Flushed too soon

I’m in 3 gallon pots coco/perlite 70/30 mix. I realize that I rushed in to flushing, they probably have a week or 10 days left, and I have flushed for 7. Is there any sense in feeding for a few days or just do a really long flush?

Show us some pics. Maybe try some feeding on half of them and just stay flushed the rest and tell us the results of this experiment.

Pre-flush is just a preface to actual flush followed by courtesy flush

some of the mid to lower nugs:

These are what the tops look like, mostly white hairs:

the trichomes look opaque to me though:

Yo that looks really good! I’d maybe suggest feeding at half strength again once or twice.

They look good just feed through to the end. You have a little ways to go but so far they look ok.

Those pistily ( I made that name up ) tips are from your light ….. your light Intensity pushes that growth at apex. However …. Don’t rely on a “ set “ week to pull ….. plants finish when they finish. Any breeder harvest hype should be considered a guide only. They are looking quite nice but they will put effort hardening off . They still eat and drink ……

Keep going …. It’s far too easy to pull a plant too early , than too late. Think about it , have ever heard anyone go “ oh Fuck … I chopped this bitch too late - I’m gonna get CBN ! * shits pants. I haven’t…. You will find the threads that haunt RIU the most , are dealing with early pulls.

Flushing before harvest is pointless and an old wive's tale, they need nutrition all the way up to just before harvest. Feed them what they need, plant health and bud development will be much better

Thank you guys. It’s so weird tht it’s such common knowledge that “you have to flush”. It’s crazy how rampant a piece of misinformation can run.

It can't be called knowledge as knowledge is based on facts. Misinformation is based on falsehoods. The belief that flushing benefits the plant or final product is based on nothing more than false assumptions that have proliferated among the cannabis growing community.

Knowledge:

"facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject."
