Should I start flushing now (see pics)

Hello!I I've been growing a Lime Daiquiri for the past 10 weeks and it's getting close. I've checked the trichomes and they look mostly cloudy, and a handful of amber ones.
I was wondering if this is the time to start flushing (watering normally without nutes), and by when do you reckon I should harvest (1-2 weeks?). I would prefer to keep the THC peak...also, do trichomes keep changing colour during the drying phase? How quickly on average? Thanks!

I have the same situation with a plant of mine, all the other girls in the tent are more frostier and this one has tonnes of pistils but not very fat, is it just the case that it will take longer to flower due to genetics?

Definitely it has small sugar leaves and looks less frosty than other strains..

We all get that you mean water without nutes.

Flushing is a bad idea in general unless you have a salt build up in soil.

You wouldn't starve a pregnant lady right before she gives birth so why would you do that to a plant?

It has already been scientifically proven that flushing doesn't do anything good for plants aside from removing a salt build up.

For better bud taste and a smoother smoke, the key is in the curing process.

Got it, I probably mis-used the word flushing. I never intended to flush in its actual sense but just regular waterings without nutes. Thank you for your specification

We all understood, do not water without nutes unless you have a salt build up or are trying to prevent a salt build up. Feed your plant and keep feeding it.
