It looks like it's close to being done. There is never any reason to flush a plant, it's an old stoner myth that completely ignores plant biology. Keep a close eye on the trichs, keep feeding that hungry girl as long as she keeps eating, and win the game during the drying and curing phase.

Close up pics are always appreciated whenever you're asking for community input. You did great by the way, that's a good looking plant!

i cant taste,smell or imagine any difference in flushed to unflushed plants.as for the black ash white ash....................what colour is the ash on a ciggy ? it wernt flushed and i dont know how many nasty chems in that.
its wise to add 1 or 2 weeks onto any estimates a seed bank/breeder may give very few of my plants ready in less than 70 days and thats 10 weeks,im sure them buds could fatten up a bit
keep er lit

Have been told the reason for flushing is Cannabis is the catfish of plants, it cleans up heavy metals well. No need to ingest any more than necessary. Personally in my own grows I can taste when I've push a plant to the end.

Sorry
Ya can’t flush heavy metals from Cannabis.
Heck
Ya can’t flush nutrients from Cannabis.
One removes the nutrients from the medium via flushing
The plant then feeds on all the excess crap one puts into it (I.e eating itself.)
Plants don’t use heavy metals to grow.
Just stores it.
No amount of ‘flushing” will remove heavy metals ( or pesticides) from the plant.
All flushing does is destroy your root zone ( in soil)
And starve your plant.
Putting a lotta crap into a plant for 8 weeks then thinking it can be flushed out in 2 is stoner myth.
The last few weeks cut your nutrient ppms down to 1/4 strength.
Feed that till chop.
Only thing I flush around is me terlit.
No need for me to taste it to know it taste like shit.....

Flush? Why? There is no science behind flushing.

Don't flush especially in soil. Its a waste of time and amendments if your organic soil. If you using synthetic nutes just dial them back in the end. Honestly I think most peoples problem with synthetics is they insist on running 1300 ppms or some other insane number.

I would pull the leaves that are dying or yellow at some point. You do not want to leave any easy food source for critters in your grow room.

I equate flushing to not feeding a cow 2 weeks before you have it butchered so your rib eye steak tastes cleaner. (i know how ridiculous that sounds it is why i use that example.)

Start flushing ... it's not a myth. Just use plain water to flush for the rest of it's life flushing improves taste and harshness . Dont flush and you won't get white ash . If your ash is white you did it right if your ash is black your shit is wack.
