I'm 20 days out from harvest on my first grow. The pistils are starting to change colors and the tricomes are starting to get milky. Should I flush now? Also when I flush do I have to do a full flush or just stop giving then feedings and water only?
here are a few pics of the turn out, slight cal meg deficiency but it's almost over anyway, I have added a little more to the feedings and it hasn't gotten worse.
How much more growth can I expect these last 3 weeks?

Exactly wait three weeks at least what medium are u growing in ? Are u using organise or mineral I only do a week to two weeks Max flush in coco perlite and cheap ass potting compost aka peat meat. I don't get crackles or pops off my weeds I use canna and do a pump and dump in the last week I think they are ready then just plain in Ph'ed water just straight from the tape well hose. In auto pots

You would be mad to flush now u will lose so much growth and bunking.

And I u had more light throw it in like a veg t5 trust me a bit of blue spectrum and hps will make it a frost monster

I don’t flush period, simply dry nice and slow. In hydro I taper the feed down to about 200 ppm in soil I use my super soil and just water start to finish maybe adding some new soil to the top to feed a bit longer.

Something i have all ways done, And something i will continue to do ,is flush the Plants.

Most Likely the New Scientific proof ,saying plants don't need flushing was written by a Nutrient Company . So you continue using more Nutrients,In Organic growing supersoil ext then i guess its not has Important ,But when growing in Hyrdoponic set ups i think you should flush,Plus i think it makes the plants Finish off.

Give me a Flushed Plant and a plant that has not been flushed that have been grown in the same garden ,same Environment and i will tell you what one has been flushed ,its smoother.Burn's better.

A lot more growth if you would have flushed for the final week, instead of the last 3

But he hasn’t started yet :o. So nope no more growth I don’t think.

I your case I would just water as normal. It looks like it has plenty to get it through the next couple of weeks. Flushing is nothing more than a myth.

Just to clarify, are you saying straight water or keep adding nutrients? Just confused by the “you have plenty to get through” statement.

In soil I never go above 1000 PPM, and stop feeding at week 6 of bloom.
In hydro, I stop at 1600 at 5 weeks, change res, bring it down too 1400 and finish at that number.
My joints burst into flames when I light up, but what the fuck, I get BIG BUD!!!

I do super soil in my soil room. But for hydro I don’t feed past 900 anymore. At the last few weeks I drop to 200ish ppm.

So what would flushing consist of starting 3 weeks before? I just feed light till the end when they stop bulking up in soil and the same with my hydro. All of my soil is outdoor and I just top dress with compost and water in with a bit of run off.
