Flush or wait another week to start?

Yeah, but I don't exactly starve them. To be clear, I just stop adding the nutrients to the water I'm adding to the reservoir. I don't remove the solution that's there, so there's still N in there. The concentration will start dropping, and you'll see some yellowing of the fan leaves after a bit. I don't go overboard so the leaves all die. Ideally when I'm harvesting, there's some yellowing of the leaves but they're not dead/falling apart.
If they are yellowing they are deficient. Like I said that's not beneficial to the plant. But they are your plants and you can do with them as you wish. Just wanted to point out facts so they other growers don't think that process is beneficial.

I don’t get it anyways….. thanks for the advice, I guess I will wait to get a 70 30 cloudy to amber trich ratio then start watering with plain ro water ph @6.0 also thanks for the advice the other week twenty eight my girls have completely one eighty they are lush and taking off with new growth. Any advice on what I should do to finish these plants would be appreciated thank you in advance
What everyone is saying is.... dont bother flushing.... use weaker nutes. I don't see any brown trichromes. I woukd still feed quite strong for another week and then use half strength or even quarter

Not exactly... if they are yellowing, then the plant is drawing N out of the leaves. But if the leaves haven't completely died yet, then the plant hasn't used all the N up yet.

In California we are in a perpetual drought it seems. I don’t flush pee, only poo unless the salt buildup is really high of course. But I do wash my hands regardless…
