trich shots - ready to flush?

I'm at Day 52, (7 weeks 3 days) in FFOF soil under 600w LED and starting to look at my trichs trying to figure out when to flush. Running a papaya and a casey jones.

Theyre both getting some amber on the top colas, but the 2nd bud sites down, as well as all other lowers are majority cloudy/some clear.

Trying to run a 10-14 day flush since ive been feeding ghflora series and koolbloom pretty heavy... but deciding whether to start now or feed one more time. Check my trichs.

Looking for a stony high, a little couchlock is cool with me. What do you guys think? Would you start flushing now?

I'm thinking about flushing in like a week, which would mean I chop sometime around day 68-72

Id wait for a few amber to show up there before beginning the flush.. but every plant is different.. sometimes you check the room the next day and youve got 20% amber.

good photo's

FLushing is for Toilets

Flushing is for good smoke

there have been many threads about flushing on RIU,, and more people side with the idea that flushing does nothing for the buds, you cant wash the salts out of the buds themselves,, you would only be washing salts out of the dirt only,,,

Edit: besides there are no salts in the buds any ways,, lol

last time I flushed......it was my bottled nutrients to my outdoor flowers.

if the salts are gone from the dirt, say the plant is force fed excessively too even, and then its uptaking water without food, its likely burning reserved carbs, draining resources from fan leaves first for instance. check out the results using a refractometer, whatever you might think they mean, they change during a "flush" when using chelated salt feeds.
I grow using organic foods like bunny poop, fresh worm casts, and organicare dry ferts. They can be over fed too, will affect flavor in the end and even development while growing, and the refractometer readings. after dialing them in plants will report their end of cycle in a healthy manor, just like outdoors, with less water uptake, change in color, full bud formation, etc. --and consistent refrac numbers, directly related to flavor, aroma and smoke-ability in my experience

Withholding N would have a positive effect, because it takes a few days for plants to metabolize nitrates that they've absorbed into proteins. Less nitrates means healthier, because when smoked it will produce less nitro compounds, like in air pollution. At least that's my theory. Supposedly, fermenting changes the proteins into other compounds and the N is released as ammonia. Otherwise you're smoking the proteins, which also is probably not a good thing.

Thanks. That's pretty much what I thought. Still, I might just water with molasses until then, no more feeding.
