to flush or not to flush

I have read hundreds of articles and watched dozens of videos with mixed answers. I am using 3 gallon smart pots with mother earth perlite and coco mix. My plants are on day 40 from switching to 12/12. Most trichomes are cloudy, but no amber yet. I am feeding 900ppm at 5.9 ph. When do I start flushing if ever? Do I ph my city tap water (175 ppm) prior to flushing. How many days do I flush? After I flush or not, do I let the coco dry out for a few days to promote drying? Any tips? Thanks.
I just checked trichs, mostly cloudy with very few amber. on day 40.

It's a hydroponic medium, so any thing you change is immediate. If you do flush a day or 2 is plenty. I usually just push sour dee the last 2 days and then harvest. But you can't remove what the plant was grown on its whole life so.... choose your nutrients better worry about flush less
 
Don't flush dude. Maybe once your buds are fully ripe give them water only once or twice before you chop if you want. Just try to maintain as healthy a plant as possible and she will dowhat she needs to do.

Getting close to harvest? Only 40 days in flower.

Looks like a few phenomenal(phenos damn autocorrect), the first 2 and last 2 definitely not. With such a small shot of the other plant tough to say, but I'd say let her ride for now

So the purple one looks close? Pic 3,4. It hardly showing any pistils, just calyx. Only 40 days in though so I am afraid to shop. Few ambers, mostly cloudy.
