Its my first grow, grabbed autos and feminized my autos are on week 3 of flower. My question is when should I start flushing the plant I've done research and I've gotten multiple different answers on when to start. 
1st grow

I wouldn't think about flushing. Auto's to boot. The only difference is the color of the ash... which you can still get by just dimming down the feeding on the last week. If anything do 1 water only as the last watering.. but do yourself a favor, and don't starve it in the end. She will thank you later.

You can flush soil. You can't flush pants.
Take the above advice, tamp down your nutes the last week or so.

Alright I use the fox farm ocean forest mix that in with Coco half and half and add worm castings and and some 4-4-4 it's been great they love it just wasn't sure if it would make a difference flushing the soil or not seen multiple videos of people flushing the soil still unsure if with what I use it's necessary to flush the soil? Everything has been great this far no issues, just the question of should I flush or shouldn't I when the time comes??

You’re doing an organic 4-4-4? No flushing required. I’m going to just use that 4-4-4 longer into bloom before switching to flower nutrients. 3-4 weeks into flower before switching to my 2-5-3.

You can wash your pants though

Yeah organic 444 wasn't sure about any of this did my research and then just winged it and everything's been great. So I don't need to worry about flushing then? The 2-5-3 is for bloom right and what I just top dress the soil, I'm just terrified that I'm gonna fuck it up if I change over to 2-5-3 while in flower they are my babies and id be so mad if something happened to them.

I’m working on this myself. I tried the 2-5-3 last grow too early and it all went yellow. This grow I stayed with the 4-4-4 longer.

I'm at week 12 from seed which is weird because they say autos you go from seed to bud in 9-10 weeks definitely not the case with these girls.

They have been super easy to maintain I started them in my closet upstairs and then moved them to my basement after I tyveked everything,got the temp and humidity right I have a female auto widow (atleast it's supposed to be at this point I think they mixed the seeds up and instead of it being an auto it's just a regular fem seed) she's HUGE and hasn't switched over to flower so I'm just gonna let her keep growing until I harvest my other ones and then hopefully when I switch the light cycle it will kick her into flower.

They are heavy Sativa leaning - narrow leaf .... that alone will extend maturity. Sativas take as long as needed.
15 weeks plus is not uncommon ... think landrace.
Autos can be “ more “ than advertised.... they often run like “ pseudo autos “ and sometimes need to be flipped too.
Take the breeders claim with a grain of salt , on harvest times and ACTUAL RESULT.

Spear shaped buds are common with sativas .... looks good.

Normal. Especially if it’s your first grow. You may have done things to effect the time. You may not have. Either way it’s a healthy looking plant. Don’t be an early chopper. It would be such a shame to ruin a great first grow.

Yeah won't be choppin anytime soon gonna let em put some weight on and keep an eye on the trichomes and see what happens didn't put all this work in to chop em early waited this long couple more weeks won't kill me. I'm just fascinated with watching em grow so they will definitely keep growing long as possible! What's your guys takes on before you chop you let em sit in the dark for a couple days?
