So I’m in week 9 of flower and I’m just wondering Is a one week flush enough? And when should I do it I don’t have a jewels loop so I can’t check the trichomes but I can see some of my pistols going brown not all of them tho only I’d say 50% or so alot of the pistols sort of just disappeared basically should I flush this week?

No need to " flush"....old bro science. All you have to do is decrease or stop nutes completely, and water with properly ph'd water...you will be good to go. Generally two weeks is fine.
Good luck.

I stop feeding nutes about 10-14 days before I harvest. Based on my own experience, my herb burns better with a nice white ash. Lots of debate but for me I like it

I feed upto the day i chop.. i read recently (not sure on which forum) someone did a side by side, same weed same everything, one flush one no flush.. could not tell the difference.
P.S. i saw a youtube vid the other day and in the comments "ohh that ash is dark.. he didn't flush!" ohh come on...

Step one, post a picture of the buds for us. If only 50% of the stigma are red, then most likely it still has a solid 3 weeks(maybe more) left before its actually ready. AFTER the stigma change color, the buds still have to swell up internally and ripen. YOU WILL NOT OVER RIPEN a plant, it does not happen on accident.
