I'm in my 9th week of flower today. I looked on the web about the final weeks flushing. Some say use up to 3 times the water as the soil volume ??? Wtf is that. So 15 gallons for every 5 gallon pot? Lmao that's not happening. Then I read just give them the normal amount of ph balanced water minus the nutes. Sounds more logical. These plants are beautiful to me and want to finish them off right. What do you all do to flush before harvest?

Plants got time to go, just keep doing what you are doing until they ripen and save the flushing for after Taco Bell.

Judging from those pics you’ve got about 4 weeks at least to go.

Plant will not “ die “ …. Forget flushing. If you feed without excess , you will be fine.

Breeder estimates are guides only . Most of the times listed is marketing bullshit and or under “ controlled “ conditions( i.e strain testing / line work ) . Stop staring at calendars … plant will finish when it finishes. Forget what leaf triches show. Concentrate on uniformity of ripeness ( throughout bud ) , pistil color off and recede , bulking/ weight .

Patience is the hardest part. It is too easy TO CHOP EARLY than chopping too late.

I have patience and just want them to be the best they can. My friends in the 80s grew some killer shit and to me it looks at that level but 40 years later I dont know shit lol

Yes your plants look good and they definitely need more than one week to finish properly. If you wait until they are completely done it'll make a noticeable difference in weight but more importantly quality (especially if you don't flush and starve them of vital nutrients they need during the bulking phase).
