Any recommendations on LED lights?

Either dyi qb, cobs or strip or go cmh

Cannot say enough good things about the CMH's. I ran two SS 315's during the dead heat of summer and was able to keep temps under control with just a 6" intake and 6" exhaust fan.
That's not even going into the monster buds they grow.

The flushing DRAMA among growers basically is a whole headache upon itself.
When is the last time you flushed a tomato plant or orange tree ?

When's the last time you fed 1500ppm novelty Supermater Vegalicious Plus to your tomatoes? When's the last time you smoked a hydroponic tomatoe?

Tapering off is flushing. Yall e-growers and your word games.. Just like kids on audio forums arguing "you dont bridge subs you bridge amps". Who gives a fuck its all the same. Plant uses nutes, if it can't uptake any more, guess what, its being flushed. Doesnt matter if you've rinsed out your coco puffs and fiberglass cubes, blocked the root from your slimey basement sump pump reservoir with pressure differential, or grew a natural plant in soil and blocked microbial digestion with cold temperatures. Its all flushing the plant.

Quick follow-up

I followed y'all's advice, resumed nutes while limiting N. Buds have gained at least 30% more weight since i last posted (visual observation). New images are attached.

Nute mix:

2.5 tsp / gal Tiger Bloom (FF)
1 tsp / gal Epsom salt
1 tsp / gal Go Bud (Bloom Booster)

Updated Facts:

Day 1 of Week 9 flowering
90% amber trichomes (top buds)
50% amber trichomes (lower buds)
40% Yellowing leaves across canopy
Mostly cloudy

2 questions:

1) How much longer do you think i should keep going for?
2) Would you advise i flush or is that just a myth? (I tasted one of the buds, was smooth and quite potent after a 3 day dry with no curing).

Thanks for the priceless advice so far.
