Thanks so much! I’m at the point where my brain is swollen with info and here I am trying to wrap my head around how to finish them up. Still SO much to learn! 
I would feed them… Sorry but I think your a fair bit away and your plants need that nutrients to bulk up and mature.

@Nicky Ok, no I am all for bulking them up as much as possible. Phew… so with that being said, is it too late to turn back? Should I feed em now?
And great note on flushing! I just always read that it makes the smoke less harsh, but had no idea that it was baseless info.
Bottom line, I think I need to stop… and breath… I just don’t want to get this far and screw it up! 
Go ahead and feed its not to late.
I think flushing should be studied but without a research lab no one’s going to get a straight answer.
Keeping nutrient levels fair Durring the grow is more important then a final flush although a final flush can be fine it’s just about timing it right and most new growers growing a dteian they haven’t grown before just won’t get that timing right.
I think experinced growers should run a clone and try flush vs no flush and decide for themselves.
If not running a clone it’s pointless can’t be compared.

@Nicky Yeah, just looking at your pic vs mine. I think I am “beginning” to see what to shoot for. Huge difference! So yeah, any harm in waiting 24hrs so I can dechlorinate my water? I was actually enjoying feeding them and seeing them beef up…

You’ll be fine with 24hr, might loose a bit of green and turn a bit more yellow but shouldn’t be very major in 1 day.
Autopots Daniel son!

That’s on my “one day” list. Gotta focus on the basics for now and spend some money on other things.

Thanks for the tag ! Crystal’s showing some clear. Keep a close watch could change quick. Personally I like 5 maybe 10% Amber With cloudy. @Nicky Posted a good picture for example.

Interesting development this morning. A while back I posted that my big plant smelled like GG 2 Part Epoxy. So today they are taking on more of a classic cannabis smell with a stronger cannabis smell in front and only a slight hint of GG2PE in the background. I am guessing I was smelling the chemicals from feeding (I pumped her full) and now that I’ve flushed, the terpenes are giving off a completely different aroma. With that, I am now a believer of flushing based on personal experience… 
Thoughts?

Looking good!
@Nicky has you covered and is dead on. I’m with him I like a little amber and cloudy.

@JWhistler Agreed. They have changed in a matter of days. This is why I flushed down hard, based on how they have changed over the course of 1-2 days. Now that the dust has settled in my mind, I now feel good about my choice. Verses last night, I was a bit in doubt as to if I had maybe jumped the gun flushing based on my conversation with @Nicky. Just the change that I’ve seen from day to day had me in a bit of a “oh shit” moment when I began to see more amber developing.
Sometimes I like to make my own decision based on how I’ve riffed off of the plant and how I’ve read the plant so to speak. That’s just how I learn and in some cases I don’t like to use you guys as a crutch. I try to come to a conclusion based on the knowledge I’ve gathered thus far and then run it by more experienced growers a.k.a. you guys. Sometimes I’m right, sometimes I’m very wrong. Again that’s just how I learn. Over all I’m trying to develop my “gut”, however with a lot of this I have a long, long way to go! At any rate, I’m going to sit back and watch em closely. I’ll keep you guys in the know!

I know exactly what you mean. That’s how I learn too. If I’m unsure I take a stab at it and ask for others opinions.
After your first truly successful grow you will feel like you have a lot better understanding of it all.
Nicky is a good one to listen to. He’s one of the reasons I bought the autopot system to water for me.

I was under the impression that flushing at the end of the grow isn’t about washing out nutrients from the plant. Its about forcing the plant to consume and digest its stored minerals and nutrient. Leaving you with plant matter and cannabinoids instead of plant matter cannabinoids and minerals and nutrients. I flushed my first and fed straight to harvest on my second. I’ll be flushing always now. The smoke from my first grow was smooth as silk, this second one rough and turns my bong water brown after a few bowls. @Nicky is the bomb and I don’t like to buck against what learned people say, I gotta here though…bro science or not, the cure isn’t enough to smooth out over nuted flowers. Flush combined with budwash, slow dry and minimum 3 week cure is where its at. Wish it wasn’t called flushing people say stuff like you can’t wash away nutrients…no duh… you can make the plant consume its stored “fat” though…just like a person can detox themselves by forcing the breakdown of stored toxins, usually buy fasting and by excessive water consumption…just like flushing your plant.
I agree however, the objective should be to manage the amount you feed so that there isn’t excess stored nutrient. If your giving more then they can use they get fat just like people. I think for newer growers, the flush will make for a way better tasting med. Once you get to pro status like Nicky and so many others here, flush dont flush…im sure it doesn’t matter.

Here is a thread that might Intrest you
Man that’s a relief. My plant has started smelling like… a barn? Hay? Old crispy autumn leaves? I can’t say, but I hate it. She smelled great - lightly skunky and very fragrant, but over the past 3-4 days she slowly took on more of a … barn-ish smell after giving her some Citrus Sweet. I just gave her a very deep watering tonight with a little bit of Recharge and unsulphured molasses, no Citrus Sweet at all. Wondering if she was excreting the citrus stuff and I just can’t stand the smell of it. I should probably go sniff the bottle now.

Just a report, I did some major clippings a week or so ago and had to clip a low lying fruit/bud. I saved it to try and let it dry out a bit. Sure it taste like hay and the the terps haven’t got a chance to do thier thing, but BB is some INTENSE ass shit! Just wow!!!
