Should I Start Flushing?? I need Your Help Riu

Plants look great. Flushing is only necessary when ur growing ing hydro to get rid of excess salts. In soil it's not an issue.

flushing at the end is a mistake that so many make, if only folks would take the time to learn what is going on with the plants from a botanical standpoint

you flush in soil only when you use chem. ferts and put too much and are noticing signs of nute burn. to remove excess ferts in soil just use water no nutes it will use whats already in soil and thats that. when watering you can let it leach out the bottom a little if it makes you feel better.but i would think flushing wich is like 4 or 5 times the volume of your pot size i.e 5 gal pot equals flushing with 20 to 25 gals. of water wich im sure waterboarding your plants wont make them healthier thats why it is used to keep plant from dieing due to nute burn.removing excess simply requires you stop using ferts and only use water.

I don't understand why you wanna stop giving your plant food when it's in the most important stage of growth lol, bad taste/ chem comes from bad dry and cure or overfert.

So basically thanks dude, but I don't believe you. Classic.

Giving pure water for the last week is np because there could be all sorts of food built up in the soil from all the feedings, so the plant will still do ok.. 2 weeks is pushing it though, if your leaves all go yellow, you aren't getting anymore weight, and if the buds are another 2 weeks from true maturity then you've just failed. And looking at your pics, nice yes, but white hairs everywhere, looks 3 to 4 weeks to me.

when I grew in soil I would only nute every third watering... (water, water, nute)

Since I only watered about once a week, there was a window of 2 weeks where it would get straight water anyhow....so save that 2 week window until the end then harvest

So in my books this is not flushing, but rather just not applying nutes it the last weeks

Flushing soil is pouring gallons of water through it

yup flushing and gradually cutting nutes is two different things

Thanks for all the replies guys.
I did however flush yesterday a semi flush
pots are 5gal i flushed with 10gal and plan on using only plain ph water
But all these replies have me confused and worried now
Did i jump the gun?
Should i keep feeding for abother week or so....
I understand you guys see lots of white hairs
but trichomes are 75%milky and about 25%Amber
Correct me if im wrong
but isnt amber trichomes a sign of maturity
and from wat i understand if i continue to feed they will eventually turn all amber wich will make my crop cbn or cbd
I plan to cut her down on the 11week mark
shes a sativa
am i headed in the right direction
or did i mufff upp

To further add to this
i plan on feeding only plain ph water last 2weeks
trichomes are 25%Amber
and i did use alot of chems
i used:
Botanicare_Pro Bloom,Yeild Enhancer, Liquid Karma, Cal Mag, Hydroplex, Sweet Raw, Silica Blast through out entire bloom cycle
im on day 61 plan on hatvesting day 74
