Poll kind of on Flushing

I always go by trichs and not necessarily weight. If they look ready to come down I don't worry about them fattening. With soil there are salt and metal deposits from animal byproducts and nutrients. The idea of flushing is to release that bond from the plant with a flushing agent and letting it take in plain water to flush those residues out. Some people just take them down without flushing but I definitely notice a difference in smoothness and the ash produced from burning. But if they're ready... they're ready and I wouldn't wait nor worry about weight. The leaves have everything they need to produce your final yields.

Yes i always go by trichomes to determine when to cut. I have always watched them and started flushing when it was almost ready and cut when its ready.
Just always hear that most consider approx 2 weeks away to be the ideal time to start flushing. Last time i was off due to the temps dropping due to heater failure. So ended up that i started like 4 weeks early. Lol It honestly ended up the best smoke I have had in a very long time. Not sure if it was the low temps, long flush, extra time or what. But was by far the best.

I flush with Florakleen 6ml/Gal in Coco/Perlite
For the final flush, I hit them with 4x the normal quantity of inflow on the initial flush treatment. I then continue with normal quantities for an additional 4 irrigations with florakleen. This takes me only 2.5 days in Coco. I am willing to harvest at that point, but prefer to follow with two more days of plain water if I am not desperate to get them upside down. So 4.5 days is my maximum flush duration.
I have a gallon of flush water sitting outside my tent ready to start the process with the Power Africa tonight, in 30 minutes

The last week or two, I just molasses and water and don't worry about flushing, although I've flushed them numerous times before, when I've used chemicals, and flushing sure helps them, bigly. As for taste.
In good living soil, you ain't got to flush. It ain't nothin to flush.
