Quick question on flushing

[MrAwder]

I've been flushing 3 plants for about 10 days. I still plan on letting them go a few days, but I am concerned. They do not seem to be losing their green color and the leaves are not dying out at all. In most finished flower shots I see the fan leaves are yellowed or have lost their color in some way. Should I be seeing this?

Should I wait until I do see this happening or should I just take them at 2 weeks of flush?

thanks

are you flushing with plain water or are you using some sort of flushing product?
what medium are you growing in?
how large are these plants?
was it a heavy feeder while it was growing?
did you overfeed at all?
all of these will affect the rate at which a plant will flush. I normally wait till i see the plant yellow up a good bit before i cut that way i know the plant has started to feed off of itself. some might say 10-14days is enough. really depends on the plant and the growers needs, but the way i see it, you have already waited 8-10weeks, whats 1 more?

wait until it yellow's up a bit, your buds will only get better...try to make sure that the run off is totally clear also. ^^^ this guy's tellin you what you need to know, buds will only get more flavorful and better smelling. start reading up on drying/curing, it's an essential in having top notch bud.

Ok i will definitely follow your advice. Sorry I did not to think to add these details before but if it helps:
growing in 1L airpots. Plants are 1.5 to 2ft tall. Medium is Coco coir mixed with roots organics Coco mix.
Using flora nova grow and bloom nutes. Flushing with straight tap water.

ive never used coco coir myself, so i'm only repeating what ive heard so not sure if its true.
but from what i'm told, coco coir is able to hold a lot of nute salts and is harder to flush because of that. was told his is why there is a different line of nutes for coco to deal with the salts. some people use flushing agants like final flush or clearax because it adds in the releasing of the salts from the medium. this is more of a preference and is really not needed. all in all i would just flush for another 7-10days and u should see the plant yellow up
good luck and enjoy your smokes
