When to flush & do I need to?

It's definitely a good idea to flush with hydro. You can start reducing the nutes in the last 2-3 weeks of flower and then straight water for the last week. Or, you can use a flushing agent like Clearex and go full strength on the nutes up until a couple days before harvest.

I will give that a go thank you.
I personally don't flush, I run em up to harvest. Last few weeks they really pack it on so I keep em good and fed
Lots of sides to the flush or not battle....lol...I dont

Might just be the lighting, but they look like they could go a while longer to me. I sometimes have trouble with pictures, though. How many days have they been under a flowering light schedule? And were they mature when you switched to it?
Look like they've been getting too much nitrogen, too.

switched to 12/12 8 weeks ago. have been giving them advanced nutes recipe off the bottle since they started and am about to go straight water for another one or two weeks. we'll see i guess as this was my first go at DWC..
What strain is it?

Get a ppm meter mate. It tells you how strong to make the feed. Number goes up add more water. Number goes down add more nutes. Number stays still or just drops a little bit then its sweet and youll get the best plant you can. From the nutrient side of things anyway

invest in a jeweller's loupe and go by the trichs.

i have and am.. looking for about 30% cloudy i think.... yes ??
depends on personal preference for the stone. i kinda look for about 10% amber the rest cloudy, with the odd clear here and there.
oh yeah, make sure to look at the trichs on the bud not the sugar leaves. they amber out on the sugar leaves a bit quicker, it can be deceptive sometime.

Personally i don't flush but there is a lot of debate on this subject... i think the cure is more important, nice grow though buddy

are you running dwc jimbob ?
just curious. my personal belief is clearing plants is only relevant in hydro media.
edit: do agree the cure is the more important part.
