I get where you are comeing from but i grow hydro not soil dude like chalk and cheese.
The only thing the plants are up takeing is what i give them because there is nothing in the medium unless you count rockwool has a nutrient

Listen to Pseudo....he knows what the hell he is talking about. Those plants need to go another 7-10 days at least. And feed them. Yes they do use nutrients you provide and your crop will too. You guys are unbelievable. Flushing and not feeding rite at the plump stage. Harvesting too early...unreal. Going by the finish times on the seed packs? Keep them growing. Use your intuition and a microscope. Keep feeding them. They look nice. The old adage....when you think they are done give them another week....applies here more than ever. Textbook example....follow it. And listen to pseudo.

do you test the run of in hydroponic grows,nutrients are taken out of the plants,I get a lb per light and i go straight water for 3 week ,its the results that speak,look at greenhouse seeds lab test,and have a talk to them about it when in dam

You may be left with nutrients in the plant but in far lower amounts then when just lowering the dose of nutrients,water for 3 week will help get the nutrients out of the plant because it is only up takeing water,i use mineral water so there will be the minerals that are in the water left in the plants and may be traces in the plant,has for soil then you are more likely to have nutrients left in the soil,unless you look into,something that will help reduce the amount of nutrients left in the soil,there is stuff out there that will help reduce the nutrients left in the soil but for me i go with just good quality water,thats why i buy water for the flush,rather than just tap water,the tap water we have is very good very low ec but,i dont like the idea of chlorine,even though if put in a tub with pump for a few days before use and most of this will evaporate,

Maybe if you would stop flushing with plain water at the tail of peak flowering and continue to feed mineral nutrition when they need it the most you would get more than a pizzy per lamp. Just a suggestion.

Once again, you cannot get nutes out of the plant. You can leech the soil if you have a salt build up.

Also lower the nutes towards the end of your grow instead of just using plain water for 3 weeks.

People using just straight water and flushing for 2-3 weeks is definitely overkill, when you do that you're stressing the shit out of the plants. When I flushed I'd do more of a leech where I'd put a shitton of ph'd low ppm water w/ clearex through the plant. I'd do it in 30 minutes done and done. I actually did it last 2 days ago because I was suspicious one of my plants had nute lockout so I did it before lights out then the last gallon I gave a very light feeding of nutes 340ppms and they're already looking better.

I lower my TDS in my solution tanks the last 5 days or so. Only because i reuse my coir. I gut out the root ball at harvel and pot up fresh plants and place the pot.back in the veg room to get them happy. I try and drop the tds of the used coir down to about 650 ppm. New plants love it. The whole flush to get nutrient salts out of the buds is total bowshit and people need to study up on thier botany and mineral nutrition books instead of going with bro science on the internet.

Btw...Clearex if full of chelation agents. Do some research on whats in EDTA, DTPA, and EDDHA . For you "flushers" that want a "clean" smoke and use the popular brand "clearing" agents on the market.

Get a 30X jewelers loupe so you can really get an eye on those trichs, it could just be discoloration from the camera but it looks like you have a lot of amber in there, maybe too much, yet it looks by 5 he pics of the buds that you have a lot of white pistols that haven't receded yet as @Dividedsky mentioned. It could be a case of early amber is she sativa? Or it could be discoloration and their not even fully white yet.

Any "darkness" (other then normal) before the harvest does NOTHING! It's another myth.
