How long do you guys generally flush with fresh water before harvest? I should be harvesting in about a week from today and I flushed once and have only been watering with fresh water no nutes for about a week. Is this totally goin overboad?

1-2 weeks is usually enough time for flushing or you can do the emergency flush method which I find the best and it only takes about 3-4 days.

so what happens if you start flushing but your buds take an extra week or two longer than you expected, so you end up flushing for like 3 weeks? is that cool?

The color of the hairs is not the best way to tell when to flush, you need to check the trichs.

Also 3 weeks of flushing is fine especially if you are growing in soil.
