If you don't notice a difference, you need more sugar water.

For someone new you sure do know alot about finishing plants...auto, regular its all pretty much the same when it comes to nutrition.
Feed a balanced npk profile and taper down the last 2 weeks,dont just starve them.

Good < great
Less < more
I guess its all relative then,if your happy starving your plants when they are trying to add weight,so be it.Flush away.

Why would I feed my plants heavy metals right before harvest ? You have to wash that shit out of the plant before harvest or itr doesn't smoke right and it doesn't burn right

I just don't feed them anymore nutrients two weeks before I know I'm harvesting let them burn off what's left in the soil and feed with flawless finish and pH water and so far that has given me the best results and smoothest smoke so far

Myth.
Doesn't smoke right is the result from improper curing
Doesn't burn right is the results from people going overboard on feeding. (notice the word overboard)

As I understand from viewing this argument many times, you're supposed to flush if you're using salts on your plants, but not if you're growing organic. Doesn't really make sense to me though, once the plant takes in the nutrients, it doesn't really matter what form it was initially in right? We aren't smoking the soil...

If some of the metals are left behind you get a black ash when you smoke a joint when you dont you get a grey ash. I've tested this theory by feeding to the end with no flush PR any sort on a few autos of mine

My thoughts exactly. If they're so worried about "smoking nutrients" and preaching this flushing crud, then they should remove the soil too, who wants to taste/smoke dirt riiiiight?

My question didnt pertain to flushing in the First place, I had a deficiency so I flushed and fixed it now the question was how long do I have to wait before flowering them after I had flushed

For someone thats learning,you sure do have all the answers....
For starters look up the definiton of heavy metals,they shouldnt be anywhere near your rootzone.Cadium,mercury,lead,arsnic...
Flushing is a myth,feed your plants right and you wont have to starve all the crap you packed into them.

Yet another myth. Black ash vs grey ash vs white ash is base on how moist something is when it burns.
Heavy metals won't be an issue if you're feeding properly.

Yes raw sugar. The most popular forms are molasses, honey, sugar cane, brown sugar cane.
And it should be used every watering, all the time.
Sugar is the life blood of the cannabis plant.
The last 2 weeks is when the plant demands sugar at it's most, and removing salts from your medium is the exact opposite of what your plant wants. It needs those salts to convert into sugars so your buds can blossom.
Followed up by a proper dry and cure, you will notice an immediate difference.
