Final flush confusion

Okay. So my Strawberry Cough/Deep chunk (purple plant in pics) is around day 50 of flowering. It looks done. I dont have a good microscope but the trics look pretty milky under a magnifying glass. I gave her straight water about a week ago, and the same every other day or so since. Do you guys think i should just let it keep going another week, or maybe just flush the shit out of it and chop it asap....
Also, i wasnt expecting my querkle (green plant in pics) to finish out so quickly. I am on day 44 and the leaves already have a slight orange ting... Should i Flush with 3x pot size and then just plain water for a week? Two weeks? No big flush and just plain water? what do you guys think? First grow so any help is much appreciated!
Also if it helps, they are both in Coco/perlite (70/30) and they were fed with GeneralOrganics Bloom, and Botanicare Hydroplex. (GeneralOrganics grow, roots xcel for veg) and the querkle had a big Mg defic. so i started supplementing with CES Mg. Thanks!

i would advise leaving your purple plant for another week, depending on what kind of high you want. flush for 2 week for best results, flushing will make for a smooth smoke and good flavour. i usually flush it once with 3x the volume of the pot and then just water them with plain water but other growers flush more.
hope that helps

4-7 days more imo. Those hairs just look too 'alert' to me. If you're new it's always good to 'wait till you think it's ready, then wait another week' :)

Okay. Thanks for the replys. I cut the tops off the purple plant two days ago because the hairs were completely receeded, where as the lower buds were not. Than chopped the rest today becuase the hairs looked about the same as the tops two days ago... I guess i got a little impatient and didnt think anyone was going to reply to this thread! I posted pics in FDD's "wanna know when ur shits done" thread, and he said they were done...He seemed to know what was up... I have another strawberry/deep chunk that is a couple days behind so i figured ill let that one go another week or so, and compare the final products. So the one I chopped part of was plain watered for about a week. The other Strawb will be flushed for more like 2-2 1/2 weeks when finished... Heres a question: How is the taste effected if you let a strain go to long? If say, the second plant finishes and tastes alot better, is it safe to say it was due to the flush? (given i dry and cure in an identicle way)
Gave the Querkle mommy 9 gallons of fresh water two days ago to start the flush aswell. I am no longer worried about only flushing a week becuase i talked to some growers today that use the same nutrients and they only flush 3 days. Also found alot of info on people not flushing at all. I will just focus on doing a proper cure. Sorry for all the nonsense/ rambling... Ill post pictures of the harvest soon if anyone cares
