Is it true that a good guide to flush is when you have 50% amber pistols and 50% white pistols ??

I don't worry about it to much. You will get a ton of opinions. Always flush after taking a dump.

I do start flushing at first signs of brown pistils and usually would finish after 2 weeks. But this is strain dependent.

Pistils mean nothing for ripeness. I have some strains that have red hairs at three weeks but aren't ripe until week 9. Plus I just never understood why you would want to starve a plant at the same point when it puts on the most weight.

I have seen no evidence That flushing does anything for your buds. I feed mine till the end. They get their last meal so to speak.

A good rinse with some plain water now and then does help with the taste of your buds though. No scientific facts to back that up but a good spraying to remove dust and other nastiness sounds like a good idea to me.

When you want your plants to decline and lose vigor then commence your flush. It's really beneficial the last couple weeks of bud growth, not near as much bud to trim.

You are supposed to flush at it's last stages when it's fattening up so you aren't injecting your nutes into the buds...

Are you one that believes amber trichomes are CBD too?

try flushing on one of your plants and after it's done curing tell me it doesn't outperform the non flushed plants...

Really? Supposed to? Try using a good quality nute and you will savour the taste, not flinch from it. I didn't say a thing about CBd, did I? I said ripeness is not determined from the pistils. I know these plants and I know where what comes from and when.
