The last 2 weeks.....

Hi everyone. Long time reader here. Great site and I have learnt and read a great deal which has got me to the point I'm at today.
I'm nearing the end of my 1st grow and am very proud with how it's gone. My question is I'm nearing the final 3 and a bit weeks and I've read that the plants can really pack on some weight in the last couple of weeks. I also know that I have to flush the final 2 weeks as well. If I'm flushing the final 2, are the plants gonna have enough stored nutes to acheive this final 'swell'? I'd hate to deprive them and lose out. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I will try and get a few photos up to see what you think.
Thanks everyone.

Don't flush? I thought that was a must otherwise you'll end up with a harsh chemical taste?
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Nope. Its a myth. Flushing is for clearing the medium of excessive salts.
No excessive salts = no flushing needed
Excessive salts = grower error
Toxicities that lead to deficiencies = grower error
Bad cure = grower error

I think I'll be flushing then guys :(
Defo made a bit of an error as I've just started to get some nute burn I think. I raised the lights a bit just in case is what that and fed them just ph'd water for a few days as I can't really get them outta the grow space for a full on flush.

Flush those girls, you'll be glad you did. There are still enough nutes in the soil to let her grow.
I will. I'm pretty sure there's more than enough nutes left in there if I've gotta bit of nute burn happening.
Just starting to get cloudy trichomes. Is there a rough time guide as to how long I can expect to achieve all cloudy with a few amber?
Thanks.

I can't find one piece of science that supports flushing.
However every fucking tutorial and video tells you to do it.

I'm not flushing but it gives me anxiety.

Fuck.

Ok. I've got some serious issues. Went to take some pics for ya and discovered what you can see below. I've posted another thread in the problem section but I'm panicking here and was hoping I could a diagnosis and a solution quickly.
Tell me what you think.
Does the rest look ok or can anyone see problems creeping up to bite my new ass?

Kinda looks like nute burn but it's more than just the tips. I'm still new.
Whether it's burn or a deficiency or ph issue, you should get on top of it. I had some issues on a couple leaves and next thing I know it's the whole canopy.
