Harvest Questions

First off thanks in advance for your replies, your help is appreciated! As harvest time approaches, a couple of questions.

Being used is Age Old Bloom only, at the rate of about 2.5 ml per gallon, pH'd to about 6.5. 2 gallons of water about every 7 days. (Please chime in with whatever I'm doing wrong with the Age Old bloom, does it suck, better alternatives, additives I missed, whatever) When do I stop the nutes and is there anything I should do before harvest such as flushing out with clean water, stop water completely, how much and when?

Also the smell. Everything smells like dirt/a pile of leaves, no skunky smell at all, since the start. Is this normal?

U wanna stop the nutes 2weeks before harvest and flush with plain ph'd water. As for the smell, some strains are know to be 'low odor' but i wouldn't personally consider it normal, still though nothin to worry about. I'm just a big fan of the smell myself so I just hate it when my room don't stink like a skunk.

Thanks for the reply, was hoping it reeked like skunk also but not anything.

Two weeks huh? Might be close to that already. So a flush for one plant in a 3 gallon pot might be what? How much water should be run out the bottom?
