Nirvana's Bubilicious Flower questions

I've got a couple Nirvana Bubilicious that just started their 6th week of flower. According to Nirvana it has a 6 to 8 week flowering time. They were just fed a few days ago, so tomorrow they will be getting plain pH'd water. Since they're already in week 6 of a 6-8 week flower, should I just go ahead and do the flush tomorrow? I don't want to do it too soon.

As a follow up to this question, if it is recommended that I don't do my flush this soon and just do a regular watering, should I stick with the Fox Farms feeding schedule which calls for Grow Big/Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom in week 6 or ditch the Grow Big this far into flower?

I've also got some yellowing/browning/drying of the larger fan leaves. I'm hoping this is normal this far into flower, as I've read the buds are drinking up the sugars from the leaves. They get fed Cal-Mag at every feeding (once a week). I have noticed a strong grassy smell. Is that indicative of anything? I pH all waterings and feedings to 6.5. Growing in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil.

First off, your doing a good job on that plant right there buddy! just wanted to say. Second, to me those buds look like they are far more than one week from done, I never follow a breeders suggestion as to when my cull comes in. Its impossible to say without the use of a scope or jewelers loupe, do yourself a favor a be patient till shes perfect. Lastly, when it comes to flushing...(Im gonna get some crap on here for this) you want to flush with OUT OF RANGE pH water (I use 8.5-9pH) Why? Well why do you pH your water to begin with? Its to make the macro and micro nutrients both in the feed and residuary left overs in your medium mobile and usuable by the plant. When flushing you essentially want the plant to uptake NOTHING and rely on everything its stored up over its life cycle to survive. While still providing Dissolved Oxygen to your plant flushing with 9.0pH water ensures a smoother smoke by "Locking out" NPK contents from use. -S0uP

I have 8 of these I'm cutting down tomorrow. It will be exactly 64 days flowering. It seems 1/2 the plants are done properly, and the other half probably need another 5-7 days idealy. So, figure 9 weeks at a minimum, 10 weeks would be ideal on some too. By the way, I dehydrated a bud today, smoked a piece tonight. VERY good, heart racing and speedy sativa buzz right now. It took me by surprise actually. Solid yield too.....

I would of started my flush at about 10-14 days but that's just me. Bubble is some pretty solid bud. The auto version sucks dick. Nirvana has hit and miss with what I've had.

They are looking good though, and don't worry about the yellowing when your in the last 1-2 weeks.

Oh and sshz I think I saw a review on mmj online lol.
