I am big on doing some research and some of your questions are similar to what I looked up when I was getting started with growing a cannabis plant or two.
Thank you for the feedback Very helpful. I was also thinking about buying a press to make dabs, have you gotten into that yet?Plants look great and the flowering seems to be doing well. Couple of more weeks and you will be picking up more experience on how to harvest and everything that goes with that.

There is a drop-down menu called New Posts. It looks like one of the forums on this msg board but is a listing of all the threads that have a recent msg. I check that every morning, often without logging in, and I noticed that several of the threads were related to your question on whether to flush. What is good about that type of research is that after looking through several threads on any question I come across a lot of the background to the topic.
Another thing that is easy to do is to ask each question in a google search, or use a favorite search engine, and getting other growers thoughts on the topic.
Another way of searching is the ask the question but include 420magazine in the question. On the topic of harvesting an example is:

The first group of links that comes up will refer back to this message board and the topic of harvesting. I frequently go to google when I cannot find the exact thread I am looking for with the search function here. Not sure how easy it is to do a proper search when using a cell-phone.
Speaking of harvesting you will come across the topics of Bud Washing and the Best Way to Dry. Questions leading to more questions....
I am old and old school. I just wait till the cure is finished and grab a pack of papers and roll one up. Can't find my old brass pipe so that is out.
What is bud washing?I am old and old school. I just wait till the cure is finished and grab a pack of papers and roll one up. Can't find my old brass pipe so that is out.
But young enough at heart that I go through the bud washing stage. Then I dry low and slow in the fridge and do the cure in canning jars for a month or more. Just found a small Mason jelly jar with the first Marijuana plant I grew and then harvested back in November of 2017. Smells just as good now as it did back when I finished the curing in time for Christmas of that year. Might have to roll one from that stash one of these days.
It is a way of washing the flowers at harvest time. Pretty simple and a good chance that after doing it several times and comparing the result to buds that were not washed you will become one of the "bud washers" yourself.
