lots of new fan leaves last week of flowering?

have 3 very heavy plants around 8 weeks into flowerin under a 400w..i started the flush 2 weeks ago and since then it has just been growing new sets of fan leaves? is that normal? is this reveg? if so can i put them back into flowering for two weeks? PLEASE HELP!!!

it wont reveg unless you change the light scedule and re-vegging really stresses the plant...IMO

Why on earth did you flush and remove their food 3 or more weeks before harvest? That's 1/3 of their life.

Very bad practice IMO

where did u get 3 or more? he very clearly said two weeks

two week flush is needed. shut up about the flushing shit already. Flush, tastes good. Don't flush, tastes like shit and burns bad. Period. Unless your completely organic.

Doesn't make sense about new fan leafs, you should really be losing fan leafs at this time. There has to be some other change that's happened other than just the flush.

I 100% disagree with you. Curing and Drying is what makes it taste better and burn better. Not magically removing nutrients from the bud of your plant. No other farmer flushes their plant before harvest and they have been at it a lot longer than you or I. Plants are plants, marijuana doesn't need they mythical flush in order to be good weed.

To the OP, you might have gotten some light leaking in during dark time that can cause revegging. If not, then I would just ride it out until when you think it should be harvested and be done with it.

Three weeks instead of two weeks because anyone this novice is counting from when 12/12 was started, not actual weeks of flowering.

Flushing is a myth until proven otherwise.

Who wants to explain where all the stuff that is supposedly being flushed out, is being flushed TO?

pics w0uld be helpfull

Exactly. But all the seed banks and books etc mean actual weeks of flowering when they say flowering. So if the breeder says 9 weeks of flowering, that means 10 weeks of 12/12.

Very well put. I don't know why people this that growing this plant is so different than growing tomatoes, peppers, cabbage or carrots; it's a fucking plant - period. Plants do NOT uptake organic compounds. The taste and burning properties are absolutely and directly resultant from curing, good or bad. Taking away the plants nutrients during the most critical two weeks of it's life is just plain myth.

I'm not even going to start to go into flush/no flush.

To answer the ACTUAL question, sometimes plants have growth spurts late into flowering. Sativa-dominant plants in particular can flower, then sort of re-flower again and again.
This might explain some extra leaf development a few weeks before the end of flowering.

Definitly need pics for this type of question and I find flushing does help taste/burning of herbs for me anyways ;but I dunno my 2cents says maybe if only feeding very low strength nutes a person could flush less/or maybe not at all.......... // I flush for 1 week min. before harvest \\

GREAT ANSWER!!

I find flushing makes a difference for me. There's a good read ^^

Yep, there are strong feelings on both sides of the flushing fence but If you want REALLY super clean tasting weed, then you need to water cure. It removes all the nasty stuff and harshness, and you don't have to flush.
