Hey mate. Looking at your diary.
You are not near the end of flowering yet. You need to add or if no def signs keep it going for at least another 3-5 weeks. Depending on your strain and other factors. But your buds got mucu more swelling mate. And ripening to do.
As for flushing on the last week just feed heavy water. To prolong the drying period (as the plant will have high water content) longer dry better quality.

Start flushing as soon as you are capable of wiping your own ass, it's just courtesy.

If your useing salt based nutrients I suggest stopping nutires about qp days b4 harvest. Also I suggest giving the. A little extra water the last 10 days to get some of the chems out the plant. I don't think you need to go crazy or anything.
Some other good tips
Make sure to let the soil get dried out b4 harvest it will help buds dry out.
Also make sure to cut all the leaves off the ppant when you cut it down especially if you don't have a really good setup for drying and curring. I personally feel when you leave the leafs on the plant to dry it makes the buds taste like old soggy leaves

Your plants never were overfed. Flush is a myth or necessary action for screwed grows.

I agree with Numbers. Flushing is a solution to a problem not a tool for standard growing.

High BlazedUpPapa,
You want to stop giving nutrient 2 weeks before harvest. From then you just give water without nutrients but with the right pH (pH 6.2). You just want to keep the same watering schedule as you did the entire grow. So do not give waaay too much! This will only cause problems.
You still got about 1 month to go till harvest. So ask this same question in 2 weeks from now, if it is already time by to stop giving nutrients.
Happy Growing Buddy! 💚

Lots of plump left... not yet.
Flushing is a tool to fix a problem in the rootzone. It does not influence how flower is constructed. It's bro-science that after the original reasons were debunked, just made up new untested reasons as to why it is necessary before harvest. This is just being stubborn.
if your heart is set on it it also depends on the medium. If soil, you can 'flush' longer than in soilless. 10-14 days for soil and 5-7 in soilless will cause a strong fade by the end. You don't want the leaves to run out before it finishes, so err on shorter side, imo.
Based on these images, i'd say 7-10 days before you even think about it... and that's assuming the calyxes finish plumping by then.. usually 2-3 weeks from that point to finish ripening.
