I know im supposed to flush my plants with like 200% runoff about 2 weeks before harvesting but my question is how many times do i flush that plant? Also do i continue watering the plants after the flsuh or do i completely stop the waterings all together?

You don't necessarily have to flush 2 weeks prior.
Flushing is done to remove built up salts and prevent nute-lockup.
It's just a good rule of thumb that most growers over feed their plants and should flush after a few weeks of bloom nutes.
Don't stop watering the plants until a few days before harvest.
Just feeding the girls plain water for two weeks will be plenty of flushing.

You are not going to flush it like you would if you had a problem. The final flush happens every watering before harvest. Just stop feeding it nutes (water only) for every watering. Do not water her for a couple of days before harvest, (this will speed up the drying time). Keep it green

2 step flush then Molases and water only.
First step- water plant until water starts coming out of bottom freely,wait 15 mins. That will disolve all the salts in the soil.
Second step- Flush again like the first time to remove all disolved salts, etc.

Now just water and molases, Molases will give it stronger terpens and heavy buds, it also give's it food for the last 2 weeks. Although I give it molases 2tbl spoon per gallon all the way through flower.

Thaks for all the help guys. Im also a little unsure about how to go about harvesting. When my buds are done and im ready to clip them off the plant, am i better off to cut the whole plant down as one and hang in a closet or should i manicure the buds prior to drying? How long do i dry like this for? After drying i should just store in a mason jar?

Here you go~ Day before harvest cut off all the fan leafs,harvest day, cut plant down just before lights on, that keeps all the salts,etc in the roots. Then cut off all branches and hang on wire clothes hangers or whatever, keep air moving on them for 5 days in the dark, make sure they are dry but not crisp IMO. Then Cure, and do it right or lose your buds.

Thanks for the help. Ive read that tutorial before just wasnt sure about it. Ive heard some ppl say cut the whole plant and let it dry without clipping anything but ive also heard ppl say clip everything and hang to dry so i wasnt sure which it was.
