Should I flush if I've only used plain water through the whole grow?

Im nearing my first grow and only used a little bit of worm castings and some Extreme Serene root booster. I only watered the plant maybe twice with the root booster and castings. other than that its been plain old water.

Haha ok I'll post pictures but I'm warning you this is my first grow and they WERE looking real good and then they went south. I'm using 4 23w CFL, 3 daylight 1 soft and a cheap Walmart grow light. I thought it would help with the lower buds but no, it did nothing. I wanted to keep this a small grow to see what I was getting in to.

Then slowly the fan leaves started turning yellow and dying off starting from the bottom and going up to the next set. Now they look like sticks but the colas look good to me lol.

What can I do next time with the fan leaves dying off like that?

Don't cut yet. If you want them not to yellow on you feed them more worm tea during the veg. Or early in bud. Try not to feed them the worm tea in bud because it has nitrogen in it. It wouldn't hurt to get some bud swell or bat guano for your next experiment.

Thanks for the advice man. How long should I wait to cut. I dont have a good magnifying glass right now to look at the trichomes.

Why is flushing "idiocy"?Most grow guides etc you read tell you to flush.That shit does my head in on here.People like to belittle newbies for asking 'dumb' questions,tell them to go and do some research,then when they do,you say its idiocy?!?Cant fucking win man

so its purely opinion based, which is why we are trying to give an opinion....i would recommend flushing, i have not flushed and got complaints of taste and then went ahead and flushed "my way" and received many compliments on the smoother smoke, so u can read all that like i just did and learn a little something or u can learn from exp.....ill take exp any day of the week and i trust my patients word over a study that starts with flushing and ends with alcohol fermentation and a bunch of links to curing (put it in a jar and burp it sometimes).....also, with ur plants being that small, its an obvious personal grow....do what u think is right flush one, and dont flush the other and see what u like
