Things are looking absolutely pristine as far as trichs go although I am only on my 4th day of flushing. The trichs are saying that today/tomorrow is the day for harvest but I am only at day 4 of flushing.

15% of the leaves have turned yellow/purple since flushing began. What would the experienced growers suggest?

Do not skimp on flushing! It will determine the taste of your labor. I'd say wait at least 10 days of flushing 3x the capacity of your container w/proper ph'd water. Good luck!

Flushing time depends on your medium. Hydro will flush in just 3-5 days as apposed to soil where you may need up to 2 weeks.

I prefer 2 flushes - 1 at the start, then water using plain water, 1 a week later then normal water for another week then pull...worked for me both times!

i flush 3x the volume of the soil container or a week in hydro, i also use clearex, its a salt leaching agent so it breaks the nutes out of the plant and replaces the sugars, you can also give it molases after that to, i usually do and my ash is pure pure white
