⁹You guys are an amazing group just putting that out there. If it wasn't for mr.growits videos and your awesome support I think my plants wouldn't of made it. My next question for everyone is, I'm currently on week ten of flower. Iv been flushing every other day for a week and my ppm are still higher then me( thats an issue). I'm planning on doing 72 hours dark for the last 3days of this week. Can I flush everyday instead of everyother to get the extra crap out. Thanks in advance.

Drying usually takes anywhere from 5-10 days and it cures until a birthday or Christmas comes around.
I don't flush either unless there's an issue that warrants it. I just stop feeding a week to week and a half prior full nutrients and continue just water and potassium.
First off, know that flushing before harvest is a highly debatable topic. Some growers don't flush at all before harvest. I personally just like to see the leaves fade which is an indication that chlorophyll is being removed. If you smoke buds with chlorophyll present, you will taste it and it's not pleasant. Chlorophyll also breaks down during the curing process. If you don't flush your plants, you just may need to cure for a bit longer before all the chlorophyll has broken down. Unfortunately we don't know the rate that chlorophyll breaks down so we can only speculate.
That being said, flushing your plant daily may do more harm than good imo because you're drowning the root zone. The roots need oxygen too and if you're over-watering the plant at the end of the grow then it may impact plant-growth processes. What is the runoff PPM at now?
