Currently in week 9 of flowering...started flushing 2 weeks ago which I think was too early...is it okay to re-introduce nutes again or is this a bad idea?

How many weeks is the strain said to take from the seed provider?
Are you counting your weeks from the day you switched to 12/12?
Do you have some photos of your plant?

I got these plants from my buddy and had to bring them back to life...after about 1 month it was looking healthy again. The 3 I have are pure power plant, ogk, and cb Dutch treat....all clones. Not sure what weeks is said harvest time. Day 1 flower was 12/12 light switch

I personally wouldn't go back to nutes again at this point.
In actuality it's best to consider yourself in week 8 of flower at the most. It takes 8-12 days to normally get the plant into bud production after you switch the lights.
Still your doing fine.
Have you checked the trichomes?

Ya some are amber some cloudy but majority looking clear still...which is why I'm thinking I flushed too early

Worst case scenario you end up a couple grams lighter but your smoke should be nice and clean. That's more important IMO.

You didn't flush too early. Some growers flush 30 - 40 days into flowering and give no nutes after that point. But those plants look like they're ready to be chopped to me.

Never heard that one before. The day you start 12/12 is Day One of flowering, no matter what day you "consider" yourself to be in. Some growers consider the next day to be "Day One" but whatever. Doesn't matter how long the plant takes to start bud production, day one of flowering is still day one of flowering.
Flushing is turning into a wives tale
I stopped doing it, never seen a difference
Cutting food at the prime time they are building buds is against all horticultural thoughts.
None of mine ever taste of nutes, ever
But....just mine and hundreds of others new thoughts on it

I thought so too but looked at trichomes and there still seems to be lots of clear but also some buds have lots of amber too. Maybe a more experienced eye can confirm?
In my opinion the amber trichomes you see in the above pics look damaged.....not ripe. The amber ones have no heads and the stem of trichome is clear. Also check the buds, not the leaves.
After second look, there are some amber that are not damaged but definitely some that look like heads broke off

What is the cause of this broken heads? First I've heard of this
Could be broke from rubbing with fingers and rupture the head, brushing up on it watering, pruning....but they can also get burnt fro too much heat, light, maybe wind. The main reason I think some are damaged is because they are dark amber at the tip n completely clear in stalk. The stalks of trichome will fill in first . Here's a pic of one with a bit of amber n milky, notice the stalks are full as well as the heads

Flushings for toilets.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Flushing is for toilets. Learn to feed them propperly and they "flush" themselves anyway. I'm currently at 800ppm with 4 weeks to go and they're cannabalising themselves already

Yes it's true some people like to go off of day 1 of 12/12. If you go by seed distributors time lines you will find they are allowing 1-2 weeks extra. This is for the transition period. I believe at least half of the growers on this site go from close to 2 weeks in before counting the days.

Lots of dead leaves looking like root rot from veg stage has compromised the flowering stage. Will this cause trichomes to not ever turn cloudy?

No, they should still turn cloudy and ripen. I'm sure you will still have a great harvest.
