Harvest or not?

Those hairs will be swallowed up when she's completely done. I like kushs with 20% amber trichs.
The hardest thing for me is waiting those last few days til she's fully ripe.
PLus the top buds mature more quickly so you can stagger the harvest over a week or two even.

Flushing is to save money on nutes and nothing more. You can't make a synthetic grow taste and burn like an organic plant by watering just water at the end of the grow. (IMO)
 
Looks like some swelling still needs to happen .
Do not follow breeder estimates or other hype ( like amber ratios ) - let it finish as long as it needs.

If she is still eating and growing why kneecap it. ?

It is very easy to cut “ too early “ vs. cutting too late.
Pistils will recede / buds will harden off , IMO keep going.

GL :weed: anyways
 
If you have been feeding with some control and not overdoing it - flushing is unnecessary.

Flushing does nothing for plant , it is a failsafe move for those growers that overdid it on nutes ( in the soil medium ). Then a flush is used to reset the medium. It is to reduce salt toxicity.

Some growers at very end will reduce the feed at the last stages instead of flushing / some just give it water at end ( no nutes ) to let plant burn off reserves.

Straight Flushing ( gallons ) justs leaches everything from soil.

Whether organic or synthetic, the nutrients taken in by the plant are EXACTLY THE SAME. The only difference is that in organic grows microbes make the nutrients available, in sythetic grows the same nutrients are chelated to a "salt" which dissosociates in water, making the nutrients available to the plant. Flushing in a sythetic grow is to remove the built up salts in the soil, which can cause absorbtion issues.
