Flower: 3 weeks and 3 days in. Seeking advice.

So I am 4 days away from week four of flower.
I have limited room and light, and a 2 gal plant not shown. Feeding at moment.
I believe I may another 4/6 weeks left.
Can some one advice when I should begin my flush?
Trimming: I know some do and some don’t. How long before I trim my fan leafs, before harvest. As you can see I have already trimmed some what, especially at root area to allow light.

Please advice.

flushing isnt really that necessary, just stop feeding 2-3 weeks before harvest. As for when that will be you need to go by the look of your plant and trichomes. Im just now finishing up my first grow so no pro but i stopped feeding around whenever i the pistils were 25% orange. I personally didnt defoliate until 2 weeks before harvest because density of buds and wanting to maximize airflow around the buds.

You really just flipped. My guess is 6 weeks and about a pound, judging from your preflowers.

Yes, just adjusted timer and wallah next day running 12/12. Figures first grow try it this way, and experiment counting down or 24 darkness next time and compare. So far everything still on track, buds starting to grow a bit more noticeably l. I’ll upload a pic shortly.

Well would you consider no more feeding and only water flushing?? Which is my plan. Gunna have to get me a better lupe then to check. Thanks!

here’s one, sorry about blurple lights

I recently started defoliating 21 days into 12/12 after years of not doing that and notice a much better result with lower to middle buds finishing evenly with the tops. Also at the time, I cut off any wispy lower branches that won't get any good light. Those buds won't even pop corn for you. Be mindful though, I grow hydro so my plants recover from that kind of stressful training very quickly whereas a soil plant might take a few days to a week to recover so be picky when choosing what to take out so not to over stress the plant. I just pluck the old large fan leaves to allow better air circulation and light penetration and of course the branches I think won't do well.

Are you in soil or coco? Do you know what strain you're growing? The more indica, the quicker it'll finish.

They are looking good. What type of lighting you have there?

Pluck the leaves that fall off easily. @Skybound420 nakes a valid point. And don’t want to stress out a lot. Take 1-2 at a time and take the ones that come easily.

Well I trim or at least try to as much as I can, whatever small branches or leafs start to grow under. So i think I’m doing that well, I do hesitant on the big leafs higher up, I know not to touch sugar leaves, but since it’s a bit crowded in my room I’ve been contemplating, for now just removing what’s under and takes from top buds.

1024 strain
Amnesia Regular
I’m in coco and about 30% FF Ocean F.

Thanks. Well as my first time grower, went with Amazon Bought Viperspectra 900w. Read so much negative on LEDs didn’t think I’d see buds lol.
I try to pluck not every day, more like 1 every 10 days or so.

It appears you've accomplished mostly what's needed in terms of cleaning up under her skirt as I can a lot of light landing on the lower stalks/branches, so now it's just a waiting game.

You are halfway there. Start thinking about flushing once you start week 6/7 depending on how they look.
