AK 47 Auto - First auto grow - When to start flushing?

Hey everyone,

My 3 girls are almost at the end of week 6. And they are looking pretty good from what I can tell. (pls check out the pic and let me know what you think. I LSTed them so they have more than one main top.)
My question is: Will the plant give me some indication on when i should start flushing? Like for example the first signs of yellowing on the lower leaves? Or should I just go by time schedule and start flushing when I think they're approximately 2 weeks away from being cut? I'm only using organic nutes (Plant Magic - Oldtimer Bloom) so maybe flushing doesn't matter that much afterall? Any advice on when I should discontinue the nutes? If you guys could tell me signs on the plant that indicate the right time rather than just a plain time schedule it would be much appreciated. If it doesnt matter all that much let me know as well; just being careful... I keep hearing autos are somewhat "tricky" plants and that messing up is even more costly... have tried looking around the forums if a similar post had been made but with no luck. If you know about one pls let me know here.

Im using 400W HPS - made my own organic soil mix - and they're in 25 liter pots.. i think thats like 5 gallons...

Personally I think you should start flushing once you see some brown pistils around 40% and you should have flushed out all the nutrients by the time you harvest - Hope this helps... rep 4 rep

Hey thanks for the advice. And yes it helped!
I know that autos don't always follow the growth schedule that seed companies advertise so clues on the plant are much better than keeping a strict schedule! At least in my opinion...Also have one madame (on the right in the pic) who seems to be a little ahead of the pack so its gonna come in useful for her.
And I would up your rep if I knew how
