If you have 25% ambers it's harvest time. In regards to flushing, there's no need. Here's the info again. These are all facts. The assumption that unflushed bud tastes like nutes is a myth. And water cured weed really sucks. <-Not a myth

Summary:

Preharvest flushing puts the plant(s) under serious stress. The plant has to deal with nutrient deficiencies in a very important part of its cycle. Strong changes in the amount of dissolved substances in the root-zone stress the roots, possibly to the point of direct physical damage to them. Many immobile elements are no more available for further metabolic processes. We are loosing the fan leaves and damage will show likely on new growth as well.

The grower should react in an educated way to the plant needs. Excessive, deficient or unbalanced levels should be avoided regardless the nutrient source. Nutrient levels should be gradually adjusted to the lesser needs in later flowering. Stress factors should be limited as far as possible. If that is accomplished throughout the entire life cycle, there shouldn&#8217;t be any excessive nutrient compounds in the plants tissue. It doesn&#8217;t sound likely to the author that you can correct growing errors (significant lower mobile nutrient compound levels) with preharvest flushing.

Drying and curing (when done right) on the other hand have proved (In many studies) to have a major impact on taste and flavour, by breaking down chlorophylls and converting starches into sugars. Most attributes blamed on unflushed buds may be the result of unbalanced nutrition and/or overfert and unproper drying/curing."

if u have 25% amber trichs now, then if you give it another 2 weeks the thc will be degrading by that time. keep a close eye on those trich's they change fast!!!!! if u want to do a flush,start now i say. But yh u can feed until harvest if u want to.

BTW - what does plant shit look like so I can have some tested to see how much nutrient base they crapped during a flush?
