Flush and harvest?

Thank you
yeah, sorry for coming across as a smart ass, but as said, flushing is a myth that gets a lot of space on here, and it's pretty much general consensus that it's un-needed and a waste of water and does nothing for your plants..
also, as said, just learn how to dry and cure your bud the best you can for the best results..

Ok if no flushing is needed do you think i should harvest now or wait a week or a couple weeks

i'd wait probably idk, another 2 weeks or so looking at the pix..
i like to wait until all of the pistils, hairs, have not only changed color, but when most of them have also all receded back into the buds.. secondly, when they get pretty close, you'll notice the calyx will swell up and get nice and fat.. it's hard to put into words but you should be able to notice when this starts to happen..
lastly, when they're ready to come down, the whole plant will take on a different look.. again, this is kinda hard to describe in words without being able to show you, but once you see a plant that's really ready to come down, you'll know what i'm talking about.. i have chopped one grow too early, and i was so mad at myself after all of that time that i got impatient and took it too early.. the smoke was not as potent as it should have been, and the high was much shorter lasting..

It looks over watered...but that is not the case...i have 2 plants in 5 gal smart pots...i give 3 liters when the soil feels dry about .5 inch down.

Here's a little background I have 2 plants in 5 gallon smart pots I'm using LED lights to grow I have 1 450 and 1 600 W.

I'm using advanced nutrients micro grow and Bloom along with big Bud Bud Candy Overdrive B52 and I planned on using the flawless finish to flush it

Growing in sunshine #4

you could try and get a good feel for how heavy the pots are when you pick them up after a good watering, then as the days go by, pick them up again each day, and again, get a feel for the weight.. when they start to feel light, you'll want to water again..
i've never used sunshine mix, so i'm not exactly sure on how often to water as i usually use fox farms stuff, but you'd probably be a little better off letting them dry out a bit more before watering them again..

this is the right answer.
