the plant intake of water drop) As for ambers (Signs of ambers are THC degrading, but in saying that) the peak of THC in your plant is when trichomes have clouded up. So, its kinda of a give and take. So, 90-95% cloudy with no more than 20% ambers. Doing a CBD strain you want as much amber as you can get as it builds cbd. If I were you, do a 101 on harvest windows. Depending on your likes, type of strain (hybrid, indica you'd lean to push more cloudy, sativa you'd leave more clear for a more cerebral high Look pal. It can take up to 3-4 crops to get the underlying result correct to your liken. Also, amber % can define how harsh your bud can be against the throat. Looking at your pic she's nearly there. Start feeding water and let the ripen process finish up by eating what's left in the pot.

@shenelly78 , Excellent Question 👌, Honestly, it's your first grow, a few months was mines too. I noticed that this thing called "flushing", is not necessary, and it is quite expensive to do. Plus it comes with alot of downsides if not done correctly. You could ruin your entire harvest 😬

Don't flush yet. Wait until a week before harvest. Your weeks away from ripe if your diary is up to date. All those white pistils will have receded into fat calyx and turned brown by then. Those trichomes are what you want to look at. Not the sugar on the leaves. Looks very healthy.. There will be no white pistils and wait until there are almost zero clear trichomes, mostly cloudy and 10% amber. There is not proven science behind flushing at the end either. So long as you haven't over fed the plant causing a stall in the maturing process you can go either way. It doesn't happen in nature either. That being what it is, I push my plants nutes wize and 2 week before harvest I hand feed microbes and ro water, then flush strait ro the last week. To use up the expensive nutrients remaining in the media..

Very good picture. 👌 You make it easy to answer. 😍 The trichomes has just started turning amber and your plant is kinda ready for harvest. Harvesting now would give you a more fresh kinda high, while waiting til more trichomes has turned amber will give you a more relaxing couch high. Good luck with her 👽
