Don't worry about the time you flush not a big deal u less you been iseing neem or something that will make buds harsh. Most liquid salt based nutes along as you give you plants a good watering with no nutes last time b4 harvest you will be good. Everyone says shoot for a bunch if amber tricombs don't listen to that crap. You want 70 to 80% the hairs to change and turn inwards on the entire plant. After that happens look at tricombs you want about 90% of the tricombs ti be milky white and the rest to be about half clear half amber When you wait till a bunch of amber tricombs buds don't get you high just give you a buzz. Also risk of buds starting to rot on the inside

If you want to "flush" for 2 weeks, I would start nowish. No need to drown your plants with gallons of water, just stop all fertilizers/supplements and give only plain water in normal amounts and at normal intervals and the plant will "flush" itself naturally. "Flushing" should always be done, no matter if the fertilizers are synthetic or organic!

A lot of this depends on what your preference will be but mostly everyone aims for a 20% Amber and 80% cloudy trichome. It looks like the diaries running that same strain are going anywhere from 10-12 weeks. I would suggest aiming for that timeframe. So possibly one more week before the two week flush would be best. I hope this helps.

You dont check sugarbleaves, you check parts of bud, middle part calyx ( all bud is constructed from many calyces ) . On sugar leaf you will see ambers way earlier than on bud. Think you have last week left. I still see clears, but plant is fading fast, doubt you can push longer. Flush is myth. No science to back it up.

High RichBud420, The Royal Gorilla Automatic plant still got about 3 weeks till harvest. I would stop giving nutrients from 1 december till harvest. You do not need to flush with a lot of water. You just keep giving the same amount of that you give already with the right pH (6.2) but without nutrients. Happy Harvest Buddy! 💚

If that's the Royal Gorilla auto pal. You actually have another 2 weeks or so left. Also with plagron you're using organic nutrients. So you can feed right up to harvest if you wish.

Hey pal. So, you don't actually need to flush.. Just lower your light % by 25-30% or higher your light distance from plant to lower ppf on canopy Then feed water feeds any nutrition needed should be in the pot and it's a much smoother process for the plant.. has going from nutrition to none causing stress/shock. So just water The plant itself for the most part is done for what I see. So, it's about protecting your trichomes so a lower light % is suggested days before harvest or late ripening Feel free to reach out if you've any questions. Good luck.
