flush and crop advise needed!

I'm looking for a second opinion if available. I hhave "flushed" these last two weeks with bud candy and ph balanced city water. Now, I called the dude at the local grow shop for some advise about putting the plants bqack on nutes and which ones(if any). He said I did it just right, two weeks of flushing then put back on nutes for two weeks at 50% petency. Im using "roots organic arura" ( don't know if I can name drop, sorry if I effed up) 1 part for bloom. ive had them on this since week 6(besides flush). before it was 2 part GH. If u need to know what they were on before in detail, ask. im in week 12 going on 13 and I have only about 1% amber triches. in all, they are on that 1 part bloom, bud candy, floralicious plus and calimag pumped up to 200PPM instead of 50. What is your opinion on this(anyone please)? the main problem is they wont ripen... its diesel #1. if im not mistaken, that is sativa dominant and normally takes a while, right...? I have pics. its one LARGE plant. any advise is good, or if u need more info i'll tell you. 600 w hps lamp and I know its not ph issuses. I know theyre are a lot of variables, just ask for detail. please and thank you View attachment 2853310View attachment 2853311View attachment 2853312View attachment 2853313View attachment 2853314View attachment 2853315

Why are you renuting after flush, arent you ready to chop?

I have a sativa dominant right now that will not stop popping pistils. White pistils are mainly growing on the tips of foxtails. I can go on and on and on, she will keep pumping a string of calyxes. I have done her before so i know she is about ready, although i keep seeing new growth (foxtails). But in the past week she got FROSTYYYYYYY! most calyx pods are plumped and everyday i see less and less clear trich heads. Currently on day 85 since 12/12.

I think you flushed too early. But i see it wasnt in your control, since you had another 4-5 plants sharing the res. Dont understand why the hydro guy told you to flush and feed @ 50%. Flush and be done with it.

IMO, do not feed. give Plain water for another 5 days, 48 hours of total darkness and chop her up. Its hard to tell with them pics, but she looks pretty finished up.

Drop your nutrient program by at least 500 ppm and your girls will finish much better. She stressed to the max, I would keep flushing and take her off. Re-visit your nutrient schedule for your next crop, I have 2 boys running dwc and neither one is running over 800ppm at the hottest point, both are absolutely sick set ups and their product is some of the best I have seen. High doses of nutrients can do a number of different things, stunting and slow growth are just a couple. JAS

Sup bud... Tell him to go bite a hogs ass. Keep the money or use it on lighting media etc. most the shit we buy is never flushed. 2 weeks for hydro is plenty of time. If your tricks aren't ready and you need 2 more weed, then use a cheated bud swell if needed. But he's blowing smoke and trying to take advantage of you
