Im on my second grow heres what ive learned.
If your new / are using soil / adding fertilizers and dont know what your doing you will probably need too flush or your smoke will be nasty af black ash super harsh on the lungs. According too a book by ed rosenthal flushing is the process of breaking down sugars and starches and according to advanced nutrients you need to flush out the heavy metals found in your fertilizers.
My brother would grow in hydro and flush the plants for 12 hours only! But if your growing in soil id recommend a flushing solution like flawless finish and too flush for a minimum of 7 days. Flushing for 2 weeks is most likely over kill.
Good luck with your grow hopefully you dont drop the ball at this point. Because if you mess this step up your smoke will be harsh and nasty.

Cannabis Flushing Research Study

In our research study, RX Green Technologies evaluated the effects of different flushing times on chemical profile, flavor, and smoke of cannabis flower.

Actual study on flushing.

Ash color is also pseudo science. You can starve your plant at the end of its life, but its probably not a good thing. You can flush the soil/hydro medium, not the plant. Curing is where sugars and starches get broken down.

An unwritten rule of RIU is that all yield questions get the response "bout a pound" or "about a pound". Often later responses are even more silly but still funny, IMO.

Hard to guess yield so bout a pound is as good as any guess.

Seriously, though, let it go a while yet. Don't try to guess finish time. Feed until you are ready to harvest.
