When to flush?

So lets say your prized sativa takes 11 weeks to achieve the trichromes you desire. Should I flush for a week at week 10, or week 11? It seems like you'd want to keep them fed until you achieve your trichrome level you want, then let them go to week 12 with a flush. What week should I flush? When they're done, or start a week before they will be done? I'm thinking flush at week 11. Any help is much appreciated. BUMP BUMP

If it's an 11 week strain then flush for 2 weeks prior to the 11 week marker, if in hydro, flush for 1 week. The concept of the plants having nutes up until harvest is true, but the point of flushing is that the plants retain a good amount of asved up nutes within the plant, so when you start flushing it fails to find food in the medium so it uses up what it has put aside.

wait till they are done then flush away.

I wait for my trichs to get to the desired level of color then I flush.

I'm at week 10 and they're not as frosty as they should be. This is when i flushed last grow, perhaps I'll wait til week 11 this time and see what happens. It's all about experimenting I suppose. More input/pros and cons definitely welcome.
