Flush now or keep feeding?

Howdy, im about to enter week 7 of flower (maybe 8? One plant started a bit before I flipped I think from coming inside from outside). Should I stop feeding and flush? Or feed a couple more times before flushing? What would you do? Thanks!

Stop feeding now and give just plain water, in normal amounts and at normal intervals until harvest time.........the plant will "flush" itself naturally once you stop giving fertilizers. There is no need to drown your plants with gallons of water, this does nothing special and can even be harmful.

Hello mate, you consider that when the trichomes becomes milky at 20/30% you sould start to flush but if you can't look the trichomes so you could choiche to flush 2 weeks/10days before the harvest. Good luck and happy harvest!!

I'd not flush but use only water for the remainder of the grow.

nah, flushing does very little for the buds or for the taste.. Thats just a myth(its been proven too!) its more for the soil, when you have used too much nutes.. Buds are already made..and are still growing!! So just use your intuition..its all good! It looks very nice btw bro!😍👏

Seems like the plants have faded a bit already... depends on if you are a later or early harvester i guess? Can't really guesstimate eta from pictures, so if it's got a while yet, definitely fertilize at least a little bit. Can't grow without building blocks, and that includes producing trichomes and all other elements of ripening. Flushing is a myth. If it was necessary, we'd be 'flushing' plants outside in the ground, which nobody in their right mind would do. Leaching out all the nutes might even be detrimental to the next crop, lol. People do a lot things blindly due to faith and misguided perceptions of reality. 'flushing' before harvest is one of those things for sure. you can't prove a negative. Either you prove a measurable effect or you do not. Evidence is piled up on the 'no repeatable effect' side. But do what makes you feel good. Just make sure it doesn't fade so far it can't cannibalize itself. No point of giving it light if it can't grow/ripen. It cannot manifest necessary building blocks just by pure will.

to flush or not to flush? here is the question. personally i had never flush for the past 30 years, except few time for very specifique need. In fact their is no scientific proof that flushing or not are benefical. in my opinion you should keep feeding your plants with the right nutrient until harvest and give your flower the proper cure time its required.
