Question about flushing at end of flower

[Xlr8]

Hey there - could use some advice. I am getting close to harvesting and I'm much closer than I thought. I'm getting some ambering on trichomes, but I thought I was further out from harvest so I haven't even started tapering down nutrients.

If I go right into flushing without tapering the nutrients down - is that going to cause any problems for me, or is it okay just to go from fairly high nutrient levels (1500 ppm in hydro) to plain distilled water for the next 10 days or so? Thanks in advance!

Go ahead and flush everything will be fine.

flush the very last day, dont taper nutrients. Also, some highly respected ppl on this thread do NOT flush because the bad taste is not helped from flushing...but instead manicuring the bud BEFORE you dry it

Thanks for the quick replies. It's so nice to be part of a helpful and supportive community. Peace!

How you cure your buds makes a big difference, but I still would flush for 4 plus days....

Some people have said to flush last week of harvest why ? 1st time grower every thing looks good so far .

You flush for a week to give the nutrients in the plant time to get used up and out of the buds as much as possible so you are smoking the bud and not a bunch of fertilizer.
