Flush and Bud Growth before harvest

Im growing a dwc white widow x AK47 scrog and have been flowering 62 days. the buds looked like they had stopped growing and 1/2 of the pistles were redish so i flushed with water 4 days ago. I now notice that the buds are producing little growths with white pistles. The trics have milky white stalks with milky/clear heads and they could definitely get bigger but the fan leaves and small leaves on the buds are turning almost all yellow from deficientsys.

I know all the chemicals are out of the plants and want to harvest but am worryed the buds might have potential to get alot better and i f-ed up by flushing the nutrients.
could i wait another week with plain water or feed them and then flush all over again????????

The buds are near the end but will often show some new growth. It will add a little to the size and weight but nothing significant.

Just continue with your flush and the trics will slowly go from milky to brown. A lot of people say wait till all the trichs are brown but I find in some strains this results in a nasty overly, musky smell and taste. I say test some buds at 65 days, some at 70 and some at 75 days. Then judge for yourself.

You will most likely get a crispier almost grassy taste at 60-65 days. You will end up with a heavier, smoother smoke at 75 days. The longer you wait the stonier the high will be.

sounds like a plan, thanks. Its just that the plants arent getting any nutrients and most the top leaves are really yellow and some curled downward and the trics on the yellowing leaves are nothing compared to the trics on the green leaves so i can't have more of them turning like that. is the damage is already done and 5 to ten more days will grow healthy buds not defficient yellow buds????
