Hello, This is my first grow. I am in early week 7 and leaves are yellowing rapidly. The genetics state that the flowering period is 8 weeks. I have watered the plant 3x a week. pH 6, 3tsp of fox farm big bloom per gallon (1x week). I was going to flush soon, but I am not sure

This is exactly where you want to be week 7 of flower. You don't need to flush the soil. Just a waste of time and water The plant is already showing that its slowing the uptake of nutrients by itself with the leaves senescing. Overwatering late stage can invite root rot or botrytis. Looking good just keep it consistent untill the end and once you notice it drinking less id think about harvesting in a few days.

Plant looks to have initiated autophagy its dumping its nitrogen held within leaves to feed carbon conversion in the rootzone. Continue to flush the medium in the last days for full fade and dump as much of the green as you can before harvest. Looks yummy, exceptional for a first-time grower, well done.

I don't think you have too much reason to worry; it's completely normal for the plant to draw nitrogen from the leaves for bud growth as it approaches the end of flowering. This is part of the natural process that comes with ripening and blooming. I would calmly start flushing as you enter week 8, so that the final product is more chemical-free and has a smoother burn, with a less scratchy, "clean" taste.
