Hey guys hope you can help me, Its my first time growing and my grow is at the harvest window, yet its been almost three weeks since I started the flushing progress and yet many of the fan leafs are still green, they are going a lighter shade of green. but I'm just confused/concerned for how long it's taking to flush ???
Any advice would be great
I am using synthetic bottle nuts and a 200w light and grown in coco.

What sort of EC level were you feeding at?

There is no way you should need 3 weeks flushing just water unless you were massively over feeding them or something.

Nutes down to 1.0 1.2 ec for me 2 weeks ish before harvest due. Last 3-7 days at most of just water. No issues.

I used to flush at least 2 weeks but from experimenting and reading others results. It’s largely not needed in most situations.

The leaves don't HAVE to be yellow to harvest. Have you checked ripeness of the trichomes? I'd be more worried about letting it go too long with this... once they're mostly amber you've basically let your weed overripen into sleeping medicine.

How many weeks did you have the plants in 12/12 schedule before you started flushing? You should start flushing usually around 7-8 week mark on most strains and give them just plain water for the last couple weeks of their life. Mainly to save on nutrients and also to "flush out" what you can. Keep in mind what is already in the plant isn't going to come out no matter how hard you flush. Some strains I harvest dont fully "turn" and look kinda like this. Other strains I'll flush for a few days and the leaves fly off the plants. lmao
