Why is the plant wet this far into flower.........you're asking for trouble.
Hard to tell with the pics, but it appears you already have trouble.
Good luck.
what sort of issues i trimmed the bud quite a bit other than that the buds are too heavy for.the stems. this is a 18 week auto its developed some sort of deficiency but seems to be corrected and has not gotten any worse

dont understand what the problem is. ever heard of an ice bath
You are way off … first flushing does nothing for plant - it leaches the soil. So unless you plan on smoking the dirt it makes zero sense if you fed correctly.

Also dousing the flowers in wetness is bad all the way around - as you will most likey get excess moisture deep in bud where mold and rot will form.

i figured leaching the soil wpuld
sure have. I had heat stroke once and it really helped.
for a plant? not so much, no.
well i didnt flush the previous harvest which was fairly harsh week 1 of cure but is improving. at least if i trial a flush with this plant i will know for sure wether there is any real difference or not. if it doesn't or it has issues. i have a 16 clone sog 1 week rooted lol

Thousands of people on this forum have debated endlessly for years about whether flushing is beneficial, and at best it's still inconclusive.

Lots of folks around here grow top shelf, and many of them don't flush. You're not going to know for sure whether it was beneficial. Too many variables.

Concentrate on finishing strong, not harvesting early, and a nice, proper slow dry. Harvesting early and fast/improper drying is usually where most people get tripped up.

bra people can hate all they want but you got some pretty big frosty nugs there! and i have read alot of grow books im burly on my first grow but i have read a lot and according to ed rosenthal's publishing company flushing is the process of breaking down sugars and starches and curing is the process of breaking down chlorophyll but also according to ed rosenthals publishing company there are ways too break down sugars / starches without depriving your plants of nutrients and there are ways of breaking down chlorophyll without curing them in jars for a long time.
