Take a 60x magnifying at look at trichomes. Need to clear and milky ...... when ready to be plucked .... they will contain 85%milky trichomes and the rest clear and amber. Nice job

I used the microscope thing on my phone and everything looks milky I didn't see any Amber yet but it could be because it's a shit app on my phone. I was figuring like another week and then harvest. What do you think?

Thank you! All im seeing is milky no Amber but it could be because I'm using a microscope app on my phone. It's my first grow and i didn't think about purchasing one until it was too late. Lol. I was thinking another week maybe

i don't flush more than a day or 2 but i also drop my EC pretty low during the last week or so.

what EC are you running at?

and i don't chop until they have about 10% amber

Idk about ec but my Ppms are still about 650-700. I'm getting ready to do bucket change this weekend sometime, what should I drop it down too?

What Rky said.
I believe flushing is a myth.
If you are paying attention to what your plants want, youll be tapering off in the end anyway so it should be fairly light. Mine have all slowed wayyy down on nutrient consumption by time it was ready to where I wanted it.

IMO, do both and compare for yourself. Cut some off then do a fresh water flush for a few days. Dont need more than like 3 imo as thats pretty much how long it takes for major changes in dwc. Dry and cure them the same way and then compare.

Awesome thanks for the input! I'm going to taper off this feed to 300 ppm for two plants and I'll do one with a flush! Much appreciated input!

Well, you are not alone.
These guys think it is too. I have had horrible results when I did not flush. Thankfully I vape and it doesn't matter at all if the buds burn like crap. This video really made me wonder if it was something else that made the difference. When I did extreme flushing I would get a fine burn with white ash, when i did not i would get black ash that would go out over and over. The cures were the same. I really think that flushing makes a big difference given certain conditions. Don't most commercial growers still flush? I really wish I knew the answer this one. If you use so many nutes that you get lock-out flushing doesn't help at all. So I suspect it may help the burn sometimes.
